Arthur’s Seat

Arthur’s Seat is the highest point in Holyrood Park, just a short walk from the Royal Mile. It’s actually formed from the same volcano system that provides the high point for Edinburgh Castleholyrood

It was a short walk/hike up on an overcast and windy day with lovely views of the surrounding area.

Lots of stairs, but very manageable!
