Arthur's Seat & Holyrood Park
Iconic hill in a mini-Highland setting; walks (30min–2hr)
As a volcano it may have been extinct for 350 million years, but these days Arthur's Seat, a rugged 250-meter (820-ft) hill, hums more or less round-the-clock with outdoor activities.
There are all the usual dog-walkers, swan-feeders, joggers and cyclists lapping its circular road (closed to motorists on Sundays for the purpose), but there's also a steady stream of exploring visitors too.
They're here because Arthur’s Seat not only provides wonderful city views, but also because the surrounding Holyrood Park offers a toy-sized chunk of rural Scotland to enjoy. One that's complete with heathery hills, grassy knolls, crags, cliffs, lochs and ruins. Scotland’s oldest pub is even here to complete the experience.
