East Princes Street Gardens

After his death in 1832, a competition was held to design a monument to the life of Sir Walter Scott. This winning entry by George Meikle Kemp was built between 1840 and 1846. Scott and his dog Maida sit at the bottom, underneath a 200-foot spire that contains 64 statues of characters from his works. You can climb the tower to get some amazing views of the city as well as a better look at those statues..
