[edit] Name
Recently published research ( http://www.grahamphillips.net/Books/Arthur.htm ) would give more substance to the reason behind the name of Arthur's Seat. If it is true that the legendary person nick-named Arthur was the grandson of the Votadini chieftain Cunedda, who was invited to Gwynedd by the British kings, along with a migration of Votadini warriors and their families, to escape the Pict and Scotti pressures from the North and East, to join the British kings in their efforts to stave of the Anglo-Saxon invasion, then, it would make perfect sense to refer to Arthur's Seat as the ancestral seat of the Arthurian dynasty of British kings.
