Winter on Calton Hill

Calton Hill is more or less in the middle of Edinburgh and so is an ideal place for a nice walk before doing some last minute Christmas shopping. It's famous for its various follies

 and for it's views of Arthur's Seat

I believe there's a fell race up and down Arthur's Seat. I'd love to watch it. Must be good craic. Bagpipes to boot I wouldn't be surprised!

Hi Gwil, there's usually a triathlon, running round Arthur's Seat, cycling round Arthur's Seat and swimming in the Commonwealth Pool!

THere's been a cross country race round Arthur's Seat, remember Mo Farah racing in it.

Simon - I think that race is at a different time of year though, the triathlon is on New Years Day. And now I've just noticed that Gwil didn't mention the time of year,
