Calton Hill, Edinburgh【4K】| Scotland Landmark Walk 2021

Join me for a walk around the top of one of Edinburgh's most iconic peaks, the legendary Calton Hill! Just a short stroll from the heart of the city, Calton Hill offers spectacular views over Edinburgh, all the while telling its own story through its collection of grand landmarks built over the last 200 years!

On our walk around Calton Hill, we pass a number of interesting landmarks, including the Dugald Stewart Memorial, the Nelson Monument, the City Observatory, the National Monument, Arthur's Seat, the Firth of Forth, the Port of Leith, and the city of Edinburgh.
