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.
The advantage of cities with hills is that those hills often offer good and obvious opportunities to look out over the city. In Edinburgh, Calton Hill is just such a hill, with the added advantage that it also has several sights on its back to deserve a visit. From the Old Town, you can already see several monuments on top of the hill. The most obvious is the stone tower: Nelson Monument. After his death in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 a simple mast standing here was replaced by this building which has a resemblance of a giant spyglass, and which can be seen from the Firth of Forth. Halfway the 19th century, a time signal was installed, permitting captains of ships to synchronize their chronometers.
