New subscriber, an American expat in the E.U. I'm so looking forward to my next visit to Scotland, as my roots go allll the way back to King Malcolm Canmore and Queen/St. Margaret in fabulous-beautiful-historic Edinburgh. Thank you for the well-chosen, erudite stroll down memory lane. Well done.
And thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you're enjoying watching the video walks - there are so many places to discover around the world - if only we could fit it all into one lifetime :)
I know Londoners will always say wonderful things about their great city, but Edinburgh is something truly special and fascinating! The history, culture, architecture, and incredible atmosphere is something to treasure. Thanks so much for this beautiful, high quality and well produced tour!
I love Edinburgh ... I am a Canadian who has been living in Cambridge UK but having visited / stayed in Edinburgh several times know I would far rather be there than here! People in Scotland have real manners ...
Edinburgh really is a gorgeous place - and you're right about the people of Scotland, a proud and welcoming people indeed :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
I lived in Edinburgh for 10 years at the end of the last century. It is a wonderful city. The clip brought back many memories and you were fortunate to have filmed it on a dry-weather day. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻,
You certainly are fortunate to have lived in such an amazing city for so long - I've only ever been to Edinburgh as a visitor, but it's quite the wonderful place, especially when the sun is shining as it fortunately was on this day :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some memories of Edinburgh for you!
It's such a beautiful city, and without doubt full of lovely people! I hope you get the chance to return in the near future - Edinburgh is a place like no other :) Grazie mille per aver guardato il video - sono molto felice che ti sei piaciuta :)
Does anybody else remember the Waverley Market (changed to the Princes Mall and is now called Waverley mall) in the 80's and early 90's? It was beautiful, had a big water feature and art sculptures in the center, full of lots of interesting and unique shops and bars down on the bottom level. There was even a guy playing a piano at one point if I remember right. They took the water feature out and tiled over everything in the 90's to cram in lots of fast food places and a sea of plastic chairs, all the interesting shops started to leave as high street shopping went into decline. To me it symbolizes more than any other place the decline of the shopping mall as not only a place to shop but a place to gather and socialize.
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - you're very lucky to call Edinburgh home, and it's the kind of place that sticks long in the memory even when you're away from there :) Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
yea, great video! I have been living in this city for more than 5yrs now and I love it ✌ *last time I went to see a new shopping centre that took 5 yrs to build and did short video about it.
It's been a long time since I was there - 1991. I'm glad to see Deacon Brodie's Tavern is still there. When I was there, the rugby world cup was on, and I nipped into the pub for a cold one. There were two guys sitting at the bar watching a game on TV. Being Canadian, I knew nothing about the game, but they took the time to fill me in on what was happening. I spent a couple of days there, touring the city. As for the Burns link, on that same trip, I was searching out some family ghosts in Dumfries, and found out that's were Burns died. He was an exciseman there. There's a pub called The Old Globe Inn where he drank. They have a chair with a bronze plaque on it saying "The Poet's Chair". I visited his final resting spot in the graveyard. It's amazing to think how much work these people put out at such an early age. Burns died at 37.
Fascinating to hear all that from you! The city must have been full of life during the Rugby World Cup - and you can always find a friendly face or two to watch a match with in the pubs of Edinburgh! I've never been to Dumfries before - so I think that'll have to be a future walk with the fascinating history you've just told us about, that's quite the knowledge you have of Burns' later years! It is amazing as you say how much of an impact these men had in such short lives - Robert Fergusson only lived until he was 24! Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this walk around Edinburgh, it's always lovely to hear your thoughts on different towns and cities around the country :)
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - Edinburgh certainly is a wonderful city and a magnificent capital for one of the world's greatest countries - Scotland!
I lived in the Scottish Borders near Peebles for a while and used to visit Edinburgh! I loved Scotland and really enjoyed my time living there. Thank you for bringing the good memories from this time back again!
It's a wonderful place to have so near to your home! I'm sure those visits to Edinburgh were absolutely wonderful - and I'm sure your time in Scotland was too :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some nice memories of the city for you!
I have so much memorys of Edinburgh that i dont know where i shall begin , but i know that Edinburgh was one of the beautiful Citys that i had seen in my life ! Our Guide has told us some Ghost Storys while our sightseeing , it was very cool to be in Edinburgh , and the highlight was of course Edinburgh Castle with the spectacular view over the Firth of Forth !
