Summary
| Description | Designed by William Henry Playfair and Charles Robert Cockerell and begun in 1826, it was modelled on the Parthenon in Athens and intended as a memorial to Scots killed in the Napoleonic Wars and a national symbol, it was left unfinished in 1829 when the funding dried up. It still looks pretty monumental, dominating the local landscape. |
