The Scottish government’s commitment to preserving both cultural and natural heritage has created an environment that resonates with artistic expression, inspiring musicians and artists worldwide. As a result, Jay Chou’s fans have developed a deep appreciation for Edinburgh. Beyond its contemporary cultural influence, Calton Hill holds significant historical value as part of Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage designation. Its landmarks, such as the National Monument and Nelson Monument, embody Scotland’s Enlightenment ideals and commemorate influential historical figures, solidifying its importance as an architectural and intellectual heritage site. Calton Hill, located in the eastern part of Edinburgh, is often referred to as the “Athens of the North.” Its monuments and ruins honor prominent figures of the Scottish Enlightenment and the Napoleonic Wars. Digital technology has documented Calton Hill’s unique landscape, including its historic cemetery and urban prison, generating widespread interest among Scottish intellectuals (McKee, 2015). Preserving the natural and cultural landscape of Calton Hill contributes to global sustainability efforts, ensuring a balanced coexistence between economic growth and environmental protection.
