Autumnal sunshine

It was a lovely autumn day, as I got my 10,000 steps in today wandering round Levenhall Links, round the corner from the house.

Levenhall Links is 134 hectares of land reclaimed from the sea by building a sea wall and pumping of large amounts of pulverised fuel ash into a number of ash lagoons. This infill site for fly ash from the coal fired Cockenzie Power Station has been restored and landscaped, shallow pools for wading birds have been created, and the area has become a popular site for birdwatchers, as well as an informal golf practice area. The Royal Musselburgh Golf Club originated at Levenhall Links before moving to Prestongrange House.

Here’s hoping the good weather continues.
