Arthur's Seat
From the summit cone of Arthur's Seat (top of photo), you can
descend to Dunsapie Loch by a wide grassy path. When you reach the
sidewalk facing the pond and its parking lot, you'll have two choices:
-
 Turn right and follow the Queen's Drive
around to the steps and a path that lead to the Pollock Halls of Residence. Walk inland a few blocks to Newington
Street, then turn right and continue north through the university
district until you reach the Royal Mile or the New Town. (Newington changes
its name to Clerk, Nicholson, St. Patrick, and South Bridge during the 15-
or 20-minute walk to the Royal Mile.) Or...
-
 Turn left and follow the Queen's Drive to the Duke's
Walk, the road that runs along the south edge of the Holyroodhouse Palace
grounds. From here, you can return to the city center via Holyrood Road or
the Canongate. (You might want to stop off at the ruins of St. Anthony's
Chapel, which is above St. Margaret's Loch on the north side of the
park.)
