Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Scott Monument The Scott Monument, designed as a Gothic spire by George Meikle Kemp, stands in East Princes Street Gardens. The foundation stone was laid in 1840. It is 200 feet (61 metres high) and can be climbed by an internal staircase. It is believed to be the largest monument to a writer anywhere in the world. When the Belgian author, Georges Simenon, visited Edinburgh in the 1950s, he is reported to have remarked, "You mean they built this for one of us?". It is the second largest monument in Scotland, outranked only by the Wallace Monument in Stirling which is eighteen feet taller. |
