Guidebook for Edinburgh
Arts & Culture
The Scott Monument was built for Scottish author Sir Walter Scott and today is a great location for viewing Edinburgh from a great height. This is not one for those who are afraid of heights or confined stairwells, but the view is worth the effort.

Parks & Nature
This is a must visit! Try and aim to get up there to watch the sunrise. Quite a steep incline to reach the summit and make sure you leave plenty of time to reach the top. Beautiful views of Edinburgh.
