The park contains a wealth of history and archaeology spanning thousands of years.
Because of this history the park is a Scheduled Monument and looked after by Historic Scotland. Due to its diverse flora and geology it is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Please respect the fragility of the park and help the Ranger Service when you visit by abiding by the park rules and regulations.
Highlights:
The amazing view of Edinburgh from Arthur’s Seat – the park’s highest point at 251m above sea level – and the Salisbury Crags, world famous since their association with famous geologist James Hutton in the 1700s, which dominate the Edinburgh skyline.
