Arthurs Seat

According to the internet brainchild that is Wikipedia:

"Arthur's Seat is the main peak of the group of hills which form most of Holyrood Park, a wild piece of highland landscape in the centre of the city of Edinburgh, about a mile to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 251 m (823 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city, is relatively easy to climb, and is a popular walk. 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."

that's it all the way on the left. And yesterday we climbed it.



The view from the top is amazing: the full 360 degree panoramic view of Edinburgh, with the Firth of Forth on one side, the sea on the other, and miles of city and farmlands on the other two.

the climb isn't nearly as easy as they make it sound, though.

I guess the people who wrote the article never did it themselves.
