This colossus overlooking the hill was completed in 1815 to celebrate the victory of Trafalgar by the famous Admiral Nelson ten years earlier. In 1853, a huge sphere was installed on top of the Nelson Monument. Every day, at 1pm, she is hoisted up a mast and then released to give the time to the sailors of Leith. In its tiny museum, this story is told alongside some documents on the legendary naval battle that defeated Napoleon. At the top, the view is pleasant, but not much different from Calton Hill.

Pour monter en haut du Nelson's Monument, situé sur Calton Hill.
Le but étant d'avoir une superbe vue sur toute la ville.
Sauf que c'est payant, assez cher, et qu'on a la même vue gratuitement depuis Calton Hill sans monter en haut du monument, donc globalement pas grand intérêt...
