Scotland's capital is said to be built on seven hills and boasts some panoramic views from its peaks. The city is home to Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano in Holyrood Park. Edinburgh Castle sits on a hilltop and looms over the city. Edinburgh is also home to Scotland's crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny that was traditionally used in the coronation of Scottish rulers.
