Now you see, I wouldn't have thought of that. Dunks, so as not to waste bikerjambo's time (I would feel really guilty if so ), are the tools railway-related?

Not according to maps and pictures, the recognised Calton Hill is across Watrerloo place from ST. Andrews House. St, Andrews House is not regarded as being on Calton Hill.
