What are safety and crime like in Edinburgh, Scotland?

It is lucky to climb Arthur’s Seat, especially if you are beginning your studies in Edinburgh. Regardless of how much luck you think you’ll need, it is a brilliant way to get to know the city, and a pleasant walk. In summer, Holyrood Park is covered in bright yellow gorse flowers. In winter, the city is covered in mist, making any trip particularly atmospheric. The view is best at sunrise, when there aren’t many people around, and you can see the entire Old Town in silhouette. Be careful crossing any of the city parks at night, however, as they can be dangerous.
