I am told that the view from the top of the Scott Monument is amazing. However, I can only go on hearsay evidence as I didn't make it to the top. Infact I don't think I even got half way up. The problem was that I could see the ground when I looked between the steps and I had a bad attack of vertigo. I had to be helped down. If you don't like heights, don't do it! However, if you are okay 200 feet above the ground in a metal tower where you can see all the way down to the ground between the steps, you will enjoy the spectacular view.
This monument stands in Edinburgh at Princes Street Gardens. It is very near the Catle so you will find it easily. This monument was built around 1845 as a tribute to Sir Walter Scott. There are 287 steps to climb and it will cost you £2.50 to go to the top. There are three levels and you can rest at each one, or so I'm told. I didn't get to the first one.
The view from the gallery at the top is magnificent. You can see the whole of Edinburgh spread out around you. However, if you don't like heights, suffer from vertigo or get claustrophobic don't do it!
