Things to do in Edinburgh | Visiting Edinburgh and want to climb's it's most famous hill? Arthur's Seat actually has three main routes to the summit, yet most people only know of one. So in this video, I climb all three routes making it easy for you to choose which one to do. My choice? Option three within this video, it's a brilliant climb with the best views of the city.

30 seconds in I was like "cool, but really I only need the 1st one". haha. Good video.

[@sportstraveltom]

Well worth doing all 3 - it makes it a good day hike, instead of just an hour or so :)

[@user-pg2kj7ps7o]

Done all three at various times. I had the seat to myself one day when I was doing a monthly 300000 step challenge, the weather was awful, and I was the only idiot that day (I took the holyrood palace route). I keep having fantasy’s about a zip line and the golf course though!

[@deannnerem6589]

Thanks for the video. I was wondering what it would be like. I think I'll do all three too. Looks fun.

[@sportstraveltom]

Doing all 3 routes is a great day out in Edinburgh! Let me know how you get on!

[@cjane_world]

Great video! We took the moderate route, but at the top we veered off to the right and had to do a tiny little bit of rock climbing, which we didn't expect. But it wasn't a problem, but rather exciting.

[@sportstraveltom]

Glad to hear! It’s a great inner city climb! Well done on doing it & thanks for watching.

[@nomaynemcintosh5462]

115 courses?? Going to Arthur’s Seat tomorrow with my daughter. Probably doing the easy route 😅

[@CandideSchmyles]

When aged around 14 me and my mates had a race up the hard side, long before that path was there. We did it in 9 minutes.

[@sportstraveltom]

Great effort - not sure I could run it, even with the path!

[@CandideSchmyles]

@@sportstraveltom No PlayStations back then. We were superfit.

[@AndyKing1963]

did the moderate route yesterday ,the wind was killer and my knees are still complaining - great views though

[@sportstraveltom]

It's well worth it for the views! Glad you got to see them and hope the knees have recovered!

Hi! Love your vids, very informative! I do have a question, is the parking lot at Dunsapie Loch still accessible by car? Cause lately I've heard that the Queen's Drive has been closed.

[@sportstraveltom]

Hi, thanks for the comment. That's a good question re the car park. I haven't been there in a few months so maybe someone else can help on the comments? If no luck in the next few days - I will make a trip up and find out in person! Glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@geep8591]

The High Road The High Road and Dunsapie Loch Car Park are open to vehicles from Tuesday to Thursday, 9.30am to 3pm

[@boozytortoise]

We did the hard route (after doung the other 6 edinburgh hills..big mistake) and im sure we took a wooden staircase up that side..but have never found a reference to it lol

[@sportstraveltom]

Haha tough going! I enjoy the hard route the most.

[@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms]

Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it... I also have a channel and I was wondering how did you add the subscribe button (which I clicked of course) in the bottom right corner ?

[@sportstraveltom]

Thanks mate - glad you enjoyed. You can add the subscribe button in the video watermark section in Branding on your channel.

[@KevinAugelloNewEarthFilms]

@@sportstraveltom thanks for getting back - I tried it via a tutorial on YT, but some people tell me it works and other people tell me it doesn’t odd - we’ll figure it out

What's the music in the background?

[@sportstraveltom]

It's from Epidemic Sound.

[@sportstraveltom]

Love it - spot on. Impressive number for one city!

[@gilbertmoyes2918]

@@sportstraveltom, If you have a bad slice you can end up playing 6 or 7 coarses on the same day. 🤣

[@sportstraveltom]

@@gilbertmoyes2918 hahaha that’s very true!

[@tedeast4789]

25 courses...

[@sportstraveltom]

Nice guess, but a little high.... willing to give it another go?

[@tedeast4789]

Last guess. 50

[@armanvarona1326]

What if you get to pee?

[@sportstraveltom]

You're not far away from plenty of options in Edinburgh!

[@My_Secret_ArtSketchbook]

If your spouse is abusive and you are thinking of leaving them please do NOT go near these hill tops places with them. A pregnant Lawyer called Fawziyah was pushed to her death at Arthurs seat by her husband.

[@billmacrae1924]

Don't need tghe funky music, or any other kind of music.

[@sportstraveltom]

Cheers for the comment. I made the video so I guess I'm allowed the creative freedom to add music should I wish.
