Arthurs Seat is probably one of the main attractions of the city. It is not often you see a great big bloody hill in the middle of a city, but Edinburgh is no normal city after all. \n\nthere are two parts to Arthurs Seat, The Crags and Arthurs Seat. Don't make the same mistake I did and climb The Crags thinking it was Arthurs Seat. Imagine my surprise. It's a nightmare climb yes, but hey it's only 20minutes of your life and trust me, it's worth it when you get up there. Ok, so it's a bit soul destroying when you are huffing and puffing up while spritely old men are jogging up past you...twice...but when you're there it's amazing. I used to go up all the time with my dad and our dog, it's a bonding experience and the dog is quiet for the rest of the day. However, I made the mistake once during a spur-of-the-moment trip up to the top wearing my new Ugg Boots. Bye bye ugg boots.\n\nin the summer it's a great place to toddle up to with your pals, bring a picnic, and in winter it has spectacular views. It's the best place to be during the fireworks, and is a really special place to take in the New Year with that someone special. It is a nightmare to get to the top, but it's simply dreamy when you're there (....see what I did there?)
