Scott Monument is the best place to overlook the whole of Edinburgh besides the Edinburgh Castle. The last three pictures were taken at the top of the tower. (Although the stairs on the top of the memorial hall are narrow and winding, and there are tickets to go up, it's still very worthwhile to see the beautiful scenery!)

    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.

    The Scott Memorial Tower is a Victorian Gothic memorial to the Scottish writer Walter Scott. It is 200 feet and 6 inches tall and can be reached through narrow steps to a series of observation decks on the spire overlooking Edinburgh city centre and surrounding scenery. The highest observation deck is to climb 287 steps, and the climber can obtain a memorial certificate. The tower is built from sandstone mined from nearby Ecclesmachan, and the stone contains asphalt, making it black.

    Because it's the place that I like in the movie cloud Atlas, I want to go, so I put Edinburgh on the schedule Although it's a pity that I can't go to the tower now, it's also very handsome at sunset!

    The Scott Memorial Tower can be seen as soon as you get out of the train station! Majestic, remember to shoot at a low angle on this staircase :)

    At night, when I arrived in Edinburgh, I was a little creepy at night and I was able to enjoy the unique charm ‼️