Ooh you certainly had a great trip in Edinburgh back then it seems! The city is a magnificent place and with its spooky ghost history and the marvellous views from up on high by Edinburgh Castle - there really are few places quite as spectacular :)
Thank you for this wonderful video of Edinburgh. "a city like no other". I lived and worked there for several years before I emigrated to Canada. So much history and beauty. She is in my heart always.
I couldn't have put it better myself! Edinburgh really is a magical place, and you're very lucky to have spent so much time there - I've only ever been as a visitor. But you're right, there's so much history and beauty to the city, and there really is no place like it :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
This is the most beautiful and well done Edinburgh Walking video I’ve seen on RUclips! It’s really brilliant! I love how crisp the video is and all the information ℹ️ on the bottom. I feel like I’m actually there. 🌟
Wow! That's so kind of you to say! I'm really glad you enjoyed this epic walk through Edinburgh - there's just so much to see in the city and so much history to explore that, and it makes for a fascinating stroll no matter how long it may go on for :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - it really means a lot to hear!
@@LetsWalkUK March 2020 my flight from U.S. was canceled because of pandemic 😷. I was upset 😭 tried again this year but still I have to quarantine for 10 days to inter UK.. next year I’ll make it there. my dream city..
@@ChrisJohnsonChannel Oh no! So sorry to hear about that - I'm sure you'll make it over to Edinburgh sooner rather than later, and then the trip will feel all the more special :)
Beautiful city, wonderful place, oozing with history, Yeah, yeah, yeah, heard it all before. But wait. In the case of Edinburgh it's absolutely true. So much to see and do. You have to go back many times to scratch the surface of this magnificent City. I've been coming here on and off since I was 11 and I'm now 63. I come up to Scotland from Manchester about twice a year and will do so until I am no longer able.A great place with a great capital city.
Couldn't have put it better myself! There are so many places around the country and even the world full of amazing history, but there are few cities quite as magical as Edinburgh, with such an illustrious history that could have you exploring for days, or years as you prove with something new always to be found :) I hope you continue your trips to Edinburgh for as long as you can - it's certainly an amazing city and one I look forward to returning to in the future! Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Absolutely agreed! There are few places quite so jam-packed with history and stunning urban scenery, not to mention the thriving energy from the Royal Mile to Princes Street and everything in between :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, it means a lot to hear!
Thank you❣️. My vivid memories of Edinburgh when I was a teenager was of a story book fascinating place... even in my dreams. As an adult I now see a STUNNING city...
Even though I have been to Edinburgh 3 times your video has shown me so much I have not seen! Thank you for your smooth, easy to view video. Your caption comments are easy to read, so appreciated. I look forward to more.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it showed you some interesting things you might have missed on your many trips to Edinburgh :) And thank you very much for your kind words on the caption comments - it really means a lot to hear!
I hope you get the chance to return soon! It's a spectacular city that always has an allure no matter how long you've been away :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Great walk and tour in Edinburgh city of Scotland. It's a very beautiful city and historical. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to your next walk. 😀
Thank you so much! It really is a stunning city and the history is so riveting! I absolutely love visiting Edinburgh and many other places around Scotland - it's a great country :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you're enjoying the walks!
It certainly is! A long walk around Edinburgh is absolutely magical with all the scenery and history - though it can be very tiring without a doubt (especially climbing up from where Nor Loch was towards the Royal Mile!) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, it really means a lot to hear!
I do too! There are few places more spectacular in the world - and the mystique of Edinburgh's gorgeous architecture makes it an incredible place to visit and make memories of :)
It certainly is! The contrast of the higgledy-piggledy Old Town and the perfectly-designed New Town makes Edinburgh a place like no other, and on a sunny day, I think 'heavenly' is just the right word to describe it :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Brilliant video!! Thank you! I've been in Edinburgh for short stays twice. My sightseeing didn't even scratch the surface. I need to return to this wonderful city.
