Looking for panoramic views of Edinburgh?

Calton Hill is situated in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland and offers great views of the city. The the walk is quite easy, with roads and footpaths that are surfaced. Sunrise and sunset are both popular times to visit. The hill offers 360 degree views of the whole city which is pretty spectacular! The hill is free to enter and it is very accessible. Once you reach the summit, you can see great views of Edinburgh city and across the Loch too. There is information on the way upto the summit about the different buildings and how old they are/their original purpose. Along with Arthur’s Seat, it is claimed to have been created by volcanic activity! The hill was turned into a park in 1742 making it one of the oldest parks in Britain! #localguides #historicallandmarks
