I'm sure there is at least one depiction of Leith Races on the walls of the Persevere.

I must have looked at it 100 times but I can't think of exactly what it looks like but I think it's broadly similar to the image above.
At least you had heard of Leith Races. I only encountered Leith Races yesterday. I find it quite staggering to find out that the event dates back to at least 1504.

Leith Races were the most important horse racing event in Scotland in the eighteenth century.[1] They took place on the sands to the east of the harbour[2] at Leith, near Edinburgh from 1504 (or earlier) to 1816.