Thank you so much! I certainly wouldn't pass up the chance to return to such a wonderful city as Edinburgh, and even this video doesn't scratch the surface of the endless amount of sights and riveting history to be seen in Scotland's stunning capital :) Thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
My great great grandfather actually died in the Edinburgh castle Hospital in November 1920 he was part of the Royal Garrison Artillery. He is buried at Piershill cemetery. Great video. I will visit Edinburgh soon
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is a gorgeous city with so much history to explore :)
I visited Edinburgh twice. And now I can't wait to the 3rd. Very nice and memorable city. Thanks for sharing this video with all the clear explanation and interesting facts
I love taking these walks in Edinburgh with you. Once I discover your videos, I don't miss them. I love Scotland, and my biggest wish is to live in Edinburgh, I live in Brazil, it's hard to go now, but I hope to visit this wonderful city very soon. Thank you for your wonderful tour!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh really is a magnificent city and I'm delighted that this walk gave you a glimpse of a place you're rightly keen on visiting one day - I hope you get the chance one day in the future :)
Ha ha it wouldn't be Scotland without bagpipes! There are lots of bagpipe buskers around Edinburgh, so there are few places better to go if you're looking for that traditional soundtrack :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
How many memories! i lived there from 2001 to 2007, I miss the parks of edinburgh, i miss the scottish people too, i have been back 3/ 4 times since then, just to visit for a week. When i lived in Auld Reekie i used to cycle everywhere, in any weather condition. Arthur Seat, Botanic Gardens, Cramond, Dean Village my favourites
There are few places with architecture quite like it! Thanks to Lord Cockburn and others, we still have the distinct style of the Old Town alongside the majestic buildings of the New Town - it's a truly unique and as you say beautiful place :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos!
My parents and I just watched the whole video... and we loved it so much! Thank you for giving so much information in addition to these amazing views of Edinburgh 👏🏻
It certainly is a fantastic city - and easily one of the most special in the entire world :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I really hope you will get the chance to visit Edinburgh and wider Scotland sooner rather than later! The city really is a spectacular place to visit - as is the whole country :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Ha ha thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is a magnificent city and there's so much history to explore even on a relatively short tour of the city like this :) Thank you so much for watching, and especially for subscribing - it really helps me out!
They really are! Edinburgh has such a distinctive image and it's amazing that the city has retained it so strongly through all these years - there are few places quite as gorgeous :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, it means a lot to hear!
Thank you so much! Edinburgh is so full of history that this walk could have been multiple hours (or even days) long, especially if we'd gone up to Calton Hill to get that stunning view across the city :) Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I love that you insert maps, they help so much to help me get oriented. The captions are also very professional, what great quality this is overall. With COVID and lack of money, virtual travel is the only way these days. Thanks from a new subscriber in San Francisco.
That's very kind of you to say - I'm really glad the video is helping you to travel around the world from the comfort of your own home - places like Edinburgh are always worth seeing :) Thank you for subscribing too - it really helps me out!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is a spectacular city and one of Scotland's very best, do stay tuned for more walks in the country, and thank you so much for subscribing!
Super informative, having the text on the screen may not be for everyone but it helps me (I just pause and read) instead of missing what the guide may have said. I was actually in Edinburgh in 2017 and wish (although its not possible of course) that I had something like this video before I went, instead of just aimlessly wandering which is what we did.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy the text to help the walking tour - pausing along the way is a great way to watch if that helps you out - there's no wrong way to do it :) I'm sure you had a wonderful time in Edinburgh when you visited before - but I do hope this video topped up what you gained when you were there last! Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind comments - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm certainly inclined to agree with you! Edinburgh is a spectacular city and one that's worth visiting again and again and again :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
You'll have a great time! Edinburgh really is a spectacular place - and home to so many sights that you could keep walking for days and days and days, this is the most concise overview I could manage :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for this valuable information. I recently moved to Scotland and while visiting the places I remember your video and it helps me to relate with the information. It helps to understand the culture of country and their belief. Thank you. Love you Scotland 😍
I can feel my lungs expanding as you walk up The Mound. What a gorgeous day you had for filming. Trying to see if I can spot myself shopping along Princes Street, lol. I’ve lived in the area for just 2 and a half years now and I love it.
Ha ha yes and it was a bit of a hot day too - so nice and breathless climbing up to the Old Town! But I'm so glad we managed to capture Edinburgh under the sun on a bustling day like this - there really are few places better in the world :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and perhaps managed to spot yourself somewhere, who knows!
