The red sandstone cliff edge is the defining feature of this small hill. The northern flank offers the best view of the historic city centre, whilst the southern end is defined by Arthur’s seat rearing up in front of you.

Estupendas vistas de la ciudad y suficiente para no tener que subir a Arthur’s Seat (también recomendable). Muy cerca de lo que es la ciudad, fácil subida y posibilidad de seguir caminando por la zona.
