Climbing Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh

Arthur's seat is the highest point of a group of hills in Holyrood Park. It was once part of a volcano 350 million years ago and the peak is about 822 feet high. The hill can be climbed from many angles but there is a hard way which involves a whole lot of slippery, winding stairs made of rocks all put together and of course we came at the hill from this angle. It was quite a hard climb but it was well worth it (we took the easy way down, of course, once we found it). The view from the top is unmatched and just absolutely amazing. Panoramic views of the city and the North Sea were breathtaking to say the least. I'm a huge fan of "good views"/high places when I'm traveling and this definitely did the trick!

 If you look closely, there's a steep path of stairs up that hill, to the right. Scary stuff!

 Finally made it to the top and I couldn't have been happier! That's the North Sea in the distance.

 Pentland Hills Regional Park in the distance (the hills).

 On top of the [very windy and cold] world!

 The two highest points. The previous picture was taken on the peak where the person is standing.

South/west Edinburgh.

 Looking west, the castle! The grassy area in the photo is a lower part of Holyrood Park. Those lines in the grass are walking paths. So tiny!

 Favourite picture of the day. So happy!

 Looking south

The easy way down. Just a gentle(ish) hill to walk up and a railing to help! Would've been nice haha!
