Holyrood Park is a natural area with good distant views of sea, land and hills and Edinburgh too, from Arthur’s Seat and the rocky crags. The view here is looking down from the slopes of Salisbury Crags across Hunter’s Bog towards Leith and the sea in the background.  Lower down it was hard to believe how close it is to the busy city centre with only the sound of birds including greenfinches, whitethroats, blackbirds and many others.  Extra  I was delighted to find the rare Adder's-tongue fern growing among tall grasses in one of its very few locations in Scotland.   It is an almost inconspicuous unusual fern, only about 8 centimetres high with a bright green leaf-like frond and a narrow spore bearing spike that resembles a snake’s tongue which gives the plant its name.  It was very hard to get a photo without grass and many of the clouds disappeared later but too late for the photos.
