Edinburgh Town Guide, The Meadows, 6K

Like most cities in the UK, Edinburgh has several excellent parks.

Situated to the south of the city centre you will find a huge open expanse known to all as the Meadows.

Edinburgh Town Guide, The Park, 1K The Meadows has been a popular public park since 1860.

Prior to that the area was home to the Burgh Loch which supplied the city's water. However after a new water supply was found the whole area was drained, leaving the wide expanse of parkland you see today.

There is a good range of recreational facilities available in the park, but most people regard the Meadows simply as a place to go to relax in the sunshine or join in with a spontaneous game of football.
