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 1816 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. In 1852 a mechanized time ball was added, as a time signal to shipping in Leith harbour. The time ball is synchronized with the One O'Clock Gun firing from Edinburgh Castle. The monument was restored in 2009.

  • Памятник Нельсону (англ. Nelson Monument) — мемориальная башня в Эдинбурге (Шотландия), посвященная вице-адмиралу Горацио Нельсону. Монумент был возведен на вершине холма Колтон-Хилл в 1807—1816 годах в честь победы Нельсона над объединенным франко-испанским флотом в Трафальгарском сражении (1805) и в память о гибели самого вице-адмирала в этой битве. В 1852 году башню оснастили механизированным шаром сигнала времени, синхронизированным с Часовой пушкой Эдинбургского замка. В 2009 году была проведена реставрация памятника. (ru)
