One of the most appealing aspects of a city is having the ability to leave the world of concrete and head into a world of serene nature.
Edinburgh was a city designed for those who enjoy green space, so we naturally felt right at home.
Prior to our trip, we read about Arthur’s Seat; a hike that takes you to a high point of Edinburgh (823 feet to be exact) and offers commanding views of the city.
Despite an unknown forecast, we knew this was something we simply had to do.
With Noah strapped on to Robert’s back and intense winds, we made our way up the mountain.
Once on top, we came across hail and relentless winds, but we were happy to have made it.
The day was filled with hiking, basking in the views, relishing in the glimpse of sunlight that broke through the clouds and just enjoying being outside in a gorgeous setting.
Bird in flight as we make our way up Arthur's Seat.
Ruins from an old church...pretty impressive.
