A short, steep climb to Edinburgh's open-air acropolis. Start among the radicals in Old Calton Burial Ground with Lincoln's Scottish-American memorial, then take in the Burns Monument before the summit set pieces: Dugald Stewart's rotunda, the Nelson Monument and the famously unfinished National Monument — with the best panorama in the city thrown in.
