Old World Edinburgh 2 (Scott Monument, Priestfield Parish Church, Cowgate...)

Welcome to Old World Edinburgh 2!

Today we briefly visit Arthur's Seat before concentrating on Priestfield Parish Church and some interesting columns. Then we take a look at a lovely building in the Cowgate before turning to the main feature; the Scott Monument.

In this series, we will show various areas and buildings in Edinburgh that we think may be part of the old world; a civilization that existed before us, that may have built some of the buildings that share similar characteristics across the world.

If you haven't explored these theories before, it is a big rabbit hole! Here are some suggestions:
