An awful lot of strangeness, good and bad, goes on at Calton Hill. The hill, which appears to be more of a hillock if approached from the popular Princess Street end, could easily be dismissed as nothing much.

Advantages: Free. Wonderful views of Edinburgh. Disadvantages: I wouldn't go at night. If you're an unfit American then you'll never get to the top.
...and bad, goes on at Calton Hill. The hill, which appears to be more of a hillock if approached from the popular Princess Street end, could easily be dismissed as nothing much. Calton Hill is covered in liberal scattering of moments and home to some of the more colour activities of Edinburgh residents and visitors.
> Burns’ Memorial
I’ve started with this because I feel it is both one of the most attractive architectural sites in Edinburgh ... ...line from one side of Calton Hill then you could be forgiven for thinking (just for a second - before the cold hits you) that you’re in ancient Greece. Work began on the Monument in 1816, a year after the battle of Waterloo, as a memorial for all those who had lost their lives in the Napoleonic Wars. The architect, Playfair again, had initially designed the monument to be a copy of the Parthenon of Athens but the cash to finish the building ...

Advantages: You can reach any corner of Edinburgh within half hour of bus ride. Disadvantages: Roads are not as buggy friendly as in London
...pictures, walk along the south side of Princes Street, the one with the gardens, to avoid the shoppers.
Then there's CaltonHill at the heart of the city with stunning views over Princes Street, the Old Town and Edinburgh Castle. Advice: Avoid going on CaltonHill after lunchtime if you want to take pictures of Princes Street and the Castle because the sun is in front of you at that time of the day. You can see all of the Edinburgh Centre from CaltonHill: North Bridge, Old Town, the Hub, Ramsay Gardens, Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street, and further to the right, St Andrew's Square
Edinburgh Castle: I was amazed to hear that Edinburgh castle is built on extinct volcano.Few visitor destinations around the world can pride themselves with such an amazing historical attraction at the heart of the very compact Edinburgh City Centre but even fewer...

...Very shortly 'Warner Village Cinemas' will disappear as the company changes its name to Vue. If anyone can explain this name change to me please do! I am at a loss to explain it and neither could any of the staff the other day.
"Dunno mate” said one fellow as he was ladling popcorn into a tub,
"It says like Vue on all the popcorn tubs an that, used to say Warner village". Ah right, I mumbled, hurrying to join my companion.
A bit of background
The Warner Village cinema in Edinburgh is housed in the Omni complex - a vast glass fronted centre opened a couple of years ago to block out the citizens view of CaltonHill. Caltonhill is of course beautiful with a half finished model of the Parathion (also known as Edinburgh's disgrace) on the top.
Instead, from ground level, we see the Omni centre - a collection of chain bars (Lloyds...

...with my plan on the condition that I would buy him a curry in Edinburgh) accompanied me to Stirling's Tourist Information Office where we proposed to enquire about rooms in Edinburgh. To cut a long story short we ended up with a booking at the Adria Hotel. Armed with a print-out from the officious assistant we set off for Auld Reekie.
The Adria Hotel commands an excellent position on Royal Terrace which makes it convenient for the Edinburgh Playhouse, the Omni Complex, Easter Road Stadium (home of Hibs) and CaltonHill - my favourite spot in the city with wonderful views over to Leith where the Royal Yacht Britannia is now docked. It's a five minute walk down to Princes Street and both Waverley train station and St. Andrews coach station. There is a wealth of restaurants, pubs, bars, cafes and clubs nearby although Royal Terrace itself...
