The highest and greatest viewpoint of Edinburgh city, and it is absolutely free! This is a hike of moderate difficulty, but manageable for beginners like myself

This is an amazing place for views, but be prepared to work for it. There are two ways up, so do your research based on your skill level. The last bit is all rocks, so be careful of when you go and know your limits and skills.
It was a relatively easy hike, under 5 km and under 300 meters elevation gain. The views along the way were beyond words. At the peak, the views were even more spectacular. The yellow Gorse were in season of blossom, beautiful as they could be.
I'd definitely recommend trying it. I had the luck that some clouds stuck there.
