The Meadows

Frommer's Review

South of Old Town, separating the city center from the suburbs and leafy neighborhoods that popped up in the 18th and 19th centuries is this expansive public park. Tree-lined paths crisscross the playing fields, whether it's soccer, rugby, or cricket, with plenty of additional space for having a picnic or flying a kite. The park dates to the 1700s, when a loch here was drained. At the far western end of the Meadows is Bruntsfield Links, a short-hole course which has a hallowed place in the history of golf and can still be played today during the summer.
