Introduction

Prince Street Gardens is one of Scotland's most famous garden landscapes and also marks the boundary between Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. The Scott Monument, towering at 200 feet, commemorates Sir Walter Scott, a famous Scottish writer. From its narrow staircase of 287 steps, visitors can reach the observation deck at the top for a panoramic view of the city center and surrounding scenery. On sunny days, locals and tourists alike relax and soak up the sun on the garden's spacious lawns or benches.
