    Next, climb your way up to the peak of Arthur's Seat (251m/823 feet above sea level). From here, enjoy the best views Edinburgh has to offer, including Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town, and the whole of South East Scotland.

    Finally, we’ll descend back to the starting point and the tour will conclude. You’ll leave with a new sense of wonder for the breathtaking views of this magical city.
