Scott Monument

This black tower is so eye-catching that you can notice it from a distance because its black appearance makes it stand out like a crane among chickens. When you get closer, you will find that the workmanship of the tower is actually very delicate and intricate.

In the center of the Scott Memorial stands a white marble statue of Scott, wearing a robe and with his beloved dog lying beside him. The stairs to the tower are optional, getting narrower as you go up, and it is difficult for the last person to pass through.

Located in the middle of Princes Street, Edinburgh's trendy street, not far from Waverley Railway Station. Scott was a great writer, and the Scots built such a spectacular monument for the writer, which is unforgettable and majestic no matter how you look at it, although the tower is not big.

The guy working the ticket office was such a delight; welcoming visitors until the end of the day. By going there at a quiet time, we were able to spend as much time as we wanted on each level, with no pressure from above or below. The view from each level changes slightly, and it's well worth the trip to the top. Would recommend

The weather was great when we went to Edinburgh, so we came here to climb to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery. There are 287 steps here. Because you can reach the top of the mountain by following the steps, the steps seem a bit remote and quiet, but this is expected. The only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that when there are many people, the steps will be crowded when people going up and down the mountain meet. In short, the scenery is great!

A writer with only a few works has such a large memorial! "It is indeed an impressive monument from all angles. At night, it looks like a spaceship launched from Star Trek. Didn't go to the top, but obviously the view is already beautiful. Recommended

You can see the Scott Memorial Tower as soon as you walk out of Edinburgh Railway Station. Whether you are looking from Prince Street in the New Town or Market Street in the Old Town, whether you are far away or close, there are beautiful views to take pictures of! This tower is a concrete expression of the highest praise for literature and the highest admiration for writers! The fairyland-like country with lakes and mountains and the sound of bagpipes everywhere has created a nation that loves and respects literature! Worth a visit

Only visit if you are physically fit. Children over 10 should be fine but should be supervised by an adult. Sorry to be so cautious but there are 287 spiral steps to climb. It gets harder the higher you go and the walls get narrower. But when you get to the top, like Cody Jarret did, you will see the best view of Edinburgh.
