| Caption: | Oblique aerial view of Musselburgh Racecourse and Levenhall Links golf course, looking from the east-south-east. |
| Description: | The made ground is reclaimed from the intertidal flats of Musselburgh Sands by controlled tipping into lagoons behind a new sea-wall of fly ash from Cockenzie coal-fired Power Station. Four stages are seen inside the sea-wall, from left to right: settling-pond currently being filled with fly-ash sludge; infill forming mound; pond part filled and left as recreational facility; infill mound with wildlife ponds created on top. The racecourse and golf course lie on the naturally flat area of the post-glacial raised beach with low dunes of blown sand. Levenhall Links, on the seaward side is not a natural links at all, but is made ground. |
