Edinburgh Town Guide |
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. |
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. |
