Description

Le Monument national d'Écosse, à Édimbourg, est érigé à la mémoire des soldats et des marins écossais qui ont trouvé la mort lors des guerres napoléoniennes. Son inscription le définit comme « A Memorial of the Past and Incentive to the Future Heroism of the Men of Scotland ».

Situé au sommet de Calton Hill, à l'est de Princes Street, le monument a été dessiné en 1823-1826 par les architectes Charles Robert Cockerell et William Henry Playfair dans un style néoclassique, sur le modèle du Parthénon d'Athènes. C'est en partie à cette similitude que la ville d'Édimbourg doit son surnom d'« Athènes du Nord ». Elle le doit également à l'architecture néoclassique de la Galerie nationale d'Écosse et de la Royal Scottish Academy.
