Calton Hill, Edinburgh Overview

Situated on the east end of Princes Street, Calton Hill in Edinburgh is included in the city's UNESCO world heritage site. The National Monument of Scotland and the city observatory, which is a Greek Styled temple, are located on top of the hill.

One of the main hills of Edinburgh is the Calton Hill which is situated just in the city centre. The best part is the panoramic views that can be got from the Calton Hill.
