I've been a bit distractable again tonight, but since I seem to be having a general Age of Sail catch up I wrote a bit about Trafalgar Day and the National Monument on Calton Hill, which was intended as a war memorial for the Napoleonic Wars, but didn't get very far. 148 words.
The original intention was to build a replica of the Parthenon, and an association was formed and the foundation stone laid in 1822, but it took another four years before building started in 1826, and by 1829 it had stopped.
