I lived in Edinburgh for almost 2 years and never climbed Arthur’s Seat. Finally the day before I left, I decided I had to climb it and went with a friend. We made a day of it, with portable speakers, a picnic, and a bottle of champagne to crack open at the top. It was January so of course it was deadly windy and raining but the view at the top is completely worth it.

Be careful that you take a safe way down though! My friend and I nearly stranded ourselves on the rocky, cliffy bit that was almost to steep to navigate.
