Arthurs Seat

Arthur's Seat Hike

Join us on an intimate hike up to Arthur's Seat: Edinburgh's highest peak. We guide you on a local's route up to Arthur's Seat for a 360-degree view of Edinburgh and South East Scotland. Book onto a Small Group tour or a Private Tour.

Arthur's Seat is a hill surrounded by legend, history and, most of all, beautiful scenery....in fact, 650 acres of it!

On this tour we guide you through the most beautiful parts of Holyrood Park and up to Arthur's Seat. From the top of the hill, you're given one of the best panoramas Scotland has to offer.

A volcano millions of years ago, Holyrood Park is a huge, steep rugged green space right in the centre of Edinburgh. Arthur's Seat is the highest peak in Holyrood Park, and Edinburgh.

For anyone keen to get outdoors while in Edinburgh, this tour is a must-do, and suitable for any active people aged 4 and over.

To start, we meet you at the bottom of the Royal Mile, right in front of Holyrood Palace, at the entrance of the King's Gallery.

Join a small group tour or email us on team@localeyestours.com to book a private tour up Arthur's Seat.

Please bring appropriate outdoor clothing and footwear for this hike, along with a bottle of water and snacks if you need them.
