Calton Hill is known for myths, legends, and failures! Come with me, David, as we explore this beautiful hill with a dark backstory. Hear about the fairies that are said to dwell on this hill, how it was cursed by the witches, and the monuments that are known as "the three shames of Edinburgh". Along the way, I'll give you my own take on what I believe occurred during these dark times.
