I remember when I lived in the temple just north of Anniesland cross cycling in towards the town centre across one of the bridges and back down river along the river and not having enough money for a ferry back over the river so we decided to go down the south rotunda (bit of a pain carrying the bikes down all the stairs) through the tunnel and out the north rotunda and head home not bad for 10 or 11 year old boys around 1960/1961.

Greetings form Stirling and my 14th great grandfather Sir James Balfour probably helped Mary’s favourite, James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, arrange the murder of her husband, Lord Darnley (Feb. 9/10, 1567). When the Protestant lords rebelled against Mary and Bothwell-by then her husband-in June 1567. Darnley kept his wines in the restaurant where you are eating!

My granny used to work in the office ed don’t know if you know her from your time at the brewery?

Think you must have been smoking something when you made this 😂

I remember growing up in Edinburgh in the late 50s early 60s and the constant smell of hops.

Hi Ed. My dad worked for Scottish and Newcastle at their Holyrood HQ for many years. He actually lived opposite it too in the grey 1960's buildings that are still opposite the new parliament. Great memories of Holyrood being a brewery mecca. He also worked over at Croft n Righ, also owned by the brewery. Great videos you've made. My dad (also Ed!) would have loved watching these ❤😊👍

I stopped to watch an artist on the steps of the tenement overlooking the canal basin 1959, he seemed to have found something worthy of canvas and paint. Wonder we're that painting is now!.

My great-grandfather George Young was born in Scotland and became a prisoner. As a prisoner, he was placed into the bottom of a ship to be banished to the island of Australia. But he escaped and jumped ship off the coast of South Africa. He ended up in a concentration camp during the English Boer war. He fell in love with the daughter of a prominent lawyer Scanlan and Scanlan, their marriage was frowned upon by Johanna Margaretta Gertrude Scanlan's father because George was a prisoner. Their son James William Peace Young was my grandfather. I would love to know what crime George committed to land him in prison.

Hi Ed. I absolutely love your work. Your an inspiration. Keep these videos coming, don't stop! Brilliant ❤ Mikey from Musselburgh.

Thanks for this enjoyable dander and gander. Did not know Stanley Mills, Perth, existed. A pie and a pint on me, Ed :) Mx

This is my second watch - shame on Glasgow - Edinburgh would never have let this go so far in disrepair

Another excellent video thanks Ed. Certainly a nice place to visit on such a pleasant day.

its the very same in balloch the public tolets were shut on sat good job the co op was open to use thier tolets

This film reminds me of our family holidays, always taken in the second half of October- the end of the Tourist Season. Our folks had chalets and a caravan site, so we were never away in Summer. Wandering around the outside of visitor attractions, which were always closed for the Winter season. Sitting somewhere with a Scotch pie from Burnetts the bakers would be the highlight of a trip to Inverness or Perth. An epic journey by van to the Isle of Mann was classic. The entire island seemed to be closed.

Really enjoyed this one, Ed, the ending was great😊👏

Used to visit Crieff often Ed. Your footage of the high street showed quite a number of premises for sale, last time I was there it seemed so many local businesses were closed or closing. Now I hear that the Drummond Arms is to be demolished. Such a shame, and it seems to be happening all over. Cheers, another good video.

🔷🔷 IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE SWITCH THE 'STABLE VOLUME' SETTING OFF, SO YOU HEAR THE VIDEO AS I INTENDED, WITH THE MUSIC (ESPECIALLY AT THE END) LOUDER THAN GENERAL SPEECH. THANK YOU. 🔷🔷

Some boy Ed keepit up you're a great watch/personality

Really enjoy all your videos. Your music is wonderful, I enjoy your patter and the beautiful scenery that you lead us to. Thank you

Thanks again ed. That was enjoyable and the scenery magic. Good music. Cheers and good fortune.

I certainly agree with your rant about bakers. in France to call themselves a boulangerie a baker must oversee the baking process themselves and not just resell products, it means the quality in France is much better than other countries.

Good crieff🙀 good wee video, nice tune👍

wouldnt entertain supermarket cheap bread must be good quality and never put in a shopping bag either, I like my bread whole not crushed lol

not been in Crieff for years :) my brother was a manager in an Indian Resteraunt (sp) aye white man lol

Thanks for sharing this

Your right , that wasn't the summit of the knock you will need to go back 😅 Crieff has a very good bakery , it's called Damsel Bakery , but guess what , it's closed on a Monday 😂 There is also a new pastry bakery opening up soon maybe they will do sausage rolls for you 🤔😅

Well done Ed for making it up the 793 foot Knock of Crieff. Once the centre of the universe, but ruined by a blinkered SNP led area Council.. The very useless path you retreated upon cost tens of thousands of pounds and turned an unspoilt haven into a regular play park of clutter and gravel. A muddy path has more memories in my opinion.

