Arthur's Seat, Paperback / softback Book

Arthur's Seat Paperback / softback

Part of the Journeys and Evocations series

Paperback / softback

Description

Arthur's Seat is climbed (or walked up and around) by thousands of people each year.

The views from the top of the 350-million year old landmark are breathtaking, yet most who tread its rocky paths are unaware of its great mysteries.

Where did the name Arthur's Seat originate? What led Washington Irvine to claim that this was a site of 'pure witchcraft'? And who concealed seventeen dolls on the hillside in a mock burial?

In this memorable book, Stuart McHardy and Donald Smith recount the tales of folklore and customs that surround Edinburgh's tallest hill.
