Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh

Gorgeous hike, relatively easy - around 30-1hr walk, starts with a slow ascent and then increases in steepness for the last 100m to the top. Many trails and easy access from the city - hiking gear not necessary. Great place to catch a sunset.

We set off first thing in the morning from our apartment to Arthur’s Seat. It was actually quite a challenged hike up the final part but my goodness it was worth it. The views were incredible!! Here are some tips if you’re thinking about making the trek up… 1. Plan ahead: Make sure to check the weather forecast and wear appropriate clothing and footwear. It's a good idea to bring a rain jacket and sturdy hiking shoes, even if the forecast is good. We actually seen someone wearing slides making there way up 🤣 2. Start early: Arthur's Seat can get quite busy during peak hours, so try to begin your hike early in the morning to avoid the crowds. 3. Bring water and snacks: The hike can be strenuous, so make sure to stay hydrated and have some snacks to keep your energy levels up. 4. Take your time: Arthur's Seat is a challenging hike, so don't feel rushed to reach the summit. Take your time and enjoy the views along the way. 5. Be aware of the terrain: Arthur's Seat is a rocky and uneven hike, so be prepared for some steep inclines and rocky paths. Watch your step and take care when navigating the terrain. Have fun!
