A Church dedicated to St Andrew was established, probably as early as the 9th century, and three centuries later the simple Norman church was began. The Scots Parliament decreed a transfer to Dirleton in 1612, partly because the old church was being “continually over blown with sand” and partly because its location had become inconvenient as most of the parishioners at that time lived in Dirleton. Growth of Gullane as a holiday and golfing resort during the 19th century led to the building of St Peter’s Church, now disused, Gullane Parish Church and St Adrian’s Scottish Episcopal Church.

Grassmarket West Bow West Port Cowgate Greyfriars Kirk Meadows | Bruntsfield Links Edinburgh City Wall Edinburgh Old Town The original Old Town of Edinburgh was surrounded by a wall, The Kings wall which was constructed in 1450. A larger and more significant wall was built in 1513 after the battle of Flodden in Northumberland, where the Scot's army were heavily defeated. It was decided by the city council that to defend the city a wall be erected to stop the English from invading and taking control of the city. The wall completed by 1560 with an extension in 1630. The King's Bridge can be found over King's Stables Road. The wall was built from Edinburgh Castle wall down to and over the Grassmarket up to the high ground in line with Grayfriars Kirk crossing at the Bristo Gate following South College Street to protect the University of Edinburgh, continuing down Drummond Street to protect the area known as Kirk 'O' Fields, then turning north towards St Mary's Wynd and on to the Trinity Church that stood at the side of the Nor Loch. The Nor Loch was to the north side of the castle and city, where Princes Street and Princes Street Gardens are today. It stretched between the 2 churches St Cuthberts R.C. in the west and The Trinity Church in the east. A further wall was built to protect George Heriot's Hospital (school) The Taillefer wall in 1630 named after the designer. Next - Chambers Street

- Calton Hill Attractions | Sightseeing | All About Edinburgh
Edinburgh New Town, Calton Hill and Waterloo Place are mixture of old and new town with many attractions on the Calton Hill, and Old Calton Burial Ground on Waterloo Place. Calton Hill CALTON HILL EDINBURGH Climb the steps and short path to the top of Calton Hill from Waterloo Place and you will see views of Scotland for up to 100 miles on a clear day. To the east, west and north you can see the River Forth and the famous red Forth Rail Bridge and the many islands in the Firth of Forth. This includes the Bass Rock, named by David Attenborough as 'one of the 12 wildlife wonders of the world'. To the east Berwick Law, a 613-foot (187 m) volcanic hill (which is worth a climb).Looking over to Arthur Seat and Salisbury Crags below you can see Holyrood Abbey, Holyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament Building and Our Dynamic Earth. Just over the road you can see the memorial to Robert Burns and an enormous obelisk which remembers the political martyrs of 1793, who were banished for sedition and lived the remainder of their lives in Australia. The Nelson Monument (built in 1807) in the form of an upturned telescope can be climbed by the 143 spiral stairs to the top. It is well worth the climb just for the view. Edinburgh’s National Monument referred to as "The Athens of the North" (a replica of the Parthenon), the unfinished monument is to commemorate victims of the Napoleonic Wars. The project was started in 1826 and, as you can see, is still not finished. TIME BALL. NELSON’S MONUMENT GOTHIC HOUSE NATIONAL MONUMENT MARTYR’S OBELISK.

Rock House Calton Hill Rock House was originally built circa 1750, Rock House was where David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson circa 1840 had an art and photographic studio and were the first to be recognised for photography as an art form.

On the barrel can be seen the Spanish Royal Coat of Arms. In 1886 it was presented to Edinburgh and has stood on Calton Hill since 1887. The National Monument Calton Hill Edinburgh Attraction The National Monument was modelled upon the Parthenon in Athens one of the reasons that Edinburgh is known as the Athens of the North. Construction started in 1826 and, due to the lack of funds, was left unfinished. The monument has the nickname of, "Edinburgh's Disgrace", another reason Edinburgh is known as the Athens of the North is that the buildings of the new town were built of white sand stone which resembled marble National Monument DUGALD STEWART FRSE FRS CALTON HILL Dugald Stewart (1753 – 1828) Dugald Stewart was a Scottish Enlightenment Philosopher and mathematician. Born in Edinburgh in 1753, educated at the Royal High School, Edinburgh University and Oxford University. He died in 1828 at home in The Lothian Hut.

NELSON MONUMENT Calton Hill Edinburgh Attraction The Nelson Monument is dedicated to Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson who died at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The foundation stone was laid on 21 October 1807 and the monument was completed in 1816. The monument is shaped like an upside down telescope. It is linked with the One O’clock Gun at Edinburgh Castle. The ball on the mast rises every day at 5 minutes before 1p.m. (13.00hrs) not on Sunday. Nelson Monument THE TIME BALL CALTON HILL EDINBURGH Professor Charles Piazzi Smyth, the second Astronomer Royal for Scotland was first to have the idea of the time ball. He had it installed on a mast on Nelson Monument in 1853. The Time Ball on the mast of Nelson’s monument was originally a visual aid for the sailors in the Leith port and the Firth of Forth to set their chronometers by. Later due to the regular bad weather in Edinburgh it was decided that an audio aid would also be required and the Time Ball was attached to a steel cable over 4000 feet long and 240 feet in the air in 1861, which was attached to a clock in the Edinburgh Castle which set the gun to fire from the half-moon battery, is still synchronised with the One O’clock Gun to this day. The ball will rise up the mast just before 13.00 hours and at one o’clock will return to the foot and the gun on the castle ramparts will be fired. Frederick James Ritchie clock maker of the One O’clock Gun stayed at 6 Brunton Place at the foot of the Calton Hill for 40 years. Inscriptions: Above main door on the Stone tablet reads: TO THE MEMORY OF VICE ADMIRAL HORATIO LORD VISCOUNT NELSON, AND OF THE GREAT VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR | TOO DEARLY PURCHASED WITH HIS BLOOD | THE GRATEFUL CITIZENS OF EDINBURGH HAVE ERECTED THIS MONUMENT | NOT TO EXPRESS THEIR UNAVAILING SORROW FOR HIS DEATH | NOR YET TO CELEBRATE THE MATCHLESS GLORIES OF HIS LIFE | BUT BY HIS NOBLE EXAMPLE, TO TEACH THEIR SONS | TO EMULATE WHAT THEY ADMIRE, AND, LIKE HIM | WHEN DUTY REQUIRES IT, TO DIE FOR THEIR COUNTRY. CITY OBSERVATORY Calton Hill Edinburgh Attraction The First Observatory in Edinburgh was founded in 1776 on Calton Hill by Thomas Short and was demolished in 1850 and moved to Castle Hill, the building where the Camera Obscura is now. The Gothic Tower was used for several years as the site of a new observatory before the City Observatory was built in 1818.
