Calton Hill

Calton Hill

A day out with Highland Private Tours wouldn’t be complete without taking in the panoramic beauty of Calton Hill. We’ll take a relaxed wander together up this iconic vantage point, where sweeping views stretch across the Edinburgh skyline, Arthur’s Seat, the Firth of Forth and the historic Old Town.

Home to the National Monument, the Nelson Monument and a collection of striking neoclassical buildings, Calton Hill is one of the most photographed spots in the city. It’s an easy, enjoyable climb and a wonderful place to pause, take memorable photos and hear a few of the stories that make this hill such an important part of Edinburgh’s character.
