Arthur's Seat

This dramatic 822-meter extinct volcano dominates Edinburgh's skyline and offers one of Scotland's most rewarding hill walks, rewarding your effort with panoramic views stretching from the Firth of Forth to the Pentland Hills. The rugged basalt peak rises majestically above Holyrood Park, where winding trails lead through heather and grassland that shift with the seasons. A scramble to the summit leaves you standing atop an ancient geological wonder with the entire city sprawled beneath your feet.
