Really nice monument and worth to see! I love how everything in this city is made in the same style!

The view was ok at the top, but not as good as from the castle nor from Arthurs seat.

I think the attendant downstairs let far too many people in at once... The walk to the top would not be so bad (287 steps) if you didn't have to negotiate round people coming in the opposite direction... One guy slipped and knocked me down a few stairs so wasn't too impressed for the rest of the day.

Get practicing at limbo if you're over 5'9" because the top is an awfully tight squeeze!

An amazing memorial, it was shut when we visited, but the work involved in building this must have been phonominal, was worth seeing even at ground level.

The views from all 4 stages of the Scott Monument are spectacular in every direction, you just need to be prepared for the climb! This might be stating the obvious but it is not for those incapable of climbing a lot of steps, anyone with a fear of heights or anyone with claustrophia as the stairs in some places are pretty narrow. Just warning you now! It was really worth going right to the top, especially on a clear day as you can see for miles. There is a little exhibition that is almost like a shrine to Sir Walter Scott on the first level that explains a little bit about how the monument was constructed and there are some beautiful stained glass windows in there that are worth a look. Great value for £3.
