Description

Easily navigable as ring-road ran around Holyrood park called Queens Drive, a walking/cycling pathway was also available in the park. Checked weather which stated rain would be due soon. Packed extra clothes in a dry sack and a waterproof coat. Steep reach to the summit, not too busy as weather was due to rain but a few other people were at the top. Partially obscured view from cloud over Edinburgh and Holyrood park. After summiting, I had heard about a chapel which was now in ruins but decently preserved given its date of construction. Walking down the steep summit into a valley between Arthur's seat and Whinny Hill, the chapel ruins came into view. Upon reaching the ruins there was an information board about the history of Anthony's chapel, its usage and possible size. I descended down the outcrop of rock the chapel was on, down to St.Margretts Loch to join back on to Queens Drive where the walk ended back at the car
