Calton Hill

A fineliner illustration of Edinburgh from Calton Hill, one of the city’s most iconic viewpoints. Hand-drawn by artist, Josua Hattingh, available as a gallery-quality giclée print.

The Story

This drawing captures the sweeping view from Calton Hill, long regarded as one of the best vantage points in Edinburgh. From here, the city unfolds in layers: the Balmoral Clocktower, the spires of the Scott Monument, and the commanding presence of Edinburgh Castle rising over the skyline.

The composition reflects what makes the city unique — its blend of historic stone, dramatic topography, and architectural grandeur. With its winding streets, clustered rooftops, and landmarks set against the surrounding landscape, this view has inspired artists for centuries. For Josua, it was the perfect way to celebrate Edinburgh’s character: a city both rooted in history and alive with atmosphere.
