Holyrood Park

FreeoutdoorHolyrood, Edinburgh

650 acres of ancient volcano, lochs, cliff faces, and wild deer, inside the city.

Free entry

Arthur's Seat is the headline act, but Holyrood Park is far more than one hill. The Salisbury Crags cliff walk, Dunsapie Loch, and St Margaret's Loch are all quieter and just as rewarding.

Free, wild, and five minutes from the Royal Mile. Edinburgh's most underused asset for anyone who doesn't just head straight for the summit.
