Calton Hill

[Edinburgh City at a Glance] In Scotland in winter, Edinburgh has short days, so it gets dark by 4 p.m. That’s why I recommend going up to Calton Hill around 3 p.m. to enjoy the ever-changing view of Edinburgh’s city center! You know that watching the sunset is a must, right?🧡 The view of the sea behind the clock tower is so pretty, so be sure to take a leisurely stroll around the back. Come to think of it, I went up to Calton Hill every day while I was in Edinburgh. Haha! And I went up early and enjoyed the sunset and night view while eating pizza I got from the Christmas market.🍕 It would be good to bring a warm drink and some light food with you.! 🥶 By the way, it’s really cold and windy, so I recommend wearing a hat, scarf, gloves, and other warm clothing!! ⭐️ In the next post, I'll show you a timelapse of the view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill!! #EdinburghTravel #ScotlandTravel #EnglandTravel #EuropeTravel #Edinburgh #Scotland #England #CaltonHill #edinburgh #scotland #caltonhill #LifeShotPlace#YearEndTravel#WinterTravel
