One of the best views in Edinburgh once you reach the top, and one of my personal favourite nature walks!

This is another favourite of ours. Great views across to Arthur’s Seat and across the Firth of Forth to Fife and beyond. There’s a lovely woodland walk by the Braid Burn

Home to an ancient hill fort, Blackford Hill offers lovely views over the city, and is very popular with dog-walkers, joggers, and explorers! Less touristy than the more famous hills closer to the city centre, this is a perfect spot for those looking to get a good view off the beaten track!

An even shorter climb than Arthur's Seat, you'll get the best views over the city as well as feeling as if you've escaped the buzz of city life.
