On Calton Hill, a location rich with monuments, you will discover the Duagald Stewart Monument, a memorial to the philosopher who was a key figure in the Scottish Enlightenment period.

The monument was completed in 1831 and is unmistakably based on the Athenian architecture of ancient Greece.

Dugald Stewart FRSE FRS (/ˈdjuːɡəld/; 22 November 1753 – 11 June 1828) was a Scottish philosopher and mathematician. Today regarded as one of the most important figures of the later Scottish Enlightenment, he was renowned as a populariser of the work of Francis Hutcheson and Adam Smith. Trained in mathematics, medicine and philosophy,[1] his lectures at the University of Edinburgh were widely disseminated by his many influential students. In 1783 he was a joint founder of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In most contemporary documents he is referred to as Prof Dougal Stewart.
