Walk: On safari at Corstorphine Hill
City of Edinburgh | Corstorphine | Short walk | ★★★ [Clermiston Tower on the summit] A rather famous zoo covers part of Corstorphine Hill, but there's plenty left over to explore without risking being trampled by trampled by wildebeest. The wooded summit is crowned with Clermiston Tower, built in 1871 to celebrate the centenary of Walter Scott's birth. Elsewhere, a maze of paths criss-cross interesting rocky knolls, with excellent views towards Edinburgh , Arthur's Seat and the Forth Bridges from the occasional open areas. It doesn't really matter exactly which route you take, but make sure to walk the entire length of the ridge to see the most interesting parts of the hill. [The south end of the ridge is an excellent vantage point for Edinburgh and Arthur's Seat] 📌 Walk: On safari at Corstorphine Hill ★★★ Start / finish at Hillpark Avenue, Davidson's Mains, 4 mi west of Edinburgh Waverley station, G.R.: NT 205751 ///wells.grows.remote ▶ 5 k
