Arthur's Seat: an ancient volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, which form most of Holyrood Park. It is situated just to the east of the city center, about 1 mile to the east of Edinburgh Castle.
Holyrood Park: a royal park in central Edinburgh. It has an array of hills, lochs, glens, ridges, basalt cliffs, and patches of gorse. The park was created in 1541 when James V had the ground "circulit about Arthurs Sett, Salisborie and Duddingston craggis" enclosed by a stone wall.
