View from Arthur's Seat over Salisbury Crag's

From outside the Palace of Holyroodhouse up to Salisbury Crag’s took me around 20 minutes, the views where great but I decided that I wanted to do the walk properly and go right to the top of both the the crag and Arthur”s Seat. The height of Arthur’s Seat is 820 feet but it felt like a lot higher. The views were stunning, and the weather was bright and sunny. The climb was hard and it was a little windy at the top. Stupidly I didn’t have any water so I was very dehydrated but it was worth it. The photo below was taken from the very top of Arthur”s Seat looking over Salisbury Crag”s towards the city of Edinburgh. To the left of the photo you can just make out the castle and to the right is the Firth of Forth and its bridges.

Climbing Salisbury Crag’s, Edinburgh

Climbing Salisbury Crag's, Edinburgh

Getting high up in a city can be a challenge, in certain cities like New York or London its not difficult but Edinburgh doesn’t have huge skyscrapers or tall buildings, but what it does have is extinct volcano systems and rocky crags. I decided I would climb up too Salisbury Crag’s, situated within Holyrood Park. I should get some interesting photo over the city from the top. I will post when I get back from what looks like a long walk and a bit of a climb.

We set off early this morning for Scotland, this is the second time I have travelled up by car and also stopped at the Westmoorland Hotel, just of the M6 motorway at Tebay in the Lake District. The full English buffet breakfast was delicious and good value for money. I would certainly recommend this when traveling up north. We didn’t stay the night at the hotel just enjoyed the breakfast. The photo below shows the view out of the window of the restaurant.

Yes, believe it or not this photograph was taken about 6 feet from my local bus stop. I got off the bus from college this afternoon and was walking home, and then I thought to myself ‘let’s take a photo’. I haven’t updated the site for nearly two weeks. I am currently finishing up a few important projects for college before my up and coming travels. So within the next few weeks and over Easter there should be a lot of photography / graphics posts. This photo isn’t very impressive but I liked the sky and thought that I might as well share this.
