At 780 feet (238 m), Crow Hill is 43 feet (13 m) lower than Arthur's Seat. However, there are far fewer people here. The view is also very beautiful. It can be windy, so you should bring a jacket, even in summer.

Stunning views and not as crowded as Arthur's Seat, so ideal for a rest before or after the climb.
