NELSON MONUMENT
Lots of people know Calton Hill, but the Nelson Monument is there and it’s often overlooked.
It costs a fiver, but any selfrespecting Edinburgh resident will confirm that you’re paying for the best view of the city. This year is its 200th anniversary and there’s an exhibition to celebrate.
There are 143 steps to climb to the top. Yes, your legs will ache but, trust us, it’s worth it.
