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 1815 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.[1] In 1853 a time ball was added, as a time signal to shipping in Leith harbour. The monument was restored in 2009. Designed by architect Robert Burn. The monument is a category A listed building. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Monument, _Edinburgh
