Arthur's Seat

 

How can you not love a city with a mountain in the middle of it?  Arthur's Seat rises 823 feet above sea level, rewarding hikers who reach its summit (or close to it) with generous views of land and sea. 

Today's rare clear morning drew people of all ages and climbing levels to the hill. You can see them here, making their final ascent up the extinct volcano. 

Once on top, you could see for miles — park and city and the Firth of Forth. Imagine having these views in your back pocket, there for the taking whenever you have the energy for the climb.
