I love your videos and have been watching for a couple of months as I plan my June vacation to Edinburgh. First of all, I’m pretty sure water came out of my nose when you tripped at the end because I was mid-drink and started laughing. However I had to comment and say that one of the things I like about the videos is that you are so relatable and when I watch I feel like I’m listening to a friend tell me about Edinburgh. The thing that cemented my forever admiration of Clan Broonford is the fact that you believe Muppet Christmas Carol is the best adaptation of a Christmas Carol. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but anyone who doesn’t agree is wrong 😂 Keep making great videos so I can live vicariously through you. Much love to you and the rest of the Clan. ❤️
WIfe and I visit Edinburgh for a weekend at least once a year, often twice, and thought we'd seen it all and knew it all until I found this quality series of videos. Actually watched a load of them back to back the other night instead of the telly! Coming back when this flippin lock down is over, much to see now.
Your videos are getting addictive. We just moved to Balerno from Warwickshire 2 years ago - hubby was born in the Simpson Memorial then cruelly moved to Aberdeen aged 8. He finally returned home aged 49. I love Edinburgh and how your showing it off without it being hurdy gurdy worthy boring.
I just found your videos last week. Doing research for my trip in 2019. I'm visiting Ireland, Scotland and England for a 4 week holiday. I Can't wait. And your videos are making me more excited. I've been binge watching for two days now. (obviously not 24 hours, I do have to work). But your videos are Amazing. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. Yes please, continue making more videos. The closes, food, all the hints, tricks and shortcuts. I'll watch anything you create. Wow, just wow!! Keep it up. Thank you!! May God Bless you and your Family!
Absolutely fantastic!! You are the best Scottish vlogger on RUclips! You weave the stories, architecture, wit, and wisdom. I will be in Edinburgh in October and will definitely be checking out all the places you have vlogged. Thanks for the shout out and my favorite line from A Muppets Christmas Carol, "Light the lamp and not the rat"! Have a beautiful day my friend and I look forward to seeing you both on your videos.
Found your video because I watched the movie Graeyfriers Boby by Walt Disney. And I really enjoy your other videos thank you for that wonderful history looking forward to seeing more
Loving the Scottish history, it's fairly new to me. Very, very interesting. I love Abraham Lincoln and am very eager to learn as much as possible. Thank you for sharing. ♾️
ohhhh man, you make me laugh. first i see all your videos. second thanks for not cut that scene out at the end. oohhh man that was sooo funny to see your face. thanks for making me laugh Mr.Broonfords.
What wonderful stories! Thank you so much for sharing! I can't wait to see Abraham Lincoln in person this October. It is incredible to me that there would be a statue of him in another country.
Hi from Oz. 🐨 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful city with us. I visited in 2013, with my daughter and am so excited to be returning to Edingburgh for 3 days next year, during a trip back to Scotland, with my Hubby, who hasn't been before. Cant wait to show him the most beautiful country I know. Thanks for the tip about the Scottish history section of the mueseum. When visiting other countries, I'm only interested in local history. So that will save time. Keep up your good work entertaining and educating us. 🇦🇺
Thank you so much for video.I been to Edinburgh last week with my bf.Its just so beautiful n architecture city I ever seen in the world.So many history n so many stories.I love it.We stayed at small village named Abedour.Such a beautiful n small village as well😁😁😁😁😍😍😍
Your story telling abilities and sense of humour are awesome. The little coffin's feature in both Ian Rankin's book "The Falls" and a Rebus TV episode. Speaking of which maybe you could do a Rebus's Edinburgh video it would take you from The Oxford bar on Young Street to his flat on Arden Street, Flesmarket Close to Saint Leonards, Fettes etc. A must do for your tea room video for me would be Forsyth's tea room on Chalmers close. It's a tiny little room with maybe 6 tables. Christina the lady that owns it is just wonderful (she is a real Grandmotherly type) and the food is wonderful.
Charles Dickens found the gravestone of Ebenezer Scroggie in the Canongate Kirk and misread it as a 'mean man' when it actually said a 'meal man'. Love your videos of Edinburgh ❤
Wow there ye are ? You know alot better than I did about the window tax Haha, lapping up aw these stories and info about our home city Tony a great ambassador you are ma man 👍🙂
I have been watching your videos. We are planning a visit to Scotland in September 2021. I am using your videos to help with deciding what to do .I am enjoying them very much. There will be 6 of us brother and sisters. I hope to learn enough from you to plan a good time in Edinburgh.It would be great to meet you when we are there
Coffee came out my nose when you fell off that step 🤣🤣 Fingers crossed tightly.. i am going to get to Edinburgh next year... a nice 3 day break from my UK visit 😁 From NZ
In the mid 1990s I was in Edinburgh several times and saw the Maiden at it's old location in the Antiquities Museum in New Town on a couple of occasions. Each time I had a really strange feeling around it, but I shrugged it off as it was a device that had been used for executions. Around 2000 a cousin finished an extensive family genealogy and when I got my copy I learned that Godfrey McCulloch, the last person executed on the Maiden, was an eight times great uncle.
I love coming to Edinburgh, I have been a few times during the fringe. As a comedy junkie it is the perfect holiday for me. I have been also outside of the fringe to do the tourist things. I would to take a month off work and properly tour around Scotland. If life would let me I probably would move to Edinburgh as I love the city so much.
Your videos are different class. Every single one of them. I stay in West Lothian but love Edinburgh. But after watching your videos you’ve given me so much more ideas for days out. This is one of my favourite videos you’ve done. Along with the series on the closes of the royal mile. One thing I will say though. You didn’t show us the grave of ebenezer scroogey 😂😂 Also the fall at the end of this video was hilarious. By humans
I really enjoy your videos...I absolutely love Edinburgh💗..it’s one of my three favourite cities in the UK and probably my favourite in the world!( my other favourites in the UK are Inverness and London...)...and this video was awesome.... loved the stories and would love more similar videos😊🌸
Dickens got a lot of his names from gravestones, I live in Rochester in Kent all about Dickens, great expectations and all that loads in the cathedral graveyard .totally agreed about Muppets Christmas Carol. Love this video how cool and creepy are them little dolls!
I really like watching your videos, they make me even more excited for visiting Edinburgh again in a couple of months! (Though I won't just be visiting, I'll studying there for a year, which is even better because it gives me more time to explore the city)
Been watching your videos for about 1 month now, seen them all and love them all! Because of them, we are now going back to Edinburgh for the 4th time in 5 years! So if i see you there i will buy you a beer. Keep up the amazing work!
Great stuff! Love the history in your videos. Edinburgh in itself oozes it. I just arrived home tonight from our weeklong trip but I can tell you that I absolutely fell in love with the charm and ease of Edinburgh and the absolute gorgeous beauty of Scotland. We definitely did not have enough time. I’m definitely going back. Maybe my list was a bit lofty because while I wanted to see things I also wanted to be able to meander around and relax but we did not finish my list. From the old history of Edinburgh to the stunningly gorgeous Highlands then to the calm beauty of Ayrshire, I was heartbroken to leave. I did get sunburn pretty badly though! 😅
Omg! I absolutely love your videos. I'm going to wow my friends today when I tell them about those dolls. And I promise, if I see anyone rubbing Bobbys (Bobbies)? nose, I'll yell Tony said don't touch the nose lmao! I wonder if you could do a video on authentic Scottish souvenirs but not the obvious ones or touristy ones. Must be travel friendly. Maybe small locally handcrafted. If that's not a video idea, than can you list a couple in comments please. I trust you now lol. We're friends now. I even call you Tony lol! Can't wait for your next video.
September it is starting to head back to winter. There may be some random nice days but probably overcast, but rain and wind..... but it is Scotland, so expect anything.
Have ye done the story of Thomas Aikenhead the last man to be hanged in Britain for blasphemy? He was hanged at age 20 in 1697 at Gallowlea between Edinburgh and Leith.
Your videos are very helpful and interesting 🙂 my husband and I are traveling to Edinburgh in July and I was thinking... What should we wear if we want to blend in? And is pickpocketing and theft a big thing in Edinburgh?

