Views are amazing here! Come during sunset and be amazed as the city of Edinburgh is slowly bathed in hues of gold. There are different viewpoints all around, so... explore!
It's a tiny trek uphill but the views are stunning. Bring a picnic and your sweetie and sit down by "Athens Unfinished"
Breathtaking panoramic view of the city !! Not to miss while in Edinburgh ..
The walk to the top is very easy. They have stairs and barely takes 10 minutes. You can get a good view of Edinburgh from one side and sea on the other. It’s free so make sure to visit.
Mere minutes from the centre of the city with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere to breathe it all in. You can see almost from edge to edge. Relatively easy climb with stairs.
The view of the city from up here is great. It's a steep walk up the shortest path, but well worth it.
Hill was rendered "Cragge Ingalt" on a 1560 map, possibly meaning "the place of the groves". Then named "Caldtoun" in 1591, "Caltonhill" in 1725 & "Calton" between 1780 & 1804. Source: Wikipedia
