Scott Monument, Edinburgh

Address - E. Princes St Gardens, Edinburgh EH2 2EJ, United Kingdom Highlights - One of the most iconic Edinburgh landmarks. Built in 1840. Scenic spot. Rating - 5/5 If you are looking for a place of interest in Edinburgh, I would recommend going to Scott Monument. The monument is prominent city centre landmark on Princes Street in the heart of Edinburgh. If you managed to climb to the top of the tower, you will get to see the view of whole Edinburgh. I will suggest to go during late afternoon, as the monument is located across the shopping mall (Waverly Mall), so you can either go shopping first or visit the monument first. Likewise, if you are towards the nature, you can be able to pack a picnic mat and sit around the monument near and enjoy the scenery. #travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions

Scott Monument

The Scott Monument is a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Following Scott's death in 1832, a competition was held to design a monument to him. The foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1840. Construction began in 1841 following permission by Parliament's Monument to Sir Walter Scott Act and ran for nearly four years. It was completed in the autumn of 1844, with Kemp's son placing the finial in August of the year. The total cost was just over £16,154.[5] The monument was inaugurated on 15 August 1846, but George Meikle Kemp was absent. He had fallen into the Union Canal while walking home from the site and drowned on the foggy evening of 6 March 1844. #newphotographer #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide #unforgettableexperiences #awesomepic #historicculture #urbanexplorer
