I visited Arthur's seat last September and had to climb to the top of Arthur's seat! As a key landmark in Scotland, I made sure I had time to hike the 251m hill. Allocate at least two hours to climb up and down, and wear comfortable footwear! Remember to wrap up warm as it gets windy at the top! It is conveniently located to lots of nearby attractions like Calton hill and the Royal Mile. #edinburgh #scotland #hike

Edinburgh is Scotland's compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials. Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh is renowned for its heritage, culture, and festivals. Take a long walk around the center to explore the World Heritage Sites of the Old Town and New Town, as well as all the area’s museums and galleries. Pause to fortify yourself with tea and scones at the city’s charming tea rooms or duck into a traditional pub. Then head out to take in one of Edinburgh’s many events—including the famous summer festivals of culture, or the Winter Festivals of music, light, and ceilidhs.

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground, the slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky and ablaze like the fire...

#ediinsider We were looking for places to go when we were in Edinburgh of Scotland. After searching, we decided to go Arthur's Seat. Thus, off we went. Arthur's Seat is an ancient volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, Scotland, which form most of Holyrood Park It has an elevation of 251 metres and a prominence of 174 metres. When we reached there, we were actually quite tired. Thus we didn't went up the hill and just took some photos at the bottom. Even though we didn't climb up to the summit, it looked spectacular from below too. It must have been nice to look down from the summit.

A rite of passage for all who visit Edinburgh, Scotland!! My absolute favorite place to hike as a student at Edinburgh University. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The views are beyond comparison and it’s the perfect place to chill and take some insta-worthy photos (but beware of strong winds blowing your stuff away 😆) Hike takes about 2H and difficulty level is beginner-intermediate 🛤 #travelinspiration#unforgettableexperiences#awesomepic#hiking#naturalwonders#hikingtrails

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~
