This is a hill with a view. On a clear day you will be able to see all over the Edinburgh-land and beyond. You can imagine being transported in time looking at the observatory and the columns of the unfinished monument. \n\nIn the summer you will have unobstructed sunshine on the days that the sun is out. And if you are into your photography the sunrises and sunsets from this heightened view point are ah-mazing. \n\nThe Carlton Hill is used as a venue for many art and performances - most famous is the Beltane Festival on 30 April. (the Winter spring Equinox)\n\nOn New Year's Eve / Hogmany this is one of the 7 hills that will display fireworks. \n\nhopefully they will not change this hill and its access, as it is a blessing for the residents as not many tourists tend to venture up this hill - since there is loads of other stuff for them to do.\n\nI like it here and it is mostly a very nice place to have a quiet walk and be out of the busy City that is just meters away.
