Sorted by distance from the start of calton hill: the monuments and the view. Good for stitching together a longer day.

Canongate Kirk, Miralles' Parliament, Dynamic Earth, and the green wall of Arthur's Seat.

James Craig's grid, the cross-streets dropping to the Forth, and a square at each end.

The garden in a drained loch, the Scott Monument, the Ross Fountain, and the galleries on the Mound.

The steep alleys the Royal Mile hides — Advocate's Close, Riddle's Court, the vennels to the Cowgate.
