Walking up Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, Scotland
I had to remove the audio due to very strong winds on the day
Arthur's Seat is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, United Kingdom which form most of Holyrood Park, described by Robert Louis Stevenson as a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design. It is situated in the centre of the city of Edinburgh, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m (822 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking. 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. At a spur of the hill, Salisbury Crags has historically been a rock climbing venue with routes of various degrees of difficulty; however due to hazards rock climbing is now restricted to the South Quarry and a free permit is required.

Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Arthur's Seat is an extinct volcano which is considered the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, Scotland, which form most of Holyrood Park, described by Robert Louis Stevenson as a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design. It is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1.6 km to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m, provides excellent panoramic views of the city and beyond, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking. 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. At a spur of the hill, Salisbury Crags has historically been a rock climbing venue with routes of various degrees of difficulty, but due to hazards, rock climbing is now restricted to the South Quarry and a permit is required.
Experience a proper hill walk in the heart of the city. Arthur's Seat's rocky summit towers over Edinburgh, with fabulous views in all directions, and the extensive parkland surrounding it is an oasis of calm as a retreat from the busy city.
STAGE 1
Arthur's Seat is the highest of a group of hills, formed from the remains of a volcano, that make up Holyrood Park. The summit is 251 metres high and surprisingly rocky and wild for a hill in the centre of a major city. Although it is popular, it still feels like a real get away from it all place. This description starts from the car park just south of the Scottish Parliament on Queen's Drive. To reach it on foot turn right if facing outwards from the entrance of the Scottish Parliament building and follow Queen's Drive to reach the small roundabout. The parking area is on the left. From here cross Queen's Drive to head towards the grass of Holyrood Park.
STAGE 2
Unless wanting to avoid rougher ground, do not take the diagonal path heading up the right side of Salisbury Crags, the long escarpment facing the city, but instead take the main walkway aiming slightly left and heading for the back of the Crags. (The diagonal path, the Radical Road, passes under the Crags and avoids a short rocky steep section before joining up with this route between the Crags and Arthur's Seat) This starts to head up a wide gap between the two lines of crags. When a narrower path leads off to the left stay on the main path. Very soon bear right onto a grassy path heading fairly steeply uphill aiming for the top edge of Salisbury Crags. From the edge there are great views down over Holyrood Palace, the Scottish Parliament, the white roof of Dynamic Earth, and further afield to Leith and the Firth of Forth.
STAGE 3
Keep following the edge of the escarpment as it climbs steadily. Take care near the edge as accidents have happened here. There is a good view east to the summit of Arthur's Seat usually with the figures of those at the top silhouetted against the skyline. Salisbury Crags were formed when the remains of the volcano from which all of the hills in Holyrood Park were made, was eroded by a glacier. The exposed edge of the basalt crags led to the modern understanding of geology following their study by James Hutton. The volcanic action responsible for these hills and the one on which Edinburgh Castle stands took place about 350 million years ago.
STAGE 4
Keep along the top of the crags until the end can be seen ahead. Do not continue right to the end as the descent is rocky and difficult. Instead take a path (sometimes muddy) slightly to the left to descend to the path below where you bear right to join the path coming up in the middle of the two sets of crags. Cross to the main path of steps zig zagging up the steep slope of Arthur's Seat. The climb is steep but relatively short and rewarded with great views in all directions. The old, eroded, path can be seen in the cleft in the middle of the hillside.
STAGE 5
Keep on the main path as it curves round the side of the hill and then bear left to reach the dip before the final rocky ascent to the summit. At the very top is a trig point and panoramic views of the city and along the coast to the east to the Bass Rock to enjoy. From the top descend eastwards to soon pick up a path with a metal chain railing. Once at the bottom of the steep section a number of paths lead off in different directions. This route takes in the lesser visited Whinny Hill straight ahead, so continue on the grassy path which climbs gently.
STAGE 6
Follow the main path along the top of the lumpy ground, with great views to Leith straight ahead. Keep following the main path through clumps of gorse until it bears slightly to the right and starts to descend with St Margaret's Loch visible to the left. The path eventually emerges onto Queen's Drive. Turn left to follow it past the loch, popular for feeding the ducks, and straight back to the car park at the start at Holyrood.

Arthur's Seat is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, Scotland which form most of Holyrood Park, described by Robert Louis Stevenson as a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design. Arthur's Seat is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Edinburgh Castle.

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. At a spur of the hill, Salisbury Crags has historically been a rock climbing venue with routes of various degrees of difficulty; however due to hazards rock climbing is now restricted to the South Quarry and a free permit is required.
Arthur's Seat is sometimes said that its name is derived from legends pertaining to King Arthur, such as the reference in Y Gododdin. Some support for this may be provided by several other hilltop and mountaintop features in Britain which bear the same or similar names, such as the peak of Ben Arthur (The Cobbler) in the western highlands, sometimes known as Arthur's Seat, and Arthur's Chair on the ridge called Stone Arthur in the Cumbrian lake district. There is no traditional Scottish Gaelic name for Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh, but William Maitland proposed that the name was a corruption of Àrd-na-Said, implying the Height of Arrows, which over the years became Arthur's Seat (perhaps via Archer's Seat). Alternatively, John Milne's proposed etymology of Àrd-thir Suidhe meaning place on high ground uncomfortably requires the transposition of the name elements.
Arthur's Seat is the largest of the three parts of the Arthur's Seat Volcano site of special scientific interest (the other parts being Calton Hill and the Castle Rock) which is designated to protect its important geology (see below), grassland habitats and uncommon plant and animal species. Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags adjoining it helped form the ideas of modern geology as it is currently understood. It was in these areas that James Hutton observed that the deposition of the sedimentary and formation of the igneous rocks must have occurred at different ages and in different ways than the thinking of that time said they did. It is possible to see a particular area known as Hutton’s Section in the Salisbury Crags where the magma forced its way through the sedimentary rocks above it to form the dolerite sills that can be seen in the Section. The hill bears a strong resemblance to the Cavehill in Belfast in terms of its geology and proximity to a major urban site.
Arthur's Seat is often mentioned as one of the possible locations for Camelot, the legendary castle and court of the Romano-British warrior-chief, King Arthur. Arthur's Seat plays a prominent role in Scottish writer James Hogg's 1824 novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. Robert and George Colwan, two feuding brothers, are caught in a fog atop Arthur's Seat and witness what could be interpreted as a Brocken spectre, a strange phenomenon of the light, which causes George to believe that he is seeing a ghost. In the confusion, Robert nearly kills George, but they both escape to the bottom of the hill as the fog begins to clear. Arthur's Seat has a passing mention as one of the sights of Edinburgh in the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.
