Experience an unforgettable sunset hike up Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh's highest hill, guided by a qualified Mountain Leader. Start your adventure at the end of the Royal Mile, where you'll meet your friendly local guide an hour before sunset, ready to explore one of Scotland's most iconic landscapes right in the heart of the city.

Step directly from Edinburgh’s bustling city streets into the natural beauty of Holyrood Park, a tranquil escape free from roads and traffic. As you ascend, your guide will share fascinating stories about the area's history, geology, and wildlife, making the journey as enriching as it is scenic.

The route to the summit promises ever-changing skies, with vibrant colors intensifying as the sun lowers. Your guide ensures you follow the safest and most beautiful path, so you can fully immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Scottish countryside without worry.

Once you reach the top of Arthur's Seat, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views over Edinburgh and, on clear evenings, glimpses of distant Scottish mountains. Take time to capture stunning photos and savor the unforgettable atmosphere before descending safely with your guide.
