This tower seems somewhat left out from Edinburgh's top attractions despite being just a five minute walk from the Balmoral!
Set on a hill that is already as high as the tip of the Scott Monument, this tower adds another hundred or so feet to the view to offer the best panorama in Edinburgh city. You can see the Forth bridge, all over the city and much more plus the stairs are far more spacious than those of the Scott Monument.
Do both if you can but this is a better choice if you only want to do one.
