Passing Dunsapie Loch

Every spring, thousands of toads make their annual migration from Arthur's Seat to Dunsapie Loch, a small lake located in Holyrood Park. The toads hibernate in the crevices and crannies of Arthur's Seat during the winter, and in the spring they emerge to mate and lay their eggs in the water. The toad migration usually takes place between February and April, and it can be a dangerous journey for the toads. The roads in Holyrood Park are busy, and many toads are killed by vehicles. In recent years, park rangers have closed a road in the park to help protect the toads, and they also put metal covers over the drains to prevent the toads from falling in and drowning.

An idyll right on the edge of the old town.
