Great value at 4 to get to the top of this — 143 steps gives you the best views all around Edinburgh. Good views all round — Arthurs Seat, Holyrood, The Castle, Forth Bridges, Leith and Fife and Bass Rock. Pick a clear day and you wont be disappointed. Superb — and probably better for views than Scott Monument

Yes! Go here!!! Free to enter Calton hill but to climb the monument you will have to drop £4. You get a certificate stating you climbed all of the stairs and such.
It provides an awesome view of edi.
I enjoyed this one as much as I enjoyed Scott’s Monument.
Very friendly woman at desk and the little museum at the bottom was pretty interesting giving the history of Nelsons monument. .
Go to Calton hill or watch from princes street. At 12.50−12.55p the ball raises to the top and drops at 1p. It was designed for the men on the ships to see time since it traveled faster than the speed of sound (the castle canon).
Very interesting and worth it!
Bring camera and walking shoes.

I’m going to keep this simple — if you’re in Edinburgh and done all the touristy stuff and looking for that ‘oh wow’…the x factor… that something special, then make your way to Calton Hill and get involved in the Nelson Monument. I can’t really say much more as it’s all been said before me… but wow. just wow.

Nelsons Monument rises out of Calton Hill like something out of the deep — so its safe to assume Lord Nelson would have m ost probably liked this monument himself.
The monument is spectacular — the coloumn itself is a upside down telescope (very neat!) and on top of the plinth stands Nelson himself — its more than impressive. Get right up close to it and it will take your breath away.
The views from the top must be spectacular, but as you can get up there you’ll have to make do with the views down at the bottom — but saying as you are on Calton Hill, they are still special.
Worth a visit — even if it is only just so you can say you have been there.

I feel a bit embarrassed to admit that having frequented the City of Edinburgh all of my life, never in my 23 years had I visited Nelson’s Monument, until now.
I had really been missing out, as this spectacular historic monument (built in early 1800’s to commemorate Admiral Lord Nelson’s victory and subsequent death at the Battle of Trafalgar)
The views from the top are truly spectacular, and really help you to appreciate the beauty of the city. You really can see for miles!

Nelson’s Monument, located on the top of Carlton Hill, is in honour of (you guessed it) Admiral Nelson, hence its quite clever design as an upside-​down telescope.
It was built in the early 1800 at a time of new prosperity for Edinburgh. On top of the monument is a time ball which is lowered and raised and acts as a time signal initially for the ships in Leith and in the Forth. Nowadays it is linked time wise to the One O’Clock Gun at Edinburgh castle.
I actually went to the top on a doors-​open day one year and was blown away of the 360 degree view of the City and port of Leith– definitely worth it as you can see for miles! However, even if you don’t flog all the way to the top, it’s well worth heading up Carlton Hill to see it (and it’s neighbouring monuments) and admire Edinburgh below!

If you like history, this is a must it was built between 1807 and 1815, as a tribute to Admiral Lord Nelson’s victory, and death, at the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. You need to be fit to climb 143 steps but for your trouble you will get incredible views of the city and across the Forth estuary to Fife.
Not recomended for young children as they would get bored and tired with all the steps, but if you want to soak up some history in gorgeous surroundings heres the place.
