The first civic monument to be erected in Nelson's honour was the [[Nelson Monument, Glasgow|Nelson Monument]], a 44-metre high obelisk on [[Glasgow Green]] in [[Glasgow]], Scotland, in 1806. Also in Scotland, the foundation stone for [[:File:Nelson's Tower, Cluny Hill, Forres - geograph.org.uk - 1720070.jpg|Nelson's Tower]] at [[Forres]] in [[Moray]] was laid in 1806 and it was completed in 1812;<ref>{{cite web|title=Forres, Cluny Hills, Nelson's Monument|url=https://canmore.org.uk/site/15864/forres-cluny-hills-nelsons-monument|work=[[Canmore (database)|Canmore]]|publisher=Historic Environment Scotland|accessdate=2022-04-02}}</ref> while the [[Nelson Monument, Edinburgh|Nelson Monument]] stands on top of [[Calton Hill, Edinburgh]]. In [[Dublin]], Ireland, [[Nelson's Pillar]] was erected in 1808 but was destroyed by [[Irish republicanism|republicans]] in 1966, and in the [[Bull Ring, Birmingham]], England, there is a [[listed building|Grade II* listed]] bronze [[Statue of Horatio Nelson, Birmingham|statue of Nelson]] by [[Richard Westmacott]], dating from 1809. Westmacott also designed the elaborate monument to Nelson in [[Liverpool]]. In [[Portsmouth]], [[The Nelson Monument, Portsdown Hill|Nelson's Needle]], on top of [[Portsdown Hill]], was paid for by the company of {{HMS|Victory}} after arriving back in Portsmouth. There is a column topped with a decorative urn in the Castle Green, [[Hereford]] – a statue was planned in place of the urn, but insufficient money was raised.<ref>{{cite web |last=Burns |first=Patrick |title=BBC site with photograph |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/herefordandworcester/nature/12.shtml |publisher=BBC |date=30 August 2011 |access-date=5 September 2011}}</ref> The [[Britannia Monument]] in [[Great Yarmouth]], England (1819), is a 144-foot-high [[Doric order|doric]] column design.

Elsewhere in the world, [[Nelson's Column, Montreal|Nelson's Column in Montreal]] was erected by both [[English Canadians|Britons]] and [[French-Canadians|Canadians]] in 1809, and there is also a Mount Nelson, near [[Invermere, British Columbia]]. As at London, the column in [[Montreal]] has the admiral standing with his back to the waves. A much shorter statue of Lord Nelson in [[National Heroes Square|Trafalgar Square]], [[Bridgetown]], [[Barbados]], is older than its counterpart in London.<ref>[http://www.funbarbados.com/Sights/S_lordnelson.cfm Lord Nelson Statue] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080708224645/http://www.funbarbados.com/Sights/S_lordnelson.CFM |date=8 July 2008}}.
