Located in the princes Street , the Scott monument along with the Edinburgh castle are the most recognised buildings of Edinburgh. Named after Sir Walter Scott who happens to be arguably the most famous Scottish poets and storytellers this tower is now a symbol of this place. Built about 150 years ago this gothic monument looks even older than that. You can sit in the here and enjoy the surrounding busy market as the day goes by. The Waverly railway station is adjacent to the monument, so it's easy to reach here.

What a landmark! Be prepared for a steep walk up. Lovely views from the top. It will cost around 20 pounds for a family ticket but it is going to a worthy cause and up keep of the monument

A lovely monument in a really friendly, rustic town.

A truly impressive gothic structure that reaches towards the heavens from the verdant well kept grass surrounding it. A lot of people were out here on the sunny day that we visited, but you spend most of your time looking up at the grand spires, so this isn't really an issue when there.

It's a good historic Monument right in the middle of the city. The Princess Park adds beauty to it. It is a tribute to the novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott. The tower is slightly higher than 200 feet and have viewing platform for the braver souls. The Waverly railway station is a mere stone's throw away.
