this is highest elevation in Edinburgh. the hike is about 1.5km, 260m elevation. hike up from the Queen’s Drive side. coming down is more difficult than going up. bring water.
Slowly go up from the park, the closer to the top of Arthur's throne, the more gravel road, the more difficult it is to go up, if you encounter strong winds, you need to pay attention to safety, after boarding, overlooking the surrounding scenery, great!
Beautiful place. It’s definitely worth it, if you can you should hike to the top, otherwise enjoy the panorama and the lakes.
It takes about30-40 minutes to get to the highest point, high above, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Edinburgh. The weather was fine in November, but the wind was very strong. Prepare a coat that can block the wind and water.
A great short hike with amazing views of Edinburgh city! Very windy at the top!