It certainly is! There are few places quite as gorgeous as Edinburgh, especially when the city is shining under the glorious Scottish sun :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Agreed! There are few places quite as beautiful as Edinburgh - and a walk through its gorgeous streets is truly spectacular :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
lol you obviously have never lived there. It's dirty, smelly, scruffy, nothing gets fixed, the government abuses the city locals - that's the facts, no offense, just wanted to tell the truth. Locals can't even get emergency ambulances, they are told to get a taxi to hospital. Yeah Edinburgh sure is beautiful.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is such a gorgeous and fascinating place with so much to explore, and this walk only just scratches the surface :)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is certainly well-known around the world, but there's a lot beneath the surface to uncover on a walk through the Old and New Towns :) Thank you so much for watching!
It certainly is! A spectacular city like no other in the world - I'm sure you had a fabulous time when you visited a few years back :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
What a great leisurely walk with a superb written commentary at just the right pace. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk and proud to have such a beautiful capital city filled with a rich history (and I'm Glaswegian!!!)😁
Ha ha it's just one of the many pieces of hidden heritage around Edinburgh - I'm glad you learned that interesting little fact from this video too :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the walk!
Very much so! There are few places in the world quite as stoic as Scotland, and Edinburgh is a striking symbol of just that - as well as an absolutely beautiful place to visit (which coincidentally the rest of Scotland is too!) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You only got around 7000 subscribers, yet your work is phenomenal.. How do you have so much work for only 7000 persons? It's incredible.. Please, if you can afford it, don't stop making these videos. Good job
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos - I certainly love making them, I've learned so much and been to so many wonderful places!

It really is a beautiful place, and its history is so, so fascinating! Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video and the interesting information about Edinburgh :)
Thank you so much for this video and for this format!))) I could just enjoy an actual walk through the whole city, hearing all its sounds and reading interesting facts about main objects, it was wonderful!!! I felt, like I had a chance to walk near and get to know this city))) Thank you!!!
You're welcome! And thank you so much for your wonderfully kind words about the video - I really enjoyed making it and learning so much about Edinburgh, a truly magnificent city, and all the more amazing when you get to experience the sounds and sights as if you were there :)
Hello~ new subscriber from Hong Kong. Truely thank you for the great walk and great work, the timestamp and the history of Edinburgh. The information is treasure for my visit to Edinburgh in June 2023.
Was born and have lived in this wonderful city all my life , it’s a great place to live , but before Covid the huge amount of tourists spoiled it a bit
Wow, I enjoyed this video very much and has helped me discover the true history of Scotland.I am Scottish but live in a town near Dumfries and where Robert Burns has a history and died and was laid to rest beside his wife Jean Armour. Having lived in Italy for several years and now returned to my hometown to enjoy Bonnie Scotland. It is a 10/10 from me Thank you S
Absolutely! Edinburgh looks spectacular on a sunny summer's day - and I'm really glad you enjoyed this walk :) Thank you so much for watching - and do stay tuned for more walks in future!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this glorious epic walk ! As a child I red a lots about the tumultuous fight between Scotland and England, I've been watching so many movies and documentaries, about Grand Britain's history, but never had so many precious information. My whole life I've been fascinated about Edinburgh, and hopefully, I April, i booked a week in Scotland, and my driving will come through ! Without intending to say something wrong, I have 2 things to mention: The bagpipes was used in Tracia (Dacia) ,actually Romania, from thousands of years, and are still available, and second :I was to concentrate on my writing, and I couldn't admire the fabulous scenery. Anyway, I'll watch again ,concentrating on the beautiful video. Thanks again and congratulations 👏
@Andy Unfortunately ,not yet ,I'm in holiday starting tomorrow 15 May ,supposed to spend 5 days in Edinburgh but something else come out so ...maybe next year...Have a lovely time x
Thank you for the wonderful video so well made. Learnt a lot about the beautiful, magical city of Edinburgh so full of history and culture. What a grand city! Also a place for the learned with the world famous University of Edinburgh where I am proud to say that my son is currently studying at. Very well done video.
I'm so glad to hear it! A virtual walk through Edinburgh is only second best to a real-life tour, but before you next get the chance to visit, I'm delighted that you found it an interesting and immersive watch :) Thank you so much for watching!

I know Londoners will always say wonderful things about their great city, but Edinburgh is something truly special and fascinating! The history, culture, architecture, and incredible atmosphere is something to treasure.
Thanks so much for this beautiful, high quality and well produced tour!
