Edinburgh Outdoors podcast: ‘Discovering Calton Hill and the Conservation Trust’

By Admin on 28 January 202528 January 2025

Angela Casey of the Edinburgh Outdoors has devoted one of her podcasts to the Conservation Trust. It was recorded on 21 November 2024.

Angela introduces the podcast by explaining:

“Calton Hill Conservation Trust is a relatively new team of volunteers who are preserving and enhancing the historic Calton Hill right in the middle of the city. Set above Princes Street with stunning views in all directions, Calton Hill is a popular spot for visitors to escape the streets and see what it is that makes Edinburgh such a stunning location. With views to the local hills, to Fife across the water and to the mountains in the North West, no wonder the hill attracts so many visitors. I went along to find out how the Trust was getting on and what their volunteers can expect to be involved in . . . I met Simon Holledge who chairs the Conservation Trust that has been working to tidy up the hill, repair drainage and also to understand better the wildlife of this unique and special place. “
