This is also the commanding heights of Edinburgh, walk along the top of the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Edinburgh. Every sunrise and sunset, many tourists come here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and they can often take beautiful photos. Walk east along Princes Street to Calton Hill. The mountain is not high, and you can walk up slowly, with lush scenery along the way. When the weather is nice, many locals come here to sunbathe on the lawn or have a picnic. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking westward, you can see the beauty of the whole city in front of you, and in the distance stands the magnificent Edinburgh Castle. Looking to the east, is the azure Firth of Forth. To the south are the Scottish Parliament Building and Holyrood Palace. On the top of the mountain is the National Monument, which was built to commemorate the soldiers who died in the Napoleonic Wars. But it's not finished, and now you can only see a row of huge pillars supporting the beams, which you can climb, but with some difficulty. Next to it is Nelson's Monument, where the small ball at the top of the tower descends every day at 1 pm Edinburgh Castle fires. Nearby you can see the Dugald Stewart Memorial Pavilion (Dugald Stewart's Monument), which is beautifully shaped by several stone pillars with a dome.

Calton Hill Edinburge is another tourist attraction that when visiting Edinburge, you must walk up the hill comfortably and chill. And can see Edinburge Castle from above
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.
Carlton Mountain, I went at 6 o'clock in the morning, in order to watch the sunrise, the scenery on the mountain is good, the air is also very good, recommended
Zhou Dongmv punch card, very recommended to come with family and friends, the scenery is very open, come over and punch card!
Although it was windy but the view from up there was amazing. Worth to visit
Britain is really dark early, and it is night when it climbs to Carlton Mountain. But it also makes the stone pillars look more ancient and solemn. It is not far from the center of Edinburgh. The mountain is not high. It can overlook the beautiful scenery of the city and can also see the aurora.
The scenery is beautiful and the mountain is not high. Climb for ten minutes and climb to the top. Zhou Dong mv punches in, suitable for coming with family and friends!
