Yürüyüş ayakkabılarınızla gidin. Çok dik yerlere yürümeniz gerekiyor, yorucu ancak tepeden tüm Edinburgh’u görebiliyorsunuz.

Nice view for Edinburgh city from top of hill after climbing

Quite a trek up to the top. Need to be reasonably fit for the walk but the views from the top are worth it. Took about 45 minutes to climb to the top.
