This monument, although begun in 1822 was never finished. It was to have been an imitation of the Parthenon and now remains an unfinished but authentic part of Edinburgh's skyline.
Classical style Scottish National monument. Looks like Parthenon in Athens. This monument is in fact the unfinished memorial to those who lost their lives in Napoleonic wars. Great spot for photography and selfies.

This cannon was captured in the Burmese war and was presented to the city of Edinburgh by the Burmese government in 1886 when Burma was added to the Indian Empire. This brass cannon has traveled all over the world.
