Overview

On this tour up to Arthur's Seat, your friendly, knowledgeable and professional guide will lead you through Holyrood Park and talk you through the very distinctive natural, historical and geological sites you encounter on the way up.

Following your climb up (and many photographs at the top) you'll be guided back down to Edinnburgh, finishing where the tour started.

Get a bird’s eye view of Edinburgh (and Scotland) and experience Edinburgh like a local. Arthur's Seat is the city's No. 1 attraction on Tripadvisor.
