Bruntsfield Links

  Bruntsfield Links sits just south of Edinburgh's city center, tucked away near the charming Bruntsfield area. Dating back to the 16th century, this public park is known as one of the oldest golf courses in the world, featuring a distinctive 9-hole layout. The main feature of Bruntsfield Links is its expansive green space, ideal for leisurely strolls, picnics, or a game of golf, with wide paths and manicured lawns allowing plenty of room for everyone. In spring, particularly in April, the park bursts with life as locals and tourists alike enjoy the blooming flora, and you might even spot some playful wildlife, including various bird species. Visitors can take advantage of this historic site while playing a round of golf or simply relaxing under the shade of mature trees.
