Description

Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh, Scotland, requires a short hike to an extinct volcano that offers panoramic views of the city.  I took an hour out of my day to do a short hike to a low peak near the Holyrood Palace while on vacation.  There are lots of people, trails, and activity in this area.
