Trinity周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

エディンバラのビクトリア通りは、そのユニークで湾曲した石畳のデザイン、鮮やかな虹色の店のファサード、そして上部テラスを備えた2層構造の独特な配置で知られています。1829年から1834年の間に建設されたこの通りは、多くの人がハリー・ポッターの本のダイアゴン横丁のインスピレーションの源になったと考えています。

This is how some 200 years ago, bookworms began: "In that lovely district of merry England, which is watered by the River Don, there was in ancient times a great wood... Here dwelt... the fabulous Dragon of Wantley; here were fought several of the bloodiest battles during the Rose Civil Wars..." Through translations, Scott's fame on the British Isles soon spread throughout Europe, even to the New World. The author, who continued to publish his books anonymously, with the reference "By the Author of Waverley," naturally rejoiced in his hiding place over the success – until, by chance, it was revealed that he, Walter Scott, was the author. The honors in Scotland were endless. The toast Lord Meadowbank made at a banquet held in Scott's honor in 1827 remains valid in Scotland to this day: "The beauties of our country... and the fame of our ancestors have been carried by him beyond the shores of this island, to the ends of the earth. He has... immortalized the name of Scotland..." (Text from https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/250-geburtstag-des-schriftstellers-wie-sir-walter-scott-den-100.html )

Especially beautiful at dusk.

Busy street but worth a detour

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.

India Buildingsは、1864年に建築家David Cousinsによって建てられ、当時の流行であったバロンスタイルで設計されました。中世の城壁にインスパイアされた小さな塔である建物の頂上にある「バティザン」に注目してください。オフィススペースとして使用される予定で、最初のテナントにはブリティッシュ・リネン銀行、スコットランド農業会議所、スコットランド地質調査所が含まれていました。近年、多くのエディンバラ市民は、この建物が一般登録局が入っていた場所として記憶しているでしょう。 https://ewh.org.uk/victoria-street/
