Great video Ed. Enjoyed that.

It's a stereo microphone, so you get stereo wind Then Ed as I was expecting, you gave a stereo grin... No wonder I'm your favourite Aussie follower!

Ed if you feel the bottom of the box on the crossing there is a knob that rotates. It is for the visually impaired, so when they feel it rotating they know the lights are in their favour and they can cross. Sometimes if you turn it it can quicken up the lights in your favour to cross.

A rather curmudgeonly video Eddie, but an important one nonetheless! Chinese woman driver; Chinese lightbulbs in the crossings; Chinese students in the flats. Bendy Chinese steel lamposts...😂

Quite right Ed another good video. Pavements should be for pedestrians and there should be no cyclists on them yet we see this violated every day. Another bummer is when idiots park delivery vehicles and cars etc. at bus stops which are clearly defined by road markings. They do these things for the simple reason that they know there is no effective enforcement so this crap will just continue.

I can completely relate to your point on cars expecting you to get out of their way. It happened to me when I had a bad back and was crossing a side road, a car sped around the corner and I couldn’t move quickly out of the way so they had to slam on the brakes. Had the nerve to have a go at me as well.

I'm glad you are ok Ed. Too close for comfort though. You have raised some interesting points.

I noticied behind the bar the old gent was handwashing those glasses, wonder if they have a glass wash. Love this series of showing old pubs/breweries, being a bartender myself, it's very well done by you Ed. Long time watcher here thank you👋

Scotch Pies not Melton Mowbray

I remember when there was a push to manuf in UK, M& S declared they sold mostly UK clothes. That was 1980s. We had to buy British, even cars!

If only there was a Lidl at the top of that hill!

i sometimes i feel i need flashing neon lights when i walk across the road

You come across like someone who has an issue with Chinese people

Cyclists should be made to have a bell to warn pedestrians of their presence.

Yes not an event we'll forget. As a subscriber I think their algorithms are working overtime randomnly selecting from your archive 😊 A good thing in a way as I would have missed them.

Hi Ed This walk round Inveraray randomly popped up on my RUclips this morning. Stunning views and a visit to add to my list. Cheers

The road layout on the south side of the squinty bridge is absolutely atrocious and is an ongoing risk to all road users and pedestrians. Another example of how out of touch and incapable the people making decisions for the city are.

Was expecting the pedestrain crossing (or rather lack thereof) at the Thornwood roundabout to come up since you are so close! Absolute nightmare.

Pedestrians already on the road have right of way, jaywalking isn’t a thing in UK, but I know what you mean about not wanting to compete with hunk of metal

Just slap their bonnet Ed and say "I'm walking here" no need to raise yer blood pressure mate have some fun with your old age ffs

I just checked Google Maps and see that you are on the other side of the Clyde to where my grandparents lived in Linthouse in the 50's and 60's. I used to love going there for the school holidays from our home town of Alloa! We have the same problem with bikes and pedestrians here in Melbourne. The cyclists get their lycra on and think they are in the Tour de France. We have had a few injuries in our local area.

Nobody seems to indicate anymore!

I enjoy a walk and cycle so have mixed views on shared paths. Most of the time the issue I see is people walking tend to walk in the middle of the path rather than to the side and rarely ever look back to see what's coming. However, when I walked that clyde path and ones in Central Edinburgh there seemed to be a lot of delivery cyclist's zooming around on big electric bikes using the paths as a shortcut of sorts.

I have a real problem with the infrastructure in Glasgow in terms of public transport and pedestrian walkways. There's no consideration at all for pedestrians, only bikes and cars.

Excellent video Ed. Delighted you gave mention to the coal industry. Lanarkshire was riddled with pits long before the iron and steel mills arrived. One of my grandfathers was a miner the other worked in Colvilles then Anderson Boyes (A-Bees). Xmas dinners were always interesting. One point of note tho:- beit spelt Dalzell, Dalziel or Dalzyell, its pronounced Dee - ell.

