The Abbey Church at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, E

Looking through the main window of the Abbey Church up to Calton Hill where on the right you can see Nelson's monumnet.

The roof collapsed collapsed in 1768, leaving the Chapel Royal in ruins.

Perched high on Calton Hill at the East end of the city centre sits the monument to Admiral Lord Nelson?s victory and death at the battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805.

The upturned telescope design was created by Robert Burn and was built between 1807 and 1815.
