View from
Queen's Park - looking to the north - towards
Calton Hill
Here is a view from
the slopes of Arthur's Seat in Queen's Park, looking to the north.
In the foreground is
the dome of the Dynamic Earth Millennium Exhibition Centre.
The building site
immediately above Dynamic Earth is the new home of the Scottish
Parliament, currently under construction, and due to be completed
around 2004.
In the background is
Calton Hill,
with its monuments, including the
Nelson Monument
and the
National Monument.
The low long building
at the base of Calton Hill is the old
Royal High
School. This may, one day, become a National
Scottish Centre for Photography. |
