Close to the top of Arthur's Seat. You can see it on the left. As you can see, it is a mountain and good shoes are highly recommended if you plan to climb it. That being said, the paths are well worn and not terribly difficult. Still can be exhausting and steep at points, so pace yourself and take something to drink with you.

The Tron Kirk, about halfway down the Royal Mile is somewhat of a centre for the old town. And as you can see no longer in use as a church, but instead a venue for concerts.

The monument from the outside. The room seen before being on the first level. Just above the lower arches.

If you're up to the many steps (288, or so they say and the last few are steep and narrow), the Scott Monument features a wonderful view over Edinburghs old town, georgian quarter, the Arthur's Seat and, of course, Waverley Station.

The main building of the National Museum from the outside. The entrance nowadays actually being in the former cellar where you can see the people entering and leaving between the blue cars.
