Why you should visit it
A visit in Edinburgh should include climbing the legendary Arthur's Seat. If you are less adventurous, try Salisbury Crags which is an easier climb and you get a closer view of the city. St Margaret's Loch is an easy walk, but still a very scenic option.
Special tip
Scotland can be extremely windy sometimes, avoid climbing on windy days. Climbing shoes recommended unless you want to end up with muddy sandals.
