St Anthony’s Chapel

Nice resting point/​place of interest on the way up or down the seat. Lovely view of the loch from here.
Lovely remains just a pity there isnt more left of it.

For those of you with no head for heights or who struggle with steep climbs this may not be the place for you, but perched on a small hill is an old ruined chapel. I found this on the first day I came to Edinburgh and it really is a gem of a spot; always quiet and good views out over the sea, Calton Hill and down onto Margaret’s Loch below — there really is no better way to see the Loch.
As it is the building up here isn’t spectacular; in fact only one wall remains. Yet this is why I like it up here with a bit of history which doesn’t impose, it’s almost apologetic for spoiling your view. Definitely one of the underrated spots in Edinburgh.
