Dugald Stewart Monument, Edinburgh : Architecture
Dugald Stewart Monument, 1831, Playfair: modelled on Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece by Lysicrates. One of the key structures on Calton Hill that help earn Edinburgh the sobriquet 'Athens of the North'. The Dugald Stewart Monument forms a superb vantage point for the city and features on many postcards, calendars, etc. images © Adrian Welch Edinburgh Monument modelled on the Tower of the Winds Sitting on the high plinth (requires a jump or leg up) looking down Princes St to St Mary's Cathedral the Dugald Stewart Monument is my favourite place in Edinburgh - the view is the stuff of legend. photos © Adrian Welch Scottish Architecture: best Scottish Buildings of the last three decades Modern Houses Scottish Architects of the past Scottish Housing Nelsons Monument National Monument Edinburgh Walking Tours Edinburgh : back to index Comments / photos for the Dugald Stewart Monument Edinburgh Architecture page welcome: info@edinburgharchitecture.co.uk Dugald Stewart Monument Building : page - adrian welch / isabelle lomholt
