What is the disgrace of Edinburgh?
Construction started in 1826 and, due to the lack of funds, was left unfinished in 1829. This circumstance gave rise to various nicknames such as Scotland’s Folly, Edinburgh’s Disgrace, the Pride and Poverty of Scotland and Edinburgh’s Folly. Edinburgh’s most iconic failure cost £16,000 to abandon in 1829. Architects designed the National Monument of Scotland on Calton Hill, a volcanic hill with some of the best city views. The goal was to honor Scottish soldiers and sailors killed in the Napoleonic Wars.
