Arthur's Seat Sunset Hike in Edinburgh
Overview
Great for solo travellers and small groups. Join a qualified local mountain guide on a hike starting right in the city centre.
Watch the sunset from the top of Arthur's Seat - Edinburgh's highest hill (251 meters). Get outside and enjoy nature on a scenic route to the summit, away from the crowds.
This hike is great for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, natural scenery, photography, or exercise. You'll be able watch the sun go down behind Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town, and the mountains in the background. Enjoy views out to see and towards the Scottish Highlands on the horizon.
