Arthur's seat in Edinburgh is a fascinating wonder of nature - an 823ft landmark that becomes an island set amid a swirling sea of mist, with only a castle in the clouds as company. It literally and metaphorically rises above the rest of the city.

For all Edinburgh’s Georgian architecture, festivals, medieval Old Town, this is definitely it’s most striking feature.

The best time to walk it is when the sun’s either coming or going. The light and views down onto the city are fantastic. There are plenty of different routes you can take to the top, depending on your abilities.
