Active Things To Do in Edinburgh

Take hike up Arthur's Seat, the highest point in Edinburgh (about 251 meters high. Arthur's Seat and the neighboring Salisbury Crags were formed by an extinct volcano and carved out by moving glaciers. These hills, lochs (lakes) and cliffs make up Holyrood Park and offer somewhat easy walking trails.
If you are looking for more aerobic exercise in the form of an organized tour, hire a bike from Cycle Scotland in the Old Town and explore the highlands & islands of Scotland, discover the famous Whisky Trail, visit historic castles and sacred sites or Scotland's west coast wilderness with the wind rushing through your hair.
For a romantic stroll, wander the deep, luscious valley surrounding St. Bernard's Well, a round Roman-style temple whose legendary and "miraculous" mineral waters are purported to have cured various ailments including arthritis, back aches and blindness.
