Message from Ian G Black

Jacob's Ladder in Edinburgh, Scotland is a hidden gem that connects the Old Town with Calton Hill. This historic pathway, dating back to the 18th century, offers a shortcut for locals and tourists alike. With 140 steps to climb, it's a great way to get some exercise while enjoying stunning views of the city. Plus, it's got a cool backstory inspired by the biblical tale of Jacob and his dreamy ladder to heaven. So, if you're up for a little adventure and a dose of history, Jacob's Ladder is the place to be!
