ペントランドヒルズ広域公園のおすすめライド

Good cycle way

Great space in the middle of Scotland's capital city.

I recommend an early morning run before the city has started its daily activities.

Meeting point of Edinburgh Critical Mass.

To climb to the top of the tower, you must climb 287 steps, which are divided into four levels, where you can pause and rest if you wish. As you continue up the spiral staircase, the climb becomes increasingly challenging as the walls become narrower and the steps become unstable. Although the climb may seem endless and a bit tiring, the effort will be worth it once you reach the top. Here, you'll be able to enjoy some of the best views of Edinburgh. Simply stunning views. If you don't suffer from claustrophobia or have a condition that prevents you from climbing to the top of the Scott Monument, we highly recommend climbing to the top to enjoy the breathtaking views. https://www.introducingedinburgh.com/scott-monument

The history of the monument, and much more, is told in the monument's museum hall on the first floor. Visitors can learn more about Scott himself, his eventful life, his legacy in international literature, and the monument built in his honor. Audio points allow visitors to listen to excerpts from his writings. https://www.edinburghmuseums.org.uk/venue/scott-monument

The Scott Monument is one of Edinburgh's most iconic landmarks, a must-see for visitors and locals alike. Dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, it is one of the greatest monuments to a writer in the world.

The legend of Bobby touched the heart of Baroness Angelia Georgina Burdett-Coutts. She was the daughter of banker Thomas Coutts (of Coutts Bank fame) and inherited £1.8 million on the death of her grandfather, making her one of the richest women in England. Burdett-Coutts spent much of her fortune on philanthropic causes. She co-designed Urania Cottage for the "fallen young women" with Charles Dickens and became a pioneer of social housing. The Baroness obtained permission from Edinburgh Council to erect a statue of Bobby at the junction of Candlemakers Row and George IV Bridge, just outside Greyfriars Kirkyard. Artist William Brodie was commissioned to create the statue in 1872. Since its unveiling, the statue of Bobby has become a major Edinburgh landmark. https://www.scottishtours.co.uk/blog/the-true-story-of-greyfriars-bobby/
