Decided to scale Arthur's Seat and the Crags on a rare sunny day. You will receive beautiful, panoramic views of the city, while discovering old ruins and getting fit in the process! Just go prepared, I have seen a number of people underestimate how big a hike it is, and need air lifted back to solid ground!! I would advise... More

It’s a hill overlooking Edinburgh. No visitor centre, no toilets, no chairlift, just a good old fashioned walk in the fresh air. Being Scotland that fresh air can be a little chilly (and wet) so plan accordingly. I like the fact that there are a few different ways to get to the top, and seem to even more coming down,... More

Great place to see Edinburgh and the forth at a distance. Nice walk up especially on a sunny day. Take some bread and feed the swans.

A walk up Arthurs seat is a great way to spent a sunny day. The views at the top are amazing and with so many routes to top, you choose how hard you want the journey to be. There's a lot of places to sit on the grass at the top for a picnic. Fantastic place!

Excellent hike if the weather is nice. I really recommend this hike as you can get stunning views and see the whole city (Castle, Calton Hill, the University, old and new town) from the top.

Great walk for the dog, and amazing views for pictures over Edinburgh. Would recommend this as a great walk to clear your head or just to see how amazing Edinburgh is.

A brisk hike to overlook the city...and if you are lucky a bag upper may be playing in the distance.

Excellent choice if you have a couple of hours to spare. A climb not for the feint of heart. If you reach the top and the weather is clear the views are stunning. You can drive your car up most of the way if need be.

Wear flat shoes! Also don't go up when it's really windy unless you're a strong walker. It was quite difficult to climb from the Hollyrood House end. The views are great of the castle though.
