National Monument of Scotland

Edinburgh

About this place

The National Monument of Scotland lies on Calton Hill, overlooking the city. The monument was designed to commemorate Scottish soldiers who fought in the Napoleonic Wars, but was never completed. The monument has stood since 1829 and is a popular tourist attraction. Locals have mixed feelings about the monument as it remains unfinished. Nonetheless, the monument showcases stunning architecture and breath taking views out across the city and surrounding landscape. Hike to the top of the hill for gorgeous vistas of Arthur’s Seat, Salisbury Crags and Holyrood Park.
