Parks & Nature
In recent years, many events and temporary venues have made use of the Meadows, most infamously the Ladyboys of Bangkok and their circus tent during the Edinburgh Festival. Some feel that this constant use of the space is damaging to the environment, and the Friends of The Meadows & Bruntsfield Links group has campaigned for more strict protection of the area.
The Meadows is a beautiful area of the city with a fascinating history which this article has only touched on. Recently-introduced information panels tell more to those visiting, whilst the Friends of the Meadows site has an excellent in-depth article on the topic.
