Calton Hill, alongside Arthur's Seat and the Crags, is an absolute must on a rare sunny day in our beautiful city.  Located just east of Princes Street, it offers an ideal location for a bit of gentle strolling amongst pleasant surroundings away from the bustle of the city centre.  \n\nOnce you have ascended the stairs, you are welcomed with a variety of different monuments that are all notably unique in design and character. The information boards around the site offer interesting back stories without going in to too much detail, keeping the lay person engaged.  There is even a small treasure hunt activity on the central information board to keep the children amused (which I must admit I had great fun in completing).  There is also foot paths offering walks with beautiful views of both the Forth and of the city centre. \n\nAll in all, a site worthy of a visit whether you're a visitor or a resident due to the tranquillity and the beautiful views.
