After watching the City [The Amazing Scotland: Part One "The Old Town & The New Town of Edinburgh"](@mustavi/the-amazing-scotland-part-one-the-old-town-and-the-new-town-of-edinburgh) We were continuing our tour for the rest of the day and after getting off the bus near the palace at Regent Road around 11am and we thought to visit the Palace of Holyrood but my friends felt no interest and said we have seen so many old buildings already let's watch the natural beauty! So I had to left the chance to observe the beautiful Palace. Instead of watching the old building built in 1678 we went to the Scottish Parliament Building close to the park constructed during 1999, after observing the beautiful building we had to get ourselves ready to climb around 1000 feet.
The Holyrood Park created by James V in 1541. This park located to the south-east of the old town at the end of the city center.
When we were close to the Park we were thinking about the weather! Instead of observing the ground level we thought to win the summit first.
The view of Calton Hill and the Edinburgh Palace far away and could be seen from the dormant volcano's peak. In the heart of the Edinburgh this wild naturel area is breath-taking. Soon we have reached the Salisbury Crags (stone kind road) it was only 46 meter height still the panoramic view looks awesome from this distance.
After the grassy slope soon the path getting rough near Samson’s Ribs and found beautiful rocky area I mean hard rock.
Although, it was dangerous to climb the rock but I could not hold myself to go up and capture a picture.
We have seen the artificial loch which supporting several birds between Dunsapie Hill and Arthur’s Seat which is known as Dunsapie Loch.
Arthur’s Seat is an extinct volcano and the highest point of Edinburgh which is 251 meter height and our main target is to watch the beautiful city of Edinburgh from the summit. Actually while I was at the tourist Bus I was searching about the city for a while and found the Holyrood Park is a beautiful place to be.
Arthur’s Seat is a dormant volcano and one of the highest points in Edinburgh. Hike to the top for breath-taking views of the city and a touch of wild nature in the heart of Edinburgh. Here you will also find a hill fort, dating from around 600 A.D. although there are remains of older structures nearby dating from 2 A.D. In mythology, Arthur’s Seat is considered to be a possible location for Camelot, the legendary castle of King Arthur. Arthur’s Seat is a dramatic and historical place, and the perfect starting point to explore the nearby hills around Holyrood Park.
The aerial view is amazing and this might be the only place where you could watch everything including the Old and New town side by side.
Soon we have started to get down and the amazing green grassy made the landscape even beautiful, the beautiful land looks amazing under the summer light. Little trees around me and their leaves looks like thousands of lights, absolute beauty.
Thanks for the walking with me, rest of the day we were walking the in the city. Next day we will go to the Balloch, a beautiful village in the foot of Loch Lomond in West Dunbartonshire.
“a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design”- Robert louis Stevenson
