Salisbury Crags

A busy day, returning our youngest granddaughter to her mum and dad hen off to hopefully mother-in-law's last visit at hospital before she returns to her care home tomorow! This is a drive by shot of Salisbury Crags.
 
From Wikipedia
The Salisbury Crags are a series of 46-metre (151 ft) cliffs at the top of a subsidiary spur of Arthurs Seat which rise in the middle of Holyrood Park. Below the foot of the cliffs is a large and steep talus slope falling to the floor of Holyrood Park with a track known as the Radical Road running in the space between the two. This track was given its name after it was paved in the aftermath of the Radical War of 1820, using the labour of unemployed weavers from the west of Scotland at the suggestion of Walter Scott.
