United Kingdom - Edinburgh

Scott Monument

By @kakibot

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!

Address: E. Princes St Gardens, Edinburgh EH2 2EJ, United Kingdom
