Cycle speedway ,Pilrig Park, Edinburgh ©The Scotsman Publications Ltd.
The park was once part of the grounds of Pilrig House and came into city ownership in 1920. The name 'Pilrig' possibly means a field where a fortified tower stood. Cycle speedways were popular in post war Scotland as a way for young people to enjoy themselves in cities.
