Message from Viktoriia Telfer

The Scott Monument in Edinburgh is a massive Gothic tower dedicated to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Standing tall in Princes Street Gardens, it's like the second-biggest writer monument globally after one in Havana. Visitors can climb its 287 steps for panoramic views of Edinburgh. Designed by George Meikle Kemp and featuring a statue of Scott himself, this monument is a must-see for literary buffs and history lovers alike.
