The Scott Monument is a Victorian Gothic monument to Scottish author Sir Walter Scott. Following Scott's death in 1832, a competition was held to design a monument to him. The foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1840. Construction began in 1841 following permission by Parliament's Monument to Sir Walter Scott Act and ran for nearly four years. It was completed in the autumn of 1844, with Kemp's son placing the finial in August of the year. The total cost was just over £16,154.[5] The monument was inaugurated on 15 August 1846, but George Meikle Kemp was absent. He had fallen into the Union Canal while walking home from the site and drowned on the foggy evening of 6 March 1844. #newphotographer #travelinspiration #scenicspotguide #unforgettableexperiences #awesomepic #historicculture #urbanexplorer

Edinburgh’s own Diagon Alley. A curving ribbon of cascading cobblestones punctuated with hued buildings, Victoria Street is one of Edinburgh’s prettiest streets. Like all pockets of Scotland, this iconic area is a mosaic of history, with its ancient stone facades and old-world charm serving as a constant reminder of the past. From its historical appeal to independent shops, explore the jewels embellishing this charming street. #travelinspiration #travelinspiration#newphotographer#unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#awesomepic#roadtrip#urbanexplorer

Arthur's Seat is a wonderful geologic formation right in the middle of #Edinburgh. This is one of my favorite places to come and get away from the hectic life in the city. Can always recommend this place to visitors. #tripaway. #tripaway

I've always wanted to go to Scotland but the weather always discouraged me so I decided to go in November. That way I wouldn't be disappointed as it rains all the time. Edinburgh is really a beautiful city that reminds us immediately of the atmosphere of Harry Potter, besides JK Rolling would have started his writing here. There is not much specific thing to do or visit in Edinburgh. Just let your steps guide you through the streets and alleys of the historic center. I would also recommend visiting some of the cemeteries as they are really incredible, filled with tombstones worthy of horror movies. It is even hard to believe that they are real tombs. That's the charm of this beautiful city. #awesomepic #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #movielocations

This is one of the most memorable place I have ever been. Arthur’s seat in Edinburgh, The UK. This hill is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. I can spend hours just sitting here overlooking the city or enjoy the green spacious park. I enjoyed every second when I was here. Amazing. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
