Just realised I never log walks up Arthur's Seat, despite it being a sub2k hill, albeit a very small one. First time I've been up in 2022 and won't be the last. Up it 4 or 5 times last year, must be around 30+ times in total over the years. Went via Calton Hill and took the steps up Arthur's Seat from the east this time. Unusually for a dry, afternoon, I had the summit to myself; I don't usually bother going to the trig point area when there are crowds, but did today, though too windy to spend much time there (too windy to hold my phone still, hence slightly blurry pics).
