Hamilton Mausoleum
It was the resting place of the family of the Dukes of Hamilton. Built in the grounds of the now-demolished Hamilton Palace, its high stone vault reputedly gives this building the longest lasting echo of any man-made structure in the world.

"Organised" football was being played in castle courtyards in Scotland more than 500 years ago
The Foot-Ball Club (active 1824–41) of Edinburgh, Scotland, is the first documented club dedicated to football, and the first to describe itself as a football club. The only surviving club rules forbade tripping, but allowed pushing and holding and the picking up of the ball.
The first association game in Scotland in 1868 was between Queens Park and The Thistle. It also lasted two hours but was 20-a-side.
The world's oldest surviving football dates back to 1540 and was found behind panelling in Stirling Castle.

Calton Hill is great. That's to the point Edinburgh ran out of money. Hense the bulding behind your Husband was never built.
You know why the money ran out after looking over Edinburgh from that point.
My Grandad is an expert on Edinburgh, he done the tour buses there after working a few decades at the Balmoral and Caledonian hotels.

Also kinda guessed Cockburn street would be one of your fave streets. It's very gothic in style.
