60 metres high, inaugurated in 1844, it is Edinburgh's tribute to one of its greatest men: Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832). A total of 68 statues cover him and represent characters from his works. During his lifetime, his novels were best-sellers that were shipped from the port of Leith to London, where they were then distributed throughout Europe. Among the winners are Ivanhoe, Quentin Durward, Waverley, Rob Roy and l'Antiquaire. To get to the top, you'll have to climb 287 steps. His house is visible at 25 George Square.

Emblématique de la ville. Il est posé sur une bute qui surplombe la ville. La vue est superbe, la montée un peu raide mais elle vaut le coup.

Monument imposant et majestueux en plein centre ville sur la grande artère principale amenant à Calton Hill.

This monument cannot be missed in the city centre of Edinburgh. At 1 st glance we wonder what he does there because he seems to be born from nowhere. For the lovers of the Lord of the Rings I imagined myself directly in front of the tower of elendil! A dark, dark, mysterious tower. Once at its summit you will have an incomparable view of the gardens and castle just on the hill opposite.
