Sometimes things happen for a reason.\n\nThe National Monument is one of those things. Never completly finished, this amazing structure holds more presence in the city of Edinburgh than a lot of buildings that are much more grand and completly built.\n\nYou may think it looks out of place, and it certainly does amongst the gothic city - but this classical reconstruction of the Parthenon stands out and is really something special.\n\nIt's no wonder they call Edinburgh the 'Athens of the North'.
