After “doing” the Castle, the shopping on Princes Street, the Royal Mile (don’t miss the Museum of Childhood), Holyrood Palace and the Dynamic Earth, stretch your legs and venture into Holyrood Park and up Arthur’s Seat, the volcanic plug towering over the scene of the new Scottish Parliament building (site!). From here you can see the tops of the Forth Road and Rail Bridges to the west, the whole of the Forth Estuary including the Bass Rock to the east, the Pentland Hills to the south and the whole panorama of Scotland’s world-class capital.
Once the vista has been enjoyed, if you have any strength left, make your way to the Commonwealth Pool for a swim, workout or ride down the flumes; it’s right next to the hill. If exhaustion has set in then a wander past the bird sanctuary at Duddingston Loch to the ancient Sheep’s Heid pub in quaint Duddingston Village will soon restore your flagging spirits. The food’s first class too.