Thanks a lot Eddy, great views of the hills and the colours of Autumn. I like the look of the town too. Well done gettin oot the hoose. It's funny but with the supermarkets came many benefits , my dad went to Massey's every Friday night and came back with an big box full of stuff and as they were full time workers my parents had limited time for shopping so it helped a lot, but like you say the food quality has gone out the bottom and it's hard to get enough nutrition. Which I suppose accounts for the huge increase in illness in society. One thing that troubles me as well is that we were outside playing a lot as kids, and this was a great contributer to our health : fresh air, and contact with nature. Too many kids are stuck in front of a telly or playing computer games- it's tragic.

Hi Ed, no Public Toilets,no Bakers, not many buses…we’re doomed. However the scenery was glorious thank you🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Glad to hear your better sir. Lovely little video. Will need to tip to the town sometime How about a Clyde video with the Clyde coast all way down to say Stranraer or shipwrecks.

Thanks Ed all the best from Edinburgh have a great Christmas when it comes.

Really enjoyed this walk, Ed. The music was perfect. Thanks, Lynn in Naples FL😎

'The Fat Lassies of Stirling' , one of Burns' finest 🤣

About Crieff, from the book, "The Intelligent Traveller's Guide to Historic Scotland", by Philip Axtell Crowl -- "Highland agriculture never rose much above the level of bare subsistence and was certainly insufficiently productive to allow tenants to pay the rents demanded by landlords or by the "tacksmen" who held large pieces of property under lease or "tack" from the great landowners to whom they were often related by blood. Rents, in most cases, were paid out of the sale of black cattle, possibly two or three per year by each tenant. Late in the summer these rugged but scrawny beasts would be gathered into herds by drovers and driven to the great annual cattle tryst at Crieff in Perthshire or, later (after about 1770), to the tryst held three times a year near Falkirk Certain traditional routes--the so-called drove roads--converged onto one or both of these centrally located entrepots from all parts of the Highlands and Islands. (From the out Hebrides the cattle normally went by open boat to Skye, where they were roped in tandem and forced to swim across Kyle Rhea to the mainland.) By 1723 as many as 30, 000 beasts a year were being driven south to the great fair of Crieff, and before the traffic ended in the mid-nineteenth century, an estimated 150,000 head were sold at Falkirk. The buyers were mostly English, who then drove the cattle further south-ward to the rich grazing grounds of Northumberland or Yorkshire for fattening before final butchery. High on their list of consumers were the British Army and Navy, with their virtually insatiable demand for salted beef. from 1739 to 185, Britain was involved in an almost continuous series of wars with France and her allies, and the steady rise in the price of cattle was in direct proportion to the expansion of the armed forces. And far away from the battlefields of Europe or from the distant seas where the Royal Navy fought its many engagements, the simple Highland peasant year after year turned over a fraction of his tiny herd to the drover, pocketed a few pounds in exchange, and paid the rent."

Hi my great..?grandmother was married at Knocknamuckley church Ireland, which means hill of the pigs. There is a lot of knocks, you must keep climbing them! Atb

Nice wee hill 🗻that is a knock is a small hill Gaelic word is cnoc... 😊 good vid Ed here's the knock bog ----> 🚽

Another interesting wee upload. Cheers. What's the difference between a dander (pronounced "don'er) and a saunter? Or are they one and the same?

Thanks Ed that was fun🤠

Love from Dundalk❤ Eddie. Kind regards Niall O'Connell Eire.

Hi Ed, enjoyed the video. I live fairly near there. We went on a trip there a couple of years ago with the local Archaeologist, Fiona Baker. She said Carman was a horse goddess, the site was dedicated to her. It was used as a trading post with Romans etc., and ties in with the crannog at Dumbuck, a few miles away. It was probably not permanently occupied. On the other side of the Carman Road, just above the reservoir, you may have noticed n area with 5 big sycamore trees. This was the site of the old Carman Fair, used for horse trading, and existing until the early C20th.

a great little pub, have a blether, or sit and reminisce. 👍

Wonderful information and insights! I love your genuine 👌 efforts. Awesome channel 😊 P.S. Can you list what the music is? It's phenomenal

Astonishing to see the original Clutha bar building as it was and that the ground floor is still there on the corner by the Clyde

pity lots of scotland was de forrested by landowners for sheep and deer and plantations for wood

I can remember walking through McEwans Brewery as a child with my father. The smell was magical and seemed to linger long after it ceased operating. The site sat inactive too, and parts of it are still bare yards even now. At least a good school building has come from it

Thanks Ed , left for Canada '76 .Thanks for the memories .

I always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

I must have missed this one when it came out. I used to get the govan passenger ferry when visiting my granny in the early sixties. Years later I found myself on a John Elder boiler plated passenger Ferry across the bospherus, I felt right at home.

I used to be a Werewolf but Im alright NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Nice wee funny video Ed 👍

Sad to hear our own little Joke shop Tam Shepherds is closing down. Scotlands oldest joke/magic shop ! Ed , we need a video ✊🏼
