The Climbing
Haggis Knowe
Haggis Knowe is the small lump by St Margaret's Loch, and just under the ruined St Anthony's chaple. It looks like a mini Sailsbury Crag. A bouldering venue really.
Samsons Ribs
A formation of columnar basalt overlooking the low road at the south side of Holyrood Park
The Long Row
Long stretch of cliffs that overlook Hunters Bog. Short routes up to 10m.
The Dassies
3 small outcrops in front of the long row
Dunsapie Buttress
The small crag by Dunsapie Loch.
Red Craig
Lions Head
The cliffs on the northwest side of Arthur's Seat,
Ravens Crag
If you stand at the South end of Sailsbury crags, and look up its the "crag" to the right of the path. The rock is loose.
Holy Tree Crag
Unsurprisingly its got a holly tree at the top! its the crag to the east of Samson's Ribs
Moon Crag
Loch Craig
Between the high and low roads, overlooking Duddingston Loch - described by the SMC guide as "not worth the bother".
Girnal Craig
