To climb to the top of this small hill, it's best to approach from Leith Walk and continue along Royal Terrace and Regent Terrace. As you climb, you'll see old buildings such as the Royal High School and The Calton Jail, a prison opened in 1817. Most interesting of all, however, is the view of the city from the top, followed by the chance to gain a little more altitude by climbing the Nelson Monument tower. Calton Hill offers one of the finest views of the town, with a panorama that embraces both the castle and the Fife of Forth.

C'est la vue emblématique d’Édimbourg. La montée est un peu raide mais ça vaut le coup.

vaut le détour, plus central et facile d'accès qu'Arthur's seat, la vue d'en haut est impressionnante sur toute la ville et les environs

Si vous n'avez que peu de temps (et si vous en avez beaucoup d'ailleurs) et qu'il fait beau, indispensable pour avoir une vue panoramique sur toute la ville (old et new town), jusqu'à la mer ! Situé tout proche du centre ville, la montée de la colline se fait très rapidement, et les couchers de soleil sont exceptionnels... Idéal pour des belles photos souvenirs d'Edimbourg !! Et surtout, l'accès est gratuit ;-)
