Excerpt from Cassell's Old and New Edinburgh: Its History, Its People, and Its PlacesIts lofty and commanding site ascends gradually from the shore of the great estuary, till it termi nates in the stupendous rock of the Castle, 500 feet above the level of the sea, and is surrounded on the southward, east, and west, by an amphi theatre of beautiful hills, covered either with purple heath or the richest copse-wood, while almost from amid its very streets there starts up the lion shaped mountain named Arthur's Seat, the bare and rocky cone of which has an altitude of 822 feet.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
