A Walk round the Boating Pond

            Inverleith Park Pond
Inverleith Pond was constructed as a model boating pond in the 1890's. It has a puddle clay base and a surrounding tarmac walkway with several concrete jetties where Club members tend to congregate. The pond covers an area of 7,500 square metres - roughly 150 metres long by 50 metres wide. The sloping bank in the foreground was once a bird sanctuary and it is believed that the birds that sought refuge here may have brought over the seeds that today cause a seasonal Canadian Pondweed problem.
The pond is approximately 2 feet deep at its edges increasing to about 3 feet in the middle - 'wader depth'. 
 
Model Boating has always featured strongly and records exist of clubs operating here from the early 1900's, with powered model boats reported to have been operating as far back as the 1920's.
