Sunday walk on Arthur's Seat

A Sunday walk with Rosie - last sunday. up Arthur's Seat, a bit, then around the road with the brilliant views, and over to Duddingston village and the Sheep Heid Inn, oldest in Scotland, or even the Uk i cant remember!

Salisbury Crags, and the Radical Road

the top of Arthur's Seat, we didnt climb up. used to bring the cats here in a duffle bag years ago when i was younger, so they could run about.

view of the city looking north-west, the fact that Arthur's Seat is right in the middle of the city, you get city views from all around.

along the road looking south

and Prestonfield Hotel, v posh

the lochan, its a bird reserve

a longer view looking east, or south-east

Duddingston Church

around the other side of Arthur's Seat now, on way down to Duddingston

the path down with Rowan berries


and into Duddingston


to the pub - this is the door


we sat out in the pub's courtyard and had a bar-b-q ostrich burger


then down to the lochan and Canada geese, before going back home. This walk just reminded me how lucky i am after all to live in this city - so many nearby places to go for walks and be away from the city noise.
