About this Stone
This iconic monument on Calton Hill offers one of the most recognizable views of the city. Built to memorialize Dugald Stewart, a Scottish philosopher and professor at the University of Edinburgh, it follows the design of the ancient Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. The structure features a circular temple of nine fluted Corinthian columns surrounding a central urn, making it a striking landmark and favorite spot for visitors seeking panoramic vistas.
