Site description

The Gyle Park, under city ownership since 1953, has become a considerable city asset with its popularity as a sporting venue and for its magnificent views of Arthur's Seat, the Braids, Blackford Hill and Corstorphine Hill. The Gyle is one of the city's largest parks. Parts of its boundaries are marked by sycamore, rowan, sorbus and ash trees.
