Introduction

Calton Hill is located in the eastern part of the New Town of Edinburgh and is the highest point and observation point of the city. Many historic monuments and buildings are widely distributed, among which one was built with the support of the city government in the early 20th century during the Great Depression. It is a building with the ancient Greek Parthenon temple style and its feature is that it has no specific purpose and has become a gathering place for tourists at sunrise and sunset.
