Calton Hill Conservation Trust

Who Owns Calton Hill? Well, you do! It’s Common Good — the property of the people of Edinburgh that pre-dates the City of Edinburgh Council.

By Simon on 18 April 202418 April 2024

Since 2023 Common Good assets have been mapped by the Common Good Project, started by The Ferret. Calton Hill itself is number 458 on the list, the National Monument is 452, the Nelson Monument is 449, the City Observatory is 455, the Dugald Stewart Monument is 450, the Playfair Monument is 454, and last but not least, the Portuguese Cannon is 451.
