Scott Monument

Yeah, but it is like that.

It's like Edinburgh, and you'll get to see the big Scott monument next to the castle, which is incredible.

Yeah, we'll also be doing a Scottish cooking class.

I hope we don't have to do it.

But other than that [laughs] life was, life was really good.

Um, I've got the, uh, the, our, our listeners won't be able to see this, to see this, but I actually have the, the Scott Monument on my-

Yeah

... uh, on my arm.

So James VI, the 13-month-old king that we are told about from 400 years ago, born in a castle and loved witchcraft.

So we can see how close this all is to the Scott Monument.

And right down the street, we just have palace after palace after palace.

Have we found a place that is a better example of the old world that's possibly taking over my number one spot over Budapest? This place is incredible.

They hold these competitions to construct massive palaces that last forever, palaces that you don't see being constructed today in any of our towns.

Yet they were just supposedly throwing them together all over the place, over and over and over.

Built in just six years from 1896 to 1902, so the exact same amount of time that it took to build the statue over at Scott Monument.

I definitely wanna stay here in this hotel one day in the near future, and if I do, I'll make sure to share all about it.

It's unlike the...

the Scott Monument, which has lots and lots of statues on it.

These statues are from, well, it contains mythic people as well as actual historic figures.

But in the case of the Portrait Gallery, this is far more serious.
