Itinerary
Let's go for a walk around Calton Hill. Edinburgh is built on 7 hills just like Rome and each give a great vantage point we can see great views of the city and it's surroundings. On top of the hill are many monuments and buildings. This is part of the UNESCO city heritage the Edinburgh became in 1995.
This includes two observatories, the Nelson Monument tower and Scotland's National Monument. Originally meant to be a copy of the Parthenon, but they ran out of money and not complete it. It is known as the disgrace of Edinburgh! The buildings are a great tribute to Edinburgh's Georgian architecture and Scottish Enlightenment.
Join us for views, history and culture of Edinburgh and it's surroundings.
