It is only a stroll from the centre of Edinburgh - a rugged, rocky hill with superb views over the Scottish capital.
When you walk out of Edinburgh city centre, you do not get a good view of Arthur's Seat. All you see is a high hill towering above its surroundings, exerting an irresistible call to be climbed. And indeed, climbing could not be easier. You can choose from several options; I chose to climb from Scottish Parliament. Passing Holyrood Castle, crossing the street took me to a steep climb up the western side of the hill, which gives the best views over the city. Indeed, the higher I got, the better the view became: not just the Parliament building, the Castle, Calton Hill, but also Edinburgh Castle, and further away: the Firth of Forth and hills in a distance.
