Well, it's a bit of a steep climb, but the views are spectacular. You can see a heck of a long way when it's a clear day. My husband climbed Nelson's Tower which afforded even better views. Nice and peaceful up there too - a hidden gem. More

This was a great place to overlook Edinburgh, especially if you don't feel ambitious enough to climb Arthur's seat. There is a great 360 view of Holyrood palace, the Royal mile, the bay area, and even Forth Rail Bridge can be seen!

Easy to park near at old Royal High School and nice walk round . Recommend a visit More
