About Sir Walter Scott Monument

Built in 1841 to commemorate Sir Walter Scott, author of the best-selling Waverley novels, who died in 1832. Designed by George Meikle Kemp and inspired by the Gothic architecture of the Borders Abbeys. Dickens hated it! The monument inspired the name of the nearby bridge and Edinburgh Waverley Railway station.
