    Hiking

    Salisbury Crags are an exposure of a carboniferous sill between the sedimentary rocks, the harder igneous rock takes longer to erode than the sedimentary rock so you get a cliff face. The walk around the base of the crag offers amazing Edinburgh views and you'll sometimes see climbers scaling the crag.
    Don't miss the view from Salisbury Crags in Holyrood Park when visiting Edinburgh. They will take your breath away.
