Blackford Hill

A great walk with beautiful views of Edinburgh's skyline

Blackford Hill is one of Edinburgh's seven hills and offers stunning views of Edinburgh's skyline, Arthurs Seat, and the Firth of Forth.

Blackford Hill is situated in the southern part of Edinburgh, around 2 miles from the city center. Rising 164 meters above sea level, Blackford Hill provides panoramic views of Edinburgh's skyline, lush green landscapes, and the Firth of Forth.

The area itself is a beautiful place to wander, offering various trials that wind through its diverse terrain of woodlands, open fields, and rocky outcrops. At the summit, you are rewarded with captivating views that extend as far as the Pentland Hill.
