06.06.09 Bruntsfield Links

Our day today was dominated by the Bruntsfield Links, the part of the Meadows nearest to us. It's a 36 hole par 3 golf course in the middle of town and it is free! All you need to do is bring a ball, pitching wedge and putter and off you go. As long as you can avoid the pedestrians strolling around it is good fun. Magnificient views of Arthur's Seat from here but failed to bring a camera.
In the evening we went back to watch the fireworks to celebrate the end of the Festival. The links were swamped with people this time, and some even had brought lawn chairs and sat in the middle of the greens. ouch!! The fireworks were orchestrated with music which was broadcasted live and people had brought radios so it was a great atmosphere and the display was magnificient. Next year we'll have to make it to the Princess Street Gardens though as the Castle blocked our view!
