Scott Monument

The dark tower was so eye-catching that it was noticed a long way away because the black exterior made it stand out like a chicken. When I approached, the tower was actually very meticulous and complicated.

In the center of the monument stands a white marble statue of Scott, dressed in a robe and with his dog lying around him. The stairs to the tower are of choice, the narrower the upward, and the last person to pass is difficult.

The middle of Princes Street, Chao Street, Edinburgh, not far from the Waverley Railway Station. Scott is a big man, and the Scots have set up such a spectacular monument for literary artists, which is unforgettable. How to see how majestic, although the tower is not big.

Check in the Scott Memorial Tower, just near the train station, there is a small park, the scenery is very good, come and check in!

Looks an interesting but slightly innocuous monument. But the walk up is well worth it. Atmospheric (claustrophobic) steep spiral steps with 4 levels to get a better and better view of Edinburgh from.

Beautiful views and climbing the stairs was thrilling.

Definitely worth the hike up all those stairs for the stunning view of the city you receive at the top! I believe I paid about £5 per person, so it's fairly affordable. Be warned, however. There is a fair amount of steps and the stairway gets much narrower as you get higher up, and the last 10-15 steps are a tight fit. If you're claustrophobic I would suggest otherwise, but as a friend of mine who was 6'1" just barely fit

You can walk to the top to get great views, or view it from the tea room at Romanes and Patterson's
