Edinburgh Hill is a narrow point projecting 650 m from the east coast of Varna Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica into McFarlane Strait and ending up in a conspicuous rocky hill of elevation 180 m whose bottom half is composed of basalt columns. The point forms the northwest side of the entrance to Moon Bay. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers.
