Dominating over Holyrood Park, Arthur's Seat is a dorment volcano rising 822 feet above sea-level.
It is the highest of Edinburgh's seven hills.
It's name has been documented since the fifteenth century.
It is undoubtably a strategic look-out post used for military purposes and the association with King Arthur may be a matter of its use as such in the 6th century.
The 'seat' itself is said to be the indent between the highest point of the peak and a secondary point a little way to the south.
