Sir Walter Scott Momument

At 200 feet (61 meters) tall, the Scott Monument is the largest monument in the world dedicated to a writer.
Inaugurated in 1846, Scott Monument is a Gothic monument built in honour of the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott. ​
The tower, on Princes Street, is blackish in color giving it an eerie beauty.
It is one of the most iconic buildings in the Edinburgh skyline.
