EdinburghCaltonCalton was one of the extensions to the New Town of Edinburgh encircling the volcanic Calton Hill. Waterloo Place leads from Princes Street to the hill. On the southern side of the road is the Old Calton Burial Ground in which can be found a monument with a statue of Abraham Lincoln - as a memorial to the Scots who died during the American Civil Wall. Against the cemetery's eastern wall, above a sheer rock face, is the surviving part of Calton Gaol - once Edinburgh's main prison and, due to it's shape, the building many visitors arriving by train from the east believe to be Edinburgh Castle. |
