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.

Ce monument représentant l’ Écosse ainsi que son célèbre écrivain vaut le détour. Il faut gravir les 287 marches, qui sont vraiment étroites mais une fois en haut on a une superbe vue sur Edimbourg et le château.

joli monument en plein centre ville. Vous ne pouvez pas le louper!
Il est entouré d'une plate bande d'herbe et offre une belle vue sur la vieille ville d'Edimbourg en face de Princes Street.
Une ou deux photos et on part déjà pour le prochain point d'intérêt de la ville.

Très sympa après une petit déjeuner ou un déjeuner copieux de monter les 287 marches de cette tour, une vue imprenable sur le château et le pricesse street garden...
