Calton Hill, Edinburgh

Calton Hill is included in Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is certainly not a difficult hike compared to Arthur’s Seat, but do come here to admire the city’s view. It is not merely a viewpoint, but also the seat to some of the iconic Scottish monuments such as the National Monument, Dugald Stewart Monument, Nelson’s Monument, Robert Burns Monument and the City Observatory. The National Monument is the national memorial to the Scottish soldiers and sailors that died fighting in the Napoleonic Wars and it certainly resembles the famous Parthenon of Athens. If you are interested, do research more about it and you will be fascinated. #ediinsider #scotland

Calton Hill

[Edinburgh City at a Glance] In Scotland in winter, Edinburgh has short days, so it gets dark by 4 p.m. That’s why I recommend going up to Calton Hill around 3 p.m. to enjoy the ever-changing view of Edinburgh’s city center! You know that watching the sunset is a must, right?🧡 The view of the sea behind the clock tower is so pretty, so be sure to take a leisurely stroll around the back. Come to think of it, I went up to Calton Hill every day while I was in Edinburgh. Haha! And I went up early and enjoyed the sunset and night view while eating pizza I got from the Christmas market.🍕 It would be good to bring a warm drink and some light food with you.! 🥶 By the way, it’s really cold and windy, so I recommend wearing a hat, scarf, gloves, and other warm clothing!! ⭐️ In the next post, I'll show you a timelapse of the view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill!! #EdinburghTravel #ScotlandTravel #EnglandTravel #EuropeTravel #Edinburgh #Scotland #England #CaltonHill #edinburgh #scotland #caltonhill #LifeShotPlace#YearEndTravel#WinterTravel
