National monument. Calton hill

We spent a great day on our tour of Edinburgh today. We jumped on the city sightseeing bus which is a brilliant way to see any city. Then went up to the castle for a look around. Fantastic. What a beautiful city our capital is.

I copied this from Wikipedia:

The National Monument of Scotland, on Calton Hill in Edinburgh, is Scotland's national memorial to the Scottish soldiers and sailors who died fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. It was intended, according to the inscription, to be "A Memorial of the Past and Incentive to the Future Heroism of the Men of Scotland".
