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.
