Arthur’s Seat

At the beginning of April, my brothers came to visit Scotland for a few days.  We spent the long weekend in Edinburgh and I got to check another thing off of my to-do list for the city: hike Arthur’s Seat. This is a hill in the middle of Edinburgh that when you hike it, offers incredible views of the city.

The entire hike up was also really beautiful and I couldn’t believe we were still in the city.

I would not consider myself a skilled hiker or even a casual one but this hike was definitely doable and completely worth it.  I spent a lot of time in Edinburgh over the past year and Arthur’s Seat was one of my favorite things about the city.
