The Partenon on Calton Hill

After our Harry Potter excursion we walked across the city to Calton Hill.  There is a monument that greatly resembles a portion of the Parthenon in Greece...


In addition to the Parthenon monument, there were many other beautiful monuments on Calton Hill.




Calton Hill provided a great view of Arthur Seat and the new town extending to the shoreline...

Across the street is a very old cemetery, in which we found a statue of Abe Lincoln, honoring the Scottish-American soldiers.
