Arthur's Seat
It's still the last month of 2023, climbing Arthur's Seat; the mountain is not high, but because there is no human repair activity interference, the whole climbing experience is quite exciting - no stairs, many broken stones, steep mountains, accompanied by a bit of mud after the rain, it is slippery and difficult; but it is this pure nature that makes people feel the excitement after the summit!
Descending the mountain is even more heroic, facing a large lawn that is green even in winter, just want to run and play on the lawn like a happy puppy
Find a flat place, sit down, taste banana & chocolate cookies & water to replenish energy, while the eyes also fall on the distant sea and city, feeling the peace of time~
this is highest elevation in Edinburgh. the hike is about 1.5km, 260m elevation. hike up from the Queen’s Drive side. coming down is more difficult than going up. bring water.
Slowly go up from the park, the closer to the top of Arthur's throne, the more gravel road, the more difficult it is to go up, if you encounter strong winds, you need to pay attention to safety, after boarding, overlooking the surrounding scenery, great!
Beautiful place. It’s definitely worth it, if you can you should hike to the top, otherwise enjoy the panorama and the lakes.
Definitely a Must-see site. I can sit on the top for a whole day if that's a sunny day.
A great short hike with amazing views of Edinburgh city! Very windy at the top!
