Arthur's Amble

Join a ranger on a free, gentle guided walk to learn about Holyrood Park's geology, wildlife and its rich archaeology and history.

Come along on a gentle guided walk around Hunter’s Bog and St. Margaret’s Loch to learn more about Arthur’s Seat’s turbulent past, created by fire and ice!

Find out about the people who lived and worked in the Park from 7 thousand years ago up until the present day and learn more about the rare wildlife that makes the Park so special.
