One of several peaks in the long-extinct volcanic ridge that towers behind Edinburgh, Arthur’s Seat offers hill walking in the heart of the city. Set within the 640-acre (260-hectare) Holyrood Park, it’s also the site of a 2,000-year-old hill fort. On a clear day, the summit promises spectacular views of the cityscape.

Great experience
Gwen was a fantastic guide. It was obvious she enjoyed showing me around, customizing the experience to my personal interests, all while making me feel at ease from the moment we met outside my hotel. I would recommend this tour to get an initial overview of Old Town and the Royal Mile.
