Just a short walk from Princes Street, Calton Hill is one of the best spots in Edinburgh to admire the city’s skyline. Famous for its collection of striking monuments — including the National Monument, Dugald Stewart Monument, and Nelson Monument — it feels like an open-air gallery of history and architecture.

The short climb to the top is easy and rewarding, making it perfect for all visitors. From here, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of the Old and New Towns, Arthur’s Seat, and even the Firth of Forth on a clear day. At sunrise and sunset, Calton Hill becomes a photographer’s dream, with golden light casting over Edinburgh’s rooftops and landmarks.

✨ Why visit? Calton Hill combines history, culture, and nature in one quick adventure. It’s the ideal place to take in the beauty of Edinburgh without venturing far from the city center.

📍 Tip: Bring a camera — the view of the Dugald Stewart Monument with the city behind is one of Edinburgh’s most iconic shots.
