Message from Kieran - Exploring Scotland

Calton Hill, located in central Edinburgh, Scotland, is a picturesque spot known for its stunning views of the city. It's home to various monuments and buildings like the National Monument and the Nelson Monument. The hill has a rich history, with ties to ancient hillforts and former monasteries. Visitors can stroll through the Old Calton Burial Ground, where philosopher David Hume is buried, or admire the elegant terraces designed by architect William Henry Playfair. With its mix of history, architecture, and panoramic vistas, Calton Hill is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Edinburgh.
