Walk up the short path from Princes Street to the monuments on Calton Hill and watch the sun go down over the Old Town.

Why it's a good date: The classic Edinburgh view for very little effort: the castle, the Balmoral clock and Arthur's Seat all in one frame. Bring a flask and go on a clear evening. Dogs are welcome on the hill, kept under close control.
