No, I was a bit lower in elevation. I haven't been to Philly in well over 50 years, but I don't remember seeing any snow capped mountains visible in any direction.
It's a bit closer to him than it was to me, but then I lived in south Florida at the time of visit. I had been there before in about 1971 during a 10000 mile road trip around the US and Canada. We visited the site of the 1967 Worlds Fair, called “Man and His World.” It remained open for a long time after 1967. We then headed west.
Do you know how many Fort Georges there are?
Here is one:
Here is another a bit closer to home:
Oh well, I took my best guess. 🙂 There is a lot of coastline in Scotland. I will try one more guess and say west coast since it is quite rocky. Not Oban nor Craignure nor Fionnphort nor Iona, and now I am out of places that I have seen on that coast.
I am sure the advice was "Go West, Young Man". 🙂
But I know what this is:
That's Napoleonic Fort.
We have one in Portsmouth. Fort Cumberland.
Actually we decided to build a more mobile gun platform. The greatest battleship in the World. HMS Warrior (1860). Built by Thames Ironworks. Nobody ever took it on.

It sounds like you are describing the observation deck.of Place Ville Marie in your clues?
Well... often, actually (I'm a student pilot). 😀 But seriously, I know what you mean.
I'm gonna' go out on a limb here and say Seattle.
And speaking of Scotland, for some strange reason I've always wanted to visit John O'Groats.

I had to Google that one. It does fit the description in direction and elevation, but we went a bit further west, Victoria kind of west. This road trip took the whole summer and spanned 8000 to 10,000 miles. A little digging revealed that we took the long roar trip in 1969 or 1970. Just my mom, the three kids, a tent and a station wagon. She got mad at my dad, took us kids and disappeared for the summer.
That would be the right limb. Those pictures were taken from the Space Needle, 605 feet above Seattle's City Center. The funny looking multi colored building in the looking down photo is the "Experience Music Project" by Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft. I spent a whole day there, far more hands on and educational than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This trip was via airplane from Fort Lauderdale in 2012.

Ok but do you know where that "Napoleonic Fort" is? Also known as the Warden of the North. No shot ever fired in anger, because also nobody ever took it on (though German uboats lurked outside the harbour in the 1940s).

That's the Brontë House in Haworth, Yorkshire, England.
The statue shown earlier depicts Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë.
