This presumably shows a proposal made by Richard Crichton for a bridge to span the Low Calton ravine. Construction of the Regent Bridge and Waterloo Place which now serve this function began in 1815. This bridge was designed by Archibald Elliot.
Calton Hill is situated at the east end of Princes Street in Edinburgh. It rises to a height of 108 metres and is another of the city's hills created by volcanic activity. Several monuments stand on the hill. Most prominent amongst these are the Nelson Monument, built in the shape of a telescope, and the unfinished National Monument, modelled on the Parthenon in Athens.
