We finished our incredible tour of Edinburgh on Carlton Hill with our final views overlooking the city. On the left is the National Monument of Scotland, a memorial to soldiers and sailors who died fighting in the Napoleonic Wars from 1803 to 1815. Construction began in 1826, but it was left unfinished in 1829 due to a lack of funds. On the right is the Nelson Monument finished in 1816 in honor of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson.
In the background on the right is the round W Edinburgh Hotel.
