Towering above the New Town of Edinburgh and overlooking the Old Town, Calton Hill deserves a visit mainly because of the views, but also several monuments.
Close to Nelson Monument is the so-called Acropolis, the National Monument modelled after the Parthenon in Athens, with which it is better not even to compare it with. In fact, the building was unfinished for the banal reason that funds dried up, and has been called Edinburgh's disgrace or Edinburgh's shame. Even so, it has become part of Calton Hill, and attracts a lot of visitors, probably not least because bagpipers come here to play.
