Walk from Haymarket along canal. Tricky to work out from OS where the paths up the hill are but took a punt on heading down Lockharton Crescent and found the path through railings. Signed to hill top. Great views north and south.jedthehumanoid09/01/2020
2 of 4 on a round with L from Tony's house. Paths , signs and steps to the summit seat.City hills such as this are always good value being an oasis of nature, with so much to see from a lofty perch. Murrayfield is prominent to the north where people regularly pack themselves together voluntarily, and also Edinburgh prison - constantly packed, less voluntarily. A sad medical report out just this week highlights the overwhelming majority of prisoners have had a previous head injury and unaddressed long term mental health issues. The naked rambler (Stephen Gough) has spent many sentences / years in this prison, often removing his clothes as soon as being released, and re-arrested.Chris Pearson13/08/2019
