    The Nelson Tower was completed in 1816, to commemorate Nelson's victory at Trafalgar, subsequently restored in 2009. It marks the highest point of Calton Hill (171m) and the monument itself is 32m high.

    A time ball was installed in 1853 and is raised just before 1pm, and at precisely 1pm is dropped from the top of the mast.

      The upturned telescope was designed by the architect Robert Burn, and was built between 1807 and 1815.

      In 1853, a large time ball was introduced, which is lowered as the one o'clock gun is fired from Edinburgh castle each day.

      Climb this monument for stunning views over the city!

      £6 entry to climb the tower, but the museum on the ground floor is free (although donations are always welcome).

        The Nelson Monument is said to be modeled on an admiral's telescope. Anyway, it crowns Calton Hill beautifully.

            One of the architectural elements of Calton Hill that make it so beautiful. The tower is dedicated to Admiral Nelson and his victory over the French fleet at Trafalgar.

              The Nelson Monument is a commemorative tower in honour of Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, located in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is situated on top of Calton Hill, and provides a dramatic termination to the vista along Princes Street from the west. The monument was built between 1807 and 1816 to commemorate Nelson's victory over the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and his own death at the same battle.

                The real highlight is on the tower. The time ball. This was then raised at 1:00 p.m. so that the ships in the bay could set their chronometers. Because there was open fog at the time, the "Time Ball" was connected with a cable to the One o'Clock Gun from the Castle.

                            A wonderfully located destination with a magnificent view over Edinburgh and the bay and directly opposite the castle. Climbing the stairs is strenuous but definitely worth it. If you are in Edinburgh you should come here.

                                The Nelson Monument, a striking memorial tower honoring Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, stands majestically on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. Built between 1807 and 1816, this architectural gem commemorates Nelson's decisive victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, as well as his own death in that same battle. The tower, modeled on an upside-down telescope, is not only notable for its historical significance, but also offers one of the most spectacular views over the Scottish capital.

                                Visiting the Nelson Monument is like traveling back in time. Climbing the 32 meter high tower via the narrow spiral staircase is a small adventure in itself. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view showing the city of Edinburgh in all its glory. From this highest point on Calton Hill, you can experience with your own eyes the dynamic connection between past and present, between the historic old town and the vibrant new town.

                                A special highlight of the Nelson Monument is the time ball, which was installed in 1853. Shortly before 1pm this ball is lifted and falls at exactly 1pm, synchronized with the firing of the one o'clock cannon from Edinburgh Castle. This fascinating spectacle is not only a historical relic, but once served as an important time signal for ships in Leith harbor to set their chronometers.

                                For those who visit the monument, it is also worth visiting the small museum on the ground floor, which is accessible free of charge (donations are welcome). Here you can delve deeper into the history of the tower and Nelson's deeds.
