Arthur's Seat is Edinburgh's highest hill, visible for miles around.
The rocky slopes and cliffs of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags are part of Holyrood Park and provide a spectacular natural backdrop to the city.
Arthur's Seat is the remains of an ancient volcano that has laid dormant for more than 350 million years.
Some of the best views of the city can be enjoyed from its summit.
We did not have the time to climb Arthur’s Seat but I was happy to get a photo of it from the school yard along the Royal Mile.
From some of my early morning photos it might seem like we had some bad weather.
Quite the opposite, the clouds burned off every day and we had lovely comfortable weather the whole trip.
