    "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