Amanda Gates thank you so much, it means so much that you enjoy our videos. Hope we help and you have a great visit next year.
You my friend are a natural raconteur and a valuable resource to Edinburgh's history.
These videos are so educational for visitors and locals alike.

Muppet Christmas carol is household tradition for us on Christmas eve.
Not sure how I missed this but it was great. I didn't realize the coffins were that tiny.
Brilliant tony..keep up the great work...ggtthb..
GREAT VIDEO KEEP IT UP STAY SAFE
Thanks 👍
I really like watching your videos, they make me even more excited for visiting Edinburgh again in a couple of months! (Though I won't just be visiting, I'll studying there for a year, which is even better because it gives me more time to explore the city)
Love the stories. If you know a psychic,...I will love to know the story behind the 17 little coffins.
Best video yet of yours. Too funny, and educational. Ill be in Edinburgh next week, love to buy you a pint.
Thanks for the shout out on the Tea Room suggestion, it made my day! Keep up the great work, looking forward to more of your videos.
Been watching your videos for about 1 month now, seen them all and love them all! Because of them, we are now going back to Edinburgh for the 4th time in 5 years! So if i see you there i will buy you a beer. Keep up the amazing work!

Sunburnt in Scotland. It’s almost a miracle. Glad you had a great time👍
Independent blogger.
Tea room meet up lol
Do you think thats where the name Iron Maiden came from?
I think its just a cool coincidence.
A comment for the Algo boost!
Omg! I absolutely love your videos. I'm going to wow my friends today when I tell them about those dolls. And I promise, if I see anyone rubbing Bobbys (Bobbies)? nose, I'll yell Tony said don't touch the nose lmao! I wonder if you could do a video on authentic Scottish souvenirs but not the obvious ones or touristy ones. Must be travel friendly. Maybe small locally handcrafted. If that's not a video idea, than can you list a couple in comments please. I trust you now lol. We're friends now. I even call you Tony lol! Can't wait for your next video.
I would also love to know more about nice souvenirs that aren't the typical touristy ones! I really like this idea!
I have another question. What's the weather like in September on average.
September it is starting to head back to winter. There may be some random nice days but probably overcast, but rain and wind..... but it is Scotland, so expect anything.
Have ye done the story of Thomas Aikenhead the last man to be hanged in Britain for blasphemy? He was hanged at age 20 in 1697 at Gallowlea between Edinburgh and Leith.
We had Soldiers that fought for Abraham Lincoln, Why have i never heard about that lol
I know, Its random isn't it.
Your videos are very helpful and interesting 🙂 my husband and I are traveling to Edinburgh in July and I was thinking... What should we wear if we want to blend in? And is pickpocketing and theft a big thing in Edinburgh?
BTW, I was subscriber number 666 😐😛
William Fallow haha 😂
