Holyrod Park

It is composed of a set of hills, lakes, canyons, basalt slabs and tojo matas, which represents a remarkable sample of the natural landscape of the Highlands in its 260 hectares. The park is associated with the Palace of Holyroodhouse and was previously a real hunting estate since the 12th century. This park was created in 1541 when James V fenced the ground with a stone wall. Holyrod Park is now accessible to the public. Arthur's Seat, the highest point in Edinburgh, is in the center of the park, and the rocks of Salisbury Crags to the west. There are three lakes: St Margaret's loch, Dunsapie's loch and Duddingston's loch. The ruins of the chapel of San Antonio stand out above the surface of the loch of Santa Margarita. Queen's Drive is the main road through the park. It is partially closed to motor vehicles on Sundays. Both the well of Santa Margarita and the well of San Antonio are both natural springs within the park.
