    Abstract

    The Nelson Monument on Calton Hill in Edinburgh was built in 1816 to commemorate Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson and his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). Designed by Robert Burn and finished by Thomas Bonnar, the monument resembles an upturned telescope, symbolizing Nelson’s naval legacy. In 1853, a time ball was added to the top, which drops daily at 1:00 PM, when the One O’Clock Gun is fired from Edinburgh Castle.https://scholarworks.uni.edu/his_monuments_sp2022/1088/thumbnail.jp
