Arthur's Seat and the New Scottish Parliament

This magnificant geological structure - Arthur's Seat - lies just on the outskirts of the old city next to the Holyrood Palace and the new parliament. The Queen's palace backs onto an extensive stretch of park lands and commons. We spent an hour or more wandering around though we didn't muster the legs to climb Arthur's seat after the rigours of Carlton Hill earlier in the day - next time!
