Calton Hill Folly, Edinburgh Tour

Calton Hill is a unique place in Edinburgh. The views from the top of this hill are as stunning as its monuments. And we recommend visiting Calton Hill both during the day and at dusk to admire the city in all its glory. Calton Hill is a hill to the east of the New Town in Edinburgh, at the bottom of Princes Street. On the hilltop are several monuments, which give it the name of “Athens of the North”.
