Answer

The Scott Monument is the historic monument located in Edinburgh.
The correct answer is the Scott Monument because it is a historic Victorian gothic landmark located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and was built specifically to commemorate the Scottish author Sir Walter Scott.

Step-by-Step Solution

Identify the specific landmark associated with Edinburgh and a famous author.
