It's hard not to be bowled over by the sweeping Crags of the Holyrood area, and the immenseness of Arthur's Seat at the centre of Holyrood Park. I've been running here a few times, and on one occasion there was this amazing fog and mist hanging over the large expanse of water on the route round Arthur's Seat, and the whole area just felt absolutely haunting and amazing. I do feel we're really lucky in Edinburgh to have places of such natural beauty, so close and accessible from the centre of town. \n\nThe Holyrood area also encompasses The Scottish Parliament, exhibition centre Dynamic Earth, and Holyrood Palace. I'm a little bit ashamed to say I've never been to Holyrood Palace, or maybe I did go on one of those school trips I can't remember, but it's one of those scenarios where I always say I will go, but when something's on your doorstep, you put it off. However, I definitely have been to The Scottish Parliament, worth a look so you can form an opinion, if you wish, on the controversial expense of the architecture, but I more enjoyed peering into the Debating Chamber and chilling there for a while.
