Overview
Watch the sunset from the top of Arthur's Seat - Edinburgh's highest hill (251 meters). Get outside and enjoy nature on a scenic route to the summit, away from the crowds. This hike is great for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, natural scenery, photography, or exercise.
On a clear day (hopefully!) you'll be able watch the sun go down behind Edinburgh Castle, the Old Town, and the mountains in the background.
** The tour begins precisely 1 hour before the official sunset time. Each day is different, so we will confirm this exact time after you have booked. In mid-summer the sun sets at 10pm, in mid-winter the sun sets at 3:30.
** Please arrive early so that we can set off on time. Due to being unable to control the rotation of the earth, we can't wait for late arrivals.
