Originally designed as golf course, it was at Leith Links in 1744 that the first official rules of the game were formulated by the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers. Nowadays, Leith Links is a large open space enjoyed by the whole community. It is a great place for walkers, joggers, for football, cricket, games and picnics. There is a well used children's play area. Leith Links is important as a venue, with the Edinburgh Mela and Leith Festival being held here every year.
