Edinburgh’s Holyrood park comprises of Hollyrood Palace (the official Scottish residence of the Queen of England) and several climbable hills with Arthur’s Peak being one of them. The hill is 822ft high with unbelievable views of Edinburgh once you reach the top.
It’s the perfect activity to do once you’ve explored Edinburgh’s museums and exhausted most of your money on Princes Street shopping. Only a mile away from Edinburgh Castle, grab your trainers and go exploring! It will be one of the best things you do in Scotland.
Check out the view from the top.
What an amazing city with its medieval architecture, hauntingly creepy underground closes and unparalleled hiking opportunities right outside the city.
Bring a camera. You’ll need it.
