Calton Hill is an all-too-often-missed tourist attraction located just a few hundred feet from the hustle and bustle of Princes Street, where a collection of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks are clumped together on one of the most remarkable viewpoints in the city. This hill is actually part of the UNESCO world heritage status that’s been awarded to Edinburgh – which is hardly surprising considering the amount of history that’s sited on it. If you walk east from the city centre you’ll be guided by tourist information signs that will direct you up the short walk to the top of the hill. You can take in some truly breath-taking views from up there, from the rising faces of Salisbury Crags in the south to the busy streets of the city centre in the west, and Edinburgh Castle clearly visible against the skyline in the distance. Further back on the far-reaching horizon lie the gently rolling slopes of the Pentland Hills, while in the opposite direction the rolling waves of the Firth of Forth can be seen.
