The view is wonderful in all directions. When i was a boy my granfather and I used to climb it at least once a week. Unfortunately the sheep are no longer there, but it is still fun. I do it with my son when we are in Edinburgh.

    Thank you for your suggestions they have been most helpful. Arthur's Seat is now on our list and I'm certain my wife will hike it as well.

    Here is our list so far:
    Edinburgh Castle
    Arthur's Seat
    Princes Street (and gardens)
    Bannockburn Heritage Center
    Luss and Glen Fruin (Colquhoun Clan)
    Scotland Pipe Band Championships
    Spend a night in a Castle (don't know which yet)
    Culloden Battlefield
    ?????

    If you are going to the Bannockburn Heritage Centre you should certainly visit Stirling Castle (and the Wallace Monument) as well.

    I'll be posting some piccies of my visit last Friday very shortly.

    And if going to Culloden then Inverness and Loch Ness are very close.
