Many consider Arthur's Seat to be a memorial to the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires in which 28 people died across South Australia.

More than 1500 people were injured in the fire disaster, 383 homes and 200 other buildings were destroyed and 160,000 hectares were burnt.

Renewal SA, a SA government authority, has listed for sale the 2.5ha Adelaide Hills site which was razed in Ash Wednesday.

Arthur's Seat, built in the 1850s, was sold to the government after being destroyed by the fires and part of its land was incorporated into the Cleland Conservation Park.
