"but the beauty and regularity of the new town of Edinburg, its romantic castle and its environs, the most delightful in the world, Aurthur's Seat, St Bernard's Well, and the Pentland Hills" (118)
Arthur's Seat is the main peak of the group of hills in the center of Edinburg. It is a remarkable highland landscape. St Bernard's Well was supposedly discovered by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, the founder of the Cistercian Order, in the 12th Century. He became ill and followed the birds to the spring which drank from it. He was soon healthy due to the well's healing powers. The Pentland Hills are a range of hills to the south-west of Edinburg that are about twenty miles in length. These beautiful landscapes brightened Frankenstein's mood as natural wonders often do in this novel.
