Holyrood Park/Arthur's Seat
Holyrood Park is a unique historic landscape in the heart of the city, whose dramatic crags and hills give Edinburgh its distinctive skyline.
World renowned for its geology, the Park also boasts a wealth of history and archaeology spanning thousands of years. Arthur's Seat, one of four hill forts, dates from around 2000 years ago. East of Dunsapie Crag is a prehistoric farmstead of scooped circular huts. St Anthony's Well, a stone bowl and massive boulder, lies on a path up to the gaunt ruin of St Anthony's Chapel, which stands on a spur overlooking the Forth. Downhill is St Margaret's Well, one of seven holy wells in the Park.
The remains of medieval and later rig-and-furrow cultivation can be seen in several places. A Royal Park probably since the 12th century, Holyrood Park was enclosed by a stone-built boundary wall in 1541. As well as its rich cultural heritage, the Park offers walks, solace, wildlife, volcanic geology and unparalleled vistas of the city from its many vantage points.
