View From Arthur's Seat With Bagpipes Music On History Visit To Edinburgh Scotland

Tour Scotland short aerial 4K travel video clip, with Scottish bagpipes music, of the view from Arthur's Seat on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to Edinburgh, Britain, United Kingdom. Arthur's Seat, Scottish Gaelic: Suidhe Artair, is an ancient extinct volcano that is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, which form most of Holyrood Park. It is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1 mile to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 822 feet, provides excellent panoramic views of the city and beyond, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking. It is sometimes said that its name is derived from legends pertaining to King Arthur, such as the reference in Y Gododdin. Some support for this may be provided by several other hilltop and mountaintop features in Britain which bear the same or similar names, such as the peak of Ben Arthur in the western highlands, sometimes known as Arthur's Seat, and Arthur's Chair on the ridge called Stone Arthur in the English Lake District.
