Arthur’s Seat is one of Edinburgh’s greatest treasures – it is a volcanic landmark, a cradle of scientific discovery and the place that shaped Dynamic Earth’s very existence. Now, we have the chance to honour this extraordinary site with something special: the Arthur’s Seat Gallery, a free, accessible new space that will transform how people understand and protect this iconic landscape.

And we need your help to make it happen.

Every year, more than half a million people climb Arthur’s Seat - yet few know the fascinating story beneath their feet or the threats this fragile landscape faces from erosion, wildfires, human behaviour and climate change.

Our new Gallery will change that, thanks to a generous grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Through hands on interactives, digital experiences and powerful storytelling, visitors will explore 300 million years of geological history and discover how to care for Holyrood Park for generations to come.

However, there is a match-funding requirement: we need to raise a further £80,000 in donations to unlock the National Lottery funding and open the doors of the Gallery. By donating today, your support will directly fund new exhibits, immersive films and engaging interpretation that inspires curiosity, deepens understanding and builds a shared sense of stewardship for this remarkable place that means so much to Edinburgh.

Bring this landmark project to life. Donate today and help us reach the summit, making sure this important new space can be free and accessible to all.

Thank you. Every gift takes us one step closer to opening the Arthur’s Seat Gallery - and protecting the story written in the rocks beneath our feet.
