Towering above the New Town of Edinburgh and overlooking the Old Town, Calton Hill deserves a visit mainly because of the views, but also several monuments.
Walking down Calton Hill takes you to to its foot at Waterloo Place. Crossing the street brings you to the entrance of the Old Calton Cemetery. Originally larger than it is now, because the construction of Waterloo Place cut part of the cemetery off, it has become a cosy cemetery with some famous Scotsmen. Dating from the 17th century, it became the final resting place of people like philosopher David Hume, Scottish soldiers who died in the American Civil War, sculptors, notables, and other people and families of importance to Scotland.
