We're huge fans of Skelf! And always surprised by how many people haven't gone along for a shot - it's only a 30 min, almost traffic-free cycle from Leith Links 🚲
Epic scenes at the SKELF park. Kids of all ages keeping active at this superb facility
Great atmosphere, with everyone checking on each other if there’s an “off”
Public luxury FTW!
