Description:
One of Edinburgh's most renowned monuments is this Gothic structure built in honor of the then-controversial writer Sir Walter Scott. This structure consists of a church spire that is over two hundred feet tall. Sitting inside the spire is the famous author and his dog, Maida, accompanied by sixty-four carved representations of the characters in his novels. Visitors who make the 287-step climb to the top of the monument will enjoy the spectacular view afforded over the city.
