The Dugald Stewart Monument is a memorial to the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart. It is situated on Calton Hill overlooking the city of Edinburgh and was designed by Scottish architect William Henry Playfair.

Looking over the town of Edinburgh, this view is one of the most-iconic you'll find in lovely Edinburgh. Read more at www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/calton-hill-and-national-monument-p1419631!

This image shows the Dugald Stewart Monument, which is a memorial to the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart (1753–1828). It is situated on Calton Hill overlooking the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. The monument features a circular temple design, styled in a Neoclassical manner, based on the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. This setting offers a panoramic view over the city, encompassing both its historic and more modern parts, nestled amid the natural landscapes surrounding it. The monument and its location are popular for providing one of the iconic vistas of Edinburgh, blending cultural heritage and natural beauty.

The Royal Mile runs between two significant locations in the royal history of Scotland: Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace. The name derives from it being the traditional processional route of monarchs, with a total length of approximately one Scots mile, a now obsolete measurement measuring 1.81km and definitely worth a visit!

This image captures a bustling street scene in what appears to be Edinburgh, Scotland. The architecture and the visible landmarks, such as the distinctive tower on the left resembling the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, and the historic Gothic spire of the Hub on the right which is a key part of the city's skyline, suggest it's taken on or near the Royal Mile. This location is famous for its historical and cultural significance in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town.

The street is paved with cobblestones and lined with traditional, multi-story stone buildings displaying a variety of flags. In the foreground, numerous tourists and locals are seen walking and perhaps shopping or exploring the area. The weather is sunny, casting sharp shadows and contributing to the vivid atmosphere of what looks like a busy day in the city.

Edinburg contains many gems and whether being a Christian or not, the flair of churches and relicts always has a certain attraction. Around the Scottish Episcopal Church at Prince Street I found this Celtic cross reminding on past times where these symbols were more frequent, hailing from the ancient ones and times hundreds of years ago.

This image shows an ornate stone Celtic cross gravestone. The cross features intricate knotwork designs, a common motif in Celtic art, emphasizing circular forms and interlacing patterns. The inscription on the gravestone commemorates individuals named Ronald S.F. Colt and Jean Cardin F.H. Colt. It mentions that Ronald S.F. Colt died on 22 May 1936 and was interred at the location of the gravestone. Jean died on 10 May 1938 at the age of 71 years. The stone cross stands before a wall covered with some ivy and is surrounded by verdant vegetation, likely located in a serene cemetery setting.
