Calton Hill
Greenside · 0.6 miles
Offering extensive panoramas of Edinburgh, Calton Hill stands just beyond the east end of Princes Street and forms part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage area. The elevated ground hosts a collection of prominent structures, including the National Monument, the Nelson and Dugald Stewart monuments, the former Royal High School, and memorials to Robert Burns, the Political Martyrs and other historic figures. The southern slope accommodates St Andrew’s House, the headquarters of the Scottish Government, while the Scottish Parliament Building and Holyrood Palace lie close to the hill’s base. The site is identified on OpenStreetMap as a park, with Greenside recorded as the nearest settlement. The hill’s name appears in a 1456 charter as “Cragingalt”, suggesting an origin linked to a crag or a small wood. Archaeological hints point to a possible prehistoric hill-fort and historic quarrying activity on the eastern side. In the mid-15th century James II granted the surrounding low ground for tournaments and archery practice, and the area later served as an open-air theatre venue. A Carmelite monastery was established at Greenside in 1518, later converted into a leper hospital after the Reformation. Ownership passed from the Logan family to the Elphinstone barony, and the western portion was sold to Edinburgh in 1725, with the eastern side retained by Heriot’s Trust. Calton remained a burgh of barony until its formal incorporation into the city under the 1856 Municipality Extension Act.
