It is only a stroll from the centre of Edinburgh - a rugged, rocky hill with superb views over the Scottish capital.
As you turn away from the city, the path levels out. On your left hand side, steep cliffs, the Salisbury Crags, tower some fifty metres above you; where they end, you suddenly see a small valley and a higher peak behind. That is the actual Arthur's Seat summit, and can be reached by walking up stairs, stones, and a path leading up to the summit proper at 251m. A small stone marks the summit, and from here, you have superb views on all sides. The surprisingly rich character of the scenery here is striking: peaks, small lochs, ridges, cliffs and whin covering part of the landscape. It is hard to believe that you are in a city park (Holyrood Park), until you of course see Edinburgh Castle in a distance.
