Dugald Stewart Monument

Built: 1831

Architect: William H. Playfair

 

This monument commemorates another key player of the Scottish Enlightenment, Dugald Stewart. Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stewart rose to fame as a writer and philosopher.

 

William H. Playfair modelled the monument on the ancient Greek Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, which also inspired Thomas Hamilton in his design for the Robert Burns Monument which sits on the other side of Calton Hill.
