Holyrood Park is a royal park in central Edinburgh, Scotland. It is regarded as a microcosm of Scottish scenery, with a stunning array of hills, lochs, glens, ridges, basalt cliffs, and patches of gorse packed into its landscape. The park includes Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, the Salisbury Crags, St Margaret's Loch, Dunsapie Loch, Duddingston Loch, and St Anthony's Chapel.
Salisbury crags
The Salisbury Crags are a series of tall cliffs rising from the middle of Holyrood Park. The crags are divided into two sections, with a narrow track along the middle. They join onto Arthur's Seat.
Arthur's Seat
- Main article: Arthur's Seat.
Arthur's Seat is the main peak of the group of hills which form most of Holyrood Park, a remarkably wild piece of highland landscape in the centre of the city of Edinburgh, about a mile to the east of the castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 251 metres, provides excellent views, is quite easy to climb, and is a popular walk. Though it can be climbed from almost any direction, the easiest and simplest ascent is from the East, where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch.
Samson's ribs
Samson's ribs are a formation of columnar basalt.
