🏛 The Scott Monument in Edinburgh - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

The Scott Monument in Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland

The Scott Monument in Princes Street Gardens is a towering Victorian Gothic landmark honoring Sir Walter Scott, with his statue, carved novel characters, and panoramic city views from its platforms.

Tips:
• Located in central Edinburgh, easy to spot from Princes Street.
• Climb 287 narrow spiral steps for the best views (several viewing levels).
• Look closely at the 64 carved figures from Scott’s novels.
• Early morning or late afternoon visits offer softer light for photos.
• Small entry fee; dress for wind at the top.

📍 Location in Princes Street, Abbeyhill, Old Town, City of Edinburgh, Scotland, EH2 2BY, United Kingdom
