Hiking Calton Hill and enjoying the panorama of Edinburgh

Many places in Edinburgh are world famous. Take Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. But another place that is famous - and for all the right reasons - is Calton Hill. Calton Hill, located near Leith Walk, gives incredible panoramic views across the city of Edinburgh. You can get awesome vistas of Edinburgh Castle - and see its incredible structure atop an extinct volcano! You can also see Arthur’s seat, the hill/mountain that has become a past time for many a tourist to hike and then take some time at the top relaxing and enjoying the panoramic views around them. In recent times, this has also become famous for its use in the film and later, TV series called ‘One day’. Make sure you take plenty of photos from this vantage point. The monuments and structures make for a pretty photograph and no doubt, you’ll want to take plenty of selfies! #edinburgh #scotland #uk #gb #caltonhill #travel #holiday #vacation

[Edinburgh City at a Glance] In Scotland in winter, Edinburgh has short days, so it gets dark by 4 p.m. That’s why I recommend going up to Calton Hill around 3 p.m. to enjoy the ever-changing view of Edinburgh’s city center! You know that watching the sunset is a must, right?🧡 The view of the sea behind the clock tower is so pretty, so be sure to take a leisurely stroll around the back. Come to think of it, I went up to Calton Hill every day while I was in Edinburgh. Haha! And I went up early and enjoyed the sunset and night view while eating pizza I got from the Christmas market.🍕 It would be good to bring a warm drink and some light food with you.! 🥶 By the way, it’s really cold and windy, so I recommend wearing a hat, scarf, gloves, and other warm clothing!! ⭐️ In the next post, I'll show you a timelapse of the view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill!! #EdinburghTravel #ScotlandTravel #EnglandTravel #EuropeTravel #Edinburgh #Scotland #England #CaltonHill #edinburgh #scotland #caltonhill #LifeShotPlace#YearEndTravel#WinterTravel
