In reply to Father Noel Furlong:
> My American relatives are coming to visit again and apparently this time they want to get in to my "climbing/hillwalking thing".....not sure what that means or even if they do!
You might want to probe that a bit further. Some Australian friends of ours came to visit a couple of summers ago. One of them had expressed a similar interest in hill-walking and had gone to the lengths of spending a lot of money on some expensive new walking boots. In the end, the only walk of any significance they managed was a 10-mile stroll with a grand total of 150m ascent, and that left them exhausted for days.
> Was thinking Conic Hill or maybe The Cobbler. I'm think from a view point of view it has to be West Coast. Any other suggestions - please?
Arthur's Seat or Calton Hill (obviously nowhere near the grandeur of your suggestions or those of others, but they're grand viewpoints).
