Scope and Content Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat, City of Edinburgh The Park is important as a place of recreation, but this was not always so. It has seen settlement and fortification, farming, and industry. The landscape today contains many well-preserved archaeological monuments that help us to interpret the past. The summits of Dunsapie, Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags are all bounded by the ramparts of Iron Age forts. At the back of Dunsapie lies a small scooped settlement, also of Iron Age date. There are numerous agricultural remains in the Park. Among the best are the fifteen terraces that rise up the slopes below the summit. The Queen's Drive and Dunsapie Loch date to the 19th century when the Park was improved for recreation. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
