Description: Leith Links The view across Leith Links from opposite the end of Salamander Place. Arthur's seat can be seen in the distance on the left and Salisbury Crags straight ahead. The Links are famous for golf. The first mention of golf in relation to Leith dates from a reported dispute in 1552 between the cordiners (cobblers) of the Cannongate and the cordiners and gouff ball makers of North Leith. However the most famous single golf event on the Links was on 2nd April 1744; the occasion of the first golf competition anywhere in the world arranged by a group of golfers who were to become known as the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.
