Arthur's Seat travel guide

The majestic hill overlooking the city - great for a hike

Arthur's Seat is an extinct volcano located in the middle of city, practically on top of the dormitories for the University of Edinburgh. Though most would like to believe that the hill has some association with King Arthur, it most likely got its name from its days as a hillfort during the Iron Age. The easy walk to the top not only allows one beautiful views of the city and the Firth of Forth, but also the opportunity to walk through moorlands and escape the bustle of the city.

Great view over the area. I love the shape of this hill as well, reminds me of the Sugerloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro.
