The National Monument of Scotland, popularly referred to as Scotland’s Disgrace, the Pride and Poverty of Scotland or Edinburgh’s Shame, is an unfinished building on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. It is Scotland’s national memorial to the Scottish soldiers and sailors who died fighting in the Napoleonic Wars and was intended, according to the inscription, to be “A Memorial of the Past and Incentive to the Future Heroism of the Men of Scotland”.

\nThe monument dominates the top of Calton Hill, just to the east of Edinburgh’s New Town. It was designed during 1823-6 by Charles Robert Cockerell and William Henry Playfair and is modelled upon the Parthenon in Athens. Construction started in 1826 and the building was left in its unfinished state in 1829.<\/em><\/p>\n
