One of the best known parks in the city. A diverse mix of plants and various on site amenities like a cafe and glasshouses make it a great place to go, especially on a sunny day.

Large Public park featuring many hillside walks. Features Arthur's Seat, a popular tourist viewpoint and largest of the '7 hills'.
There are also other features like ruins, Salisbury Crags and lochs. It is sometimes, perhaps due to the minor inner valley, refereed to as 'Scotland in miniature'.

Currently on the market for sale.Such a shame that Dewars folly was built at the bottom of the Royal Mile would have been best site for the Scottish Parliament.The Central Square would have been perfect for Reichstag design in Berlin.

Per Wikipedia the statue used to face the other way towards the masters grave but the owner of the Pub in the background turned the statue so his pub would be in the many shots taken of the statue.

Interesting place. Strange how it's possible to go past this building for years without realising it's a church, although I think inside or on a plaque at the entrance it says that it was intentionally built, probably originally for Irish immigrants, to be inconspicuous to the surroundings, in order to avoid attacks from angry protestant mobs.

I have never known which door to use, when going in and out of that building. The one at the car park and the one on Holyrood road both seem just as sensible as each other.
