The old city observatory probably takes up the largest area on Calton Hill. The middle building is again reminiscent of a Greek temple. No wonder, since William Henry Playfair, who later also worked on the National Monument, was responsible for this. It went into operation in 1818, the domed building with the copper roof is the telescope building. At the other end stands an ancient structure, the Thomas Short Observatory, built in the mid-18th century - its Gothic style is in stark contrast to the ancient borrowings of the other monuments on Calton Hill.

"The Gothic Tower of the City Observatory of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, is the oldest part of the observatory and was designed by architect James Craig and built in the 18th century. It was the only gothic tower built of all that were planned because the project ran out of money. Source: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gothic_Tower_-_City_Observatory_of_Edinburgh_-_05.jpg
