20110825 Dugald Stewart Monument

The Dugald Stewart Monument, on Calton Hill, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Dedicated to the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart, a leading philosopher of his time. Stewart held the chair of Moral Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, teaching philosophy, natural philosophy, economics, logic, and Greek for 42 years, from 1786 until his death in 1828. The monument was designed by noted architect William Henry Playfair, responsible for so much of Edinburgh's architecture. It was completed in 1831, and is a category A listed.

Taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Tamron 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD (Nikon AFS) lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
