- Description:
- Postcard (color, tinted, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled Carlton Hill, Edinburgh - Calton Hill is one of Edinburgh's main hills, set right in the city centre. An unfinished monument - originally called the "National Monument," was meant to be a replica of the Parthenon in Athens, and intended as a memorial to those who had died in the Napoleonic Wars. Building began in 1822 but there was not enough money to finish the building. It was dubbed "Edinburgh's shame", and continues to be a popular landmark. No descriptive text on reverse.
