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.

Lieu de passage obligé offrant une vue imprenable sur le centre ville avec le château perché au loin d'un côté, le rocher d'Holyrood Park de l'autre côté, puis encore la mer d'un autre côté.

In fine weather you must definitely climb on this hill. You will have a superb view on the old Edinburgh and the castle and on the other side on Holyrood Park. A 360 ° view if you add the sea view on the other side of the hill. The monuments and the canon bring a special touch to this place.

Selon moi, c'est le plus beau point de vue d’Édimbourg avec d'un côté Old Town et New Town et de l'autre Arthur seat. A voir au coucher du soleil!!

Un endroit parfait pour prendre des photos du centre d'Edimbourg et le château endroit spécial. En soi, il est très intéressant, car en cette colline se trouve l'Observatoire et Nelson Tower.
