Musselburgh racecourse
Eight miles west of Edinburgh, the course is in the Millhill area of Musselburgh in East Lothian close to the River Esk.
The Flat and jumps tracks are about a mile and a quarter round and quite sharp. There are 20 meetings throughout the year. At first, race meetings were held on the sands at Leith, but in 1816 they moved to Musselburgh and was originally known as Edinburgh.
