Scott Monument
One of the top views you can get over the city, and it doesn't get any more gothic than this (it hasn't been given the nickname "Gothic Rocket" for nothing!) The space can however get quite tight, especially towards the very top, so please do keep this in mind!
Historic
The Writers' Museum
Bookworm? Then you're surely aware that Scotland was once the home of great authors like Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson - and in this Old Town museum you'll get to see their original manuscripts and rough drafts! Also - the hidden court it's situated in is extremely photogenic!
Museum
City Art Centre
Right outside of the Waverley Station you will find this multi-story gallery featuring both a plenty of free art to peruse and special paid-to-enter exhibitions. It even has its own Mimi's Bakehouse!
Art Gall…
Fruitmarket
A gallery for modern and alternative art. Free to visit, plus it has one of my favourite gallery shops full of hard to find modern art books, essay collections and design gifts.

Stills
This one is for all you photography fans! Hiding in plain sight on Cockburn street, this galllery is a perfect nibble of culture while you're shopping for gifts!
