Arthur’s Seat dominates the Edinburgh skyline and can be seen here rising behind Calton Hill. Located in Holyrood Park, it can be climbed in an hour. The western edge of this ancient volcano is flanked by the path, known as the Radical Road, up by the red-tinged Salisbury Crags. However, the best way up is via the ruins of St. Anthony’s Chapel. Continue uphill, through gorse, into a smaller valley. Keep to the right to reach Arthur’s Seat and enjoy the extensive panorama.
