Salisbury Crags, located in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, Scotland, are a series of impressive cliffs that rise 46 meters high. These bad boys are like the rock stars of the park! They're made of dolerite and columnar basalt, which gives them a unique and rugged appearance. You can find them on the west side of Holyrood Park, just below Arthur's Seat. The cliffs are famous for their rock climbing routes, attracting daredevils from all over. But be careful, folks! Loose rocks can be a hazard, so make sure to follow the rules and stay safe. And if you're not into climbing, don't worry - you can still enjoy the stunning views from the Radical Road track that runs along the foot of the cliffs. So grab your hiking boots and get ready for an adventure at Salisbury Crags!
