Historical tower in honor of Admiral Nelson - great to stop by on your visit to Calton Hill.
The Nelson Monument is a recognizable part of the structures atop Calton Hill. This monument has particular significance as it has a time ball to signify time to ships in Leith Harbor.
Situated on the top of Calton Hill, there is nothing that sets this monument apart that makes it worthy a visit on its own accord but as part of the sculptures and structures sitting atop the hill it makes for great vistas and puts in context the history of the city.
To commemorate an ancient scientist, and the building is in the middle of the mountain.
来到苏格兰的爱丁堡，肯定要爬上卡顿山，这原是一座古老火山的部分，现在威尔逊纪念碑，苏格兰哲学家纪念亭还有山下一片爱丁堡城景。其中纳尔逊纪念碑造型犹如一尊大炮竖插在山顶，它为了纪念在战争中击败法国和西班牙军队而本人却不幸在战争中牺牲的海军中将霍雷肖•纳尔逊。纪念碑是可以攀登上去的，一人需要5英镑，楼梯很窄很陡，还好只有2到3层楼高，上面的风景非常美丽，既可以看到王子街的街景，还有远处的海岸线，很值得。
