Park

Message from Tartan Viking

Calton Hill is an old park in sovereign Edinburgh, Scotland. An astonishing hill sitting admirably in the core of the city, it has been made memorable by different structures and landmarks that guests seek after. Going from monuments related with popular verifiable figures, for example, Thomas Nelson and Robert Burns to philosophical works of art, for example, the "National Monument," which imitates the Parthenon, the Calton Hill offers guests a history lesson as much as a delightful get-away experience. Guests can likewise climb the old pathway to arrive at the slope's highest point, where they will be honored with all encompassing perspectives that encompass everything from the verdant green region of the Pentland Hills to the moving sea waves.
