Episode Details

Climb to the top of Edinburgh’s iconic Scott Monument this August for free—12 tickets daily from the 10th to 17th—to celebrate its 180th anniversary. Built in 1844 to honor Sir Walter Scott, this towering Victorian Gothic landmark boasts 221 steps, 68 unique statues, and jaw-dropping panoramic views from four viewing galleries. Designed by carpenter-turned-architect George Meikle Kemp (who tragically drowned before completion), the monument is carved from Binny sandstone and inspired by historic sites like Melrose Abbey. Climb it, claim your commemorative certificate, and soak in the city’s rich history—all while enjoying a rare, free adventure.
