Description
The observatory was transferred to Blackford Hill to escape the polluted air of Calton Hill. The welcoming centre (east Tower) demonstrates to the public the history of the current observatory and how a modern the observatory works. Good panoramic view over Edinburgh from the west tower terrace.
