arthur's seat is an extinct volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in edinburgh, scotland, which form most of holyrood park, described by robert louis stevenson as "a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design"[1] It is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m (822 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city and beyond, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking. Though it can be climbed from almost any direction, the easiest and simplest ascent is from the east, where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch. At a spur of the hill, Salisbury Crags has historically been a rock climbing venue with routes of various degrees of difficulty, but due to hazards, rock climbing is now restricted to the South Quarry and a permit is required.

walk in a nutshell
the climb on to arthur's seat may be steep, but an excellent path on to the compact, rocky summit (and a panorama par excellence) makes the ascent easier Superb paths also run around the rim of Salisbury Crags (where a little care should be taken) and once the ascent of Arthur's Seat is accomplished, the hard work is done for the day and it is a simple matter of following a pavement through Holyrood Park back to the start.
why it's so special
there can't be many cities with a volcano (albeit dormant) slap bang in the centre, but edinburgh is one such place The peaceful Holyrood Park is the perfect antidote to the busy streets of Edinburgh, and a climb over Salisbury Crags and on to Arthur's Seat grants a breathtaking view of Edinburgh and, particularly, Edinburgh Castle.
keep your eyes peeled for
the remains of st anthony's chapel, which is the only building to stand within holyrood park Very little is known about the chapel but it is thought to have been built in the 1300s as an outlying chapel for Holyrood Abbey, although the chapel was seemingly built on land that belonged to the monks of Kelso Abbey. The demise of the chapel is also shrouded in mystery but probably fell into disrepair after the Reformation of 1560.
recover afterwards
edinburgh has so many fine pubs and restaurants that several pages would be required to list them all However, the Canon's Gait (canonsgait.com), on the Royal Mile, is one of Edinburgh's best pubs.
if it's tipping down
edinburgh has a plethora of top-notch visitor attractions including the national trust for scotland properties of gladstone's land (bitly/HTNgDR), a superbly restored and refurbished 17th-century tenement house situated on the Royal Mile, and the 18th-century Georgian House (bit.ly/nUSL6g) in Charlotte Square. This has also been restored..
