The Scott Monument

An unmissable landmark in the middle of Princes Street, the Scott monument stands tall at 200 feet, 6 inches high, and is the tallest monument in the world to a writer. There are 287 steps to climb to get to the very top which will test the sturdiest legs! The view from the top is truly spectacular, thought there’s not much room up there!
