GENERAL INFORMATION
There’s a rewarding, short hike you can take up this ancient volcano, which sits opposite Castle Rock, with the Royal Mile and much of the Old Town of Edinburgh in between. From atop Arthurs’ Seat, you’ll enjoy a stunning view of all of Edinburgh.
Insider Tip
It’s very breezy at the top at all times of the year, so do wear layers.
