Be warned, the route may be short, but it is challenging.There are five suggested routes in the park, suitable for a range of abilities. We recommend the red route, it takes around 2 hours and there is a path all the way to the summit and it’s not too steep. You will be rewarded with fantastic panoramic views of the city at the top and again on the way back along the base of Salisbury Crags, with great views of the Castle rock and the centre of Edinburgh.
Finish your walk with a gentle amble through Holyrood Park, admire the wildlife to be found on the shores of the three lochs, St Margaret’s, Dunsapie and Duddingston.
