I always walk up Arthurs seat when in Edinburgh. It's amazing that you can be in hustle and bustle of the city in 1 minute then be in hills the next, walking up the crags will provide you with a stunning view of the city and behind the crags is a small loch and you cant even hear the city,... more

Firstly, don't even try this if it's raining or there is low cloud. We climbed up on a beautiful clear, warm day. The walk was easy, even with 2 young children aged 8 and 5. They clamberred up no problem. The many paths are clear and well worn. It can get very busy up there so time it to avoid... more

As part of our Edinburgh Tour we were told we just had to do certain things like Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, a bus tour, and see Arthurs Seat. 10 of set out in 2 taxi cabs and arrived nice and early after a smashing breakfast at the hotel for some exercise. The cab sriver asked us where we wanted to... more

On top of all the other reviews which praise Arthur's Seat as a must for every visitor in Scotland's capital city, a few tips to get the most out of it: - as before any walk/climb, check the weather forecast ahead of your walk. If the weather is turning worse, the walk will be spoilt and the views will be... more

I really wanted to go up Arthurs Seat, so it was the first thing I did after getting sorted at my hotel. I knew the route I wanted to take from reading about it online (The fuller Red route) so I was all ready. The weather was windy but dry and stayed stable, and even sunny! The route I took... more

I loved this experience. Quite difficult to get to the top, especially after showers in the morning but it's definitely worth it. The views on the sea, the city and the moutains leaved me speechless. Make sure you wear traction footwear and gloves. Bring your camera and make a panorama video of the place - it's worthless. Go back down... more

I went to Edinburgh for 3 days, and I climbed up this mountain- Arthur's Seat, which is not far away from the Edinburgh Castle. Well, I went up there, and I thought I might cry. The view was breathtaking. It isn't like the highest mountain or anything, but just seeing the city in all its glory, it was simply magical.... more

I did this walk on a very overcast day. I thought it would take me much longer but managed the whole thing in a couple of hours and that was including taking lots of photos. I joined the path across the road from the Scottish Parliament. I had decided to take the not so steep path and to stop off... more

This is an easy hike and well worth the views at the top. I highly recommend these free views. Be sure to wear shoes with good traction. Hiking boots are ideal; they provide the best ankle support. Bring your camera, too! You won't want to forget the views you will have atop this mountain! I spent about two hours on... more