I was pretty much ready to blame any increase in deaths on phone zombies (walking and driving). That and confusion about updates to the highway code that don't quite grasp how physics works. Have travelled a lot. UK generally better than many. Street lighting exists, pavements don't change at every building you go past. In the US it felt like you needed a car to cross the road.

Hi Ed, you said about white lines-think a white stick may be necesssary for pedestrians in Glasgow 😢🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It seems to be the same everywhere Ed. A lot of people don't know , or maybe care, how to drive properly. People on their phones while driving, speeding and jumping red lights. In Edinburgh there are so many cycling routes created with little or no thought for pedestrians. The canal used.to he a nice walk but cyclists have spoiled that now. Pedestrians seem to have been forgotten.

Good to see you went back to Corrour and got a great day for it too. Nice shot of Ben Nevis at around 10:58 . Cheers .

The walkway at the Clyde there is so narrow, but vast amounts of land doing nothing right behind it.

i chuffing hate pedestrains, but i hate everyone in all the other cars too

Spot On Ed 🫡 Walking through the City Centre is horrendous with these guys bombing around on electric bikes, delivering takeaway food to students etc. Must be huge amounts of accidents to pedestrians that don’t get flagged up.

Unfortunately a lot of drivers believe that the roads belong solely to them. Also as the pedestrian is the one that would get hurt, its up to them to look out for themselves.

This is full on Victor Meldrew, but I must agree.

Meantime, wear a dayglo jacket and carry your own full size 'lollipop'!

It's a cultural deficiency in the UK - in Denmark the pedestrian has the right in built up areas, and one has to wonder why this isn't the case everywhere, the sanctities of life are supplanted by the needs of the motor car. Perhaps the decision makers ought to spend a month out of their cars and find out in a first hand 'fact-finding' study to see what they are 'delivering' for the good people of the land. Not saying it will be easy to deliver infrastructure which is safe for pedestrians, but as they say, the longest journey begins with a single step. Everyone needs to respect other fellow travellers, be they on foot, bicycle or vehicle.

For me it's not that pedestrians don't matter, it's the inbuilt assumption that the motor vehicle is all that matters.

A great video, but very sad too! The company that I served my engineering apprenticeship ship with was right next to the Craig , Anderson Boyes, which also is sadly long gone,

it seems to be ,the more lycra the cyclist wears, the more aggressive and selfish they are

If u cant walk across a road without knomib what way the traffic is going u should use the crossings, common sense really 🤷🏼‍♂️ u just sound like a angry old man. Get a grip

The canal line has the world's oldest railway bridge that go's over the white cart river which of course was originally built for the canal. 🙂

I am from Leith, Edinburgh and the 'Cripgate' is not correct, it is the Kirkgate. Lovely photos.

Thanks for highlighting this Ed. Glasgow is a tangle of roads. A deadly legacy of building infrastructure around cars not people. Now the council can’t seem to maintain the basics of what they inflicted upon the city. There are so many pedestrian crossings with lights that don’t work.

Hello there. Your videos are always interesting, but some are just depressing. Sometimes it seems as if pedestrians are ricocheting all over the place. Walking is also a death-defying experience here in Ontario. AND NOBODY DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT! The only solution I have found is to fantasize about flame-throwers. BIG ONES!

I was walking along the pavement minding my own business in West end. A kid on her bike ran right into the back of me. Mother on her bike also on pavement only concerned about welfare of her daughter. My knee never been the same! 😡

E bikes should be banned from pavements / pedestrianised zones. Sauchiehall Street is a NIGHTMARE.

Check out Not Just Bikes, he's an expert on the topic

Well highlighted. Stick to the mountains no one to spoil your day there

You are performing a much needed public service...especially for folks who are visiting.

I've stopped using the shared paths on disused railway paths on the north side of Edinburgh for the same reason. I find it impossible to relax knowing that at any moment a fast moving cyclist, some of them on electric bikes, could come flying up from behind. Not helped by the fact that, counter to common sense, almost everybody walks and cycles on the left, when it would make more sense for pedestrians to walk on the right to face incoming cyclists.
