Old Photograph Levenhall Links Scotland
Old photograph of of golfers on Levenhall Links, Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland. The Royal Musselburgh Golf Club originated at Levenhall Links before moving to Prestongrange House. Levenhall Links are now one of the most popular sites for birdwatching in the vicinity of Edinburgh. The ash lagoons have provided a roost site for gulls, shorebirds and terns; while the seawall provides excellent views of the flocks of sea ducks such as Common Eider, Velvet Scoter, Red-breasted Merganser, Long-tailed Duck and Common Goldeneye. Many rare visitors have been seen over the years including Wilson's Phalarope, Western Sandpiper, Marsh Sandpiper, Franklin's Gull and Citrine Wagtail. It has hosted three terns which had their first occurrences for Scotland here; namely Forster's Tern, Lesser Crested Tern and Royal Tern. It is also the most regular site in Scotland for the Mediterranean Gull.
