Lonely Planet review

Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano of 251m (823ft) situated smack bang in the middle of the city's doorstep wilderness, is the focal point of Holyrood Park. The former hunting ground of Scottish monarchs, the park covers 650 acres (260 hectares) of moorland, lochs and fields. Arthur's Seat forms part of a volcano that includes Calton Hill and Castle Rock.
