Sightseeing
The castle holds a spectacular position over the city and hosts the Crown Jewels of Scotland, the stone of destiny and prisons worth visiting. Wrap up well though as it can be windy

A shorter hike than Arthur’s Seat and only a short walk from my home; Calton Hill provides visitors with beautiful views of the Edinburgh skyline. This spot is a quieter location within the city, with an array of grassy slopes and benches to sit upon and enjoy the views. Perched on top of the hill is Edinburgh’s unfinished landmark. The monument was never completed due to issues with funds, but the structure is now an icon of Calton Hill, and guests enjoy climbing up its gigantic steps. The hill only takes about 5 minutes to walk up and is also extremely close to the main shopping hub, Princes Street.

Its a bit of a walk to the top but well it for the best views of the city and surrounds. Marvel at Edinburgh’s sweeping cityscape from high above at Arthur’s Seat. An enjoyable hike through the lush terrain, grassy slopes and diverse natural structures will lead to the peak of a collection of hills, otherwise known as Arthur’s Seat. Spot iconic sites from the top such as Edinburgh Castle and Calton Hill. The summit will offer ever extending views of the city, sea and countryside of Scotland.
