At the bottom of the Royal Mile is the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queens official residence in Scotland. Alongside the palace is Holyrood Park, a huge park with hills and lochs. The highest of the hills is Arthur's Seat at 823 feet. There are a number of different routes you can walk to get to the top, or fly if you are a dragon. I went along the route that takes you past Salisbury Crags. These are 150 foot tall cliffs of basalt. This photograph was taken after I passed most of the crags. The walk gives great views over Edinburgh. It's a very popular park so you aren't likely to be by yourself at any point. It was a nice sunny day, but a bit cold, which meant the views were clear. It can be a bit cloudy round here so the view can be of clouds.
