Calton Hill Review

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.

I highly recommend to visit it on a sunny day because the view from the top of it is breathtaking

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