Calton Hill

Lovely place with a great 360 view on the city of Edinburgh down below. From one side you can see the Edinburgh castle and the Balmoral hotel, then if you keep turning on the left you can admire Arthur Seat in all of its glory. And you can spot the sea behind it.If you keep turning you can see up to Leith, the shore and then the all Firth of Forth.On sunny days you can see the isle of Inchkeith.And you can even spot the other side of the Forth Bridges.I would definitely suggest to come during the day and a second time to watch the sun set behind the castle.If you come on the 30 of April (with a ticket) you can witness the Beltane Fire Festival. A pagan celebration of the death of winter and the coming of spring/summer

Walk east along Princes Street to the end and you will reach the lush Carlton Hill. Standing on the top of the hill, Edinburgh Castle stands out, guarding the quiet town, the scenery is very beautiful. Looking east, you can see the blue Atlantic Ocean and the white sails on Forth Bay. When the wind is beautiful, locals can always be seen coming to Carlton Hill in groups, picnicking and sunbathing on the lawn.

Walk east along Princes Street to the end, and you will come to the lush Carlton Mountain, standing west of the top of the mountain, Edinburgh Castle stands, guarding the quiet town, the scenery is very good, Jay Chou mv.

Although it was windy but the view from up there was amazing. Worth to visit

Edinburgh Carlton Hill goes east along Princes Street to the end, and comes to the lush Carlton Hill. Standing on the top of the hill, Edinburgh Castle stands tall, guarding the quiet town, and the scenery is very beautiful. Looking east, you can see the blue Atlantic Ocean and the white sails on Forth Bay. When the wind is beautiful, locals can always come to Carlton Mountain in droves, picnicking and sunbathing on the lawn. There are two monuments on Carlton Hill, a national monument built in 1822 to commemorate the deaths of the Napoleonic Wars. But the monument is not complete, with only a row of huge columns supporting the beams. Works are said to have been interrupted by budget overdrafts. Another is the Nelson Monument, built in honor of Admiral Nelson. Every day at 1pm, when the guns are fired, the small ball at the spire of the Nelson Monument falls. There is also a striking dome building on Carlton Hill, the Edinburgh City Observatory.
