Amazing place, a view of sea, Hollywood and prices street. Monument itself is Majestic although they could not complete it. Lovely place to spend few hours solo, with friends or with family. Must visit
Offers a stunning view of Edinburgh's skyline. Its grandeur adds to the city's charm, making it a must-visit spot in Scotland for its iconic beauty and breathtaking vistas
It's a sort of specific monument I've ever seen. Some people tend to climb for taking a picture or view sightseeing. But be careful when you're going up there. That stone block was so slippery that it's to get injured.
Fun spot to learn about this part of scotlands history and why they call it the Athens of the North. Interesting to learn that the plan was supposedly to build the full size replica of the Parthenon but ran out of funds in the 1800 so turned into somewhat of a ruin like the original. Great views of the city and North Sea as well
