Arthur's Seat

TheTamshee: set out early to hike around Salsibury Crags and sit aloft Arthur's Seat to view the city from Edinburgh's highest point.

It was then the easy grassy route down to Dunsapie loch

to watch the Swans struggling to break free from the frozen loch and gain a foot hold on terra ferma.

Looking south over St Margaret's Loch to the distant ruins of St Anthony's Chapel

The history of St Anthony's Chapel then up the Royal Mile to get some quality leek & potato soup at Deacon Brodie's.
