3. **Calton Hill** (5m) - has wonderful views of Edinburgh and is the location of the Royal Observatory alongside monuments which will be discussed on the tour.
4. **Palace of Holyroodhouse** (pass by, no stop) - The Queen spends one week at the Palace every year, come and see the beautiful architecture.