I love Edinburgh ... I am a Canadian who has been living in Cambridge UK but having visited / stayed in Edinburgh several times know I would far rather be there than here! People in Scotland have real manners ...

Greetings from Italy. I have visited Edinburgh and have great memories. City of rare beauty, populated by kind people. I dream of returning. 😃👋🌿🌹
It's such a beautiful city, and without doubt full of lovely people! I hope you get the chance to return in the near future - Edinburgh is a place like no other :)

Greetings back from the Netherlands!
Does anybody else remember the Waverley Market (changed to the Princes Mall and is now called Waverley mall) in the 80's and early 90's? It was beautiful, had a big water feature and art sculptures in the center, full of lots of interesting and unique shops and bars down on the bottom level. There was even a guy playing a piano at one point if I remember right. They took the water feature out and tiled over everything in the 90's to cram in lots of fast food places and a sea of plastic chairs, all the interesting shops started to leave as high street shopping went into decline. To me it symbolizes more than any other place the decline of the shopping mall as not only a place to shop but a place to gather and socialize.
Thank you for a another wonderful video . I call this city home even though it's no longer home it always will be .
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - you're very lucky to call Edinburgh home, and it's the kind of place that sticks long in the memory even when you're away from there :)
Thank you for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
yea, great video! I have been living in this city for more than 5yrs now and I love it ✌
*last time I went to see a new shopping centre that took 5 yrs to build and did short video about it.
It's been a long time since I was there - 1991. I'm glad to see Deacon Brodie's Tavern is still there. When I was there, the rugby world cup was on, and I nipped into the pub for a cold one. There were two guys sitting at the bar watching a game on TV. Being Canadian, I knew nothing about the game, but they took the time to fill me in on what was happening. I spent a couple of days there, touring the city.
As for the Burns link, on that same trip, I was searching out some family ghosts in Dumfries, and found out that's were Burns died. He was an exciseman there. There's a pub called The Old Globe Inn where he drank. They have a chair with a bronze plaque on it saying "The Poet's Chair". I visited his final resting spot in the graveyard. It's amazing to think how much work these people put out at such an early age. Burns died at 37.
Fascinating to hear all that from you! The city must have been full of life during the Rugby World Cup - and you can always find a friendly face or two to watch a match with in the pubs of Edinburgh!
I've never been to Dumfries before - so I think that'll have to be a future walk with the fascinating history you've just told us about, that's quite the knowledge you have of Burns' later years! It is amazing as you say how much of an impact these men had in such short lives - Robert Fergusson only lived until he was 24!
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this walk around Edinburgh, it's always lovely to hear your thoughts on different towns and cities around the country :)
Thanks a lot!!! I love Scotland very much!!!❤️And Edinburgh is so wonderful!!!👌😊❤️
You're welcome! And thank you very much for watching - Edinburgh certainly is a wonderful city and a magnificent capital for one of the world's greatest countries - Scotland!
I lived in the Scottish Borders near Peebles for a while and used to visit Edinburgh! I loved Scotland and really enjoyed my time living there. Thank you for bringing the good memories from this time back again!
It's a wonderful place to have so near to your home! I'm sure those visits to Edinburgh were absolutely wonderful - and I'm sure your time in Scotland was too :)

Thank you for this wonderful video of Edinburgh. "a city like no other".
I lived and worked there for several years before I emigrated to Canada. So much history and beauty. She is in my heart always.
I couldn't have put it better myself! Edinburgh really is a magical place, and you're very lucky to have spent so much time there - I've only ever been as a visitor. But you're right, there's so much history and beauty to the city, and there really is no place like it :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
This is the most beautiful and well done Edinburgh Walking video I’ve seen on RUclips! It’s really brilliant! I love how crisp the video is and all the information ℹ️ on the bottom. I feel like I’m actually there. 🌟
Wow! That's so kind of you to say! I'm really glad you enjoyed this epic walk through Edinburgh - there's just so much to see in the city and so much history to explore that, and it makes for a fascinating stroll no matter how long it may go on for :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - it really means a lot to hear!
@@LetsWalkUK March 2020 my flight from U.S. was canceled because of pandemic 😷. I was upset 😭 tried again this year but still I have to quarantine for 10 days to inter UK.. next year I’ll make it there. my dream city..
@@ChrisJohnsonChannel Oh no! So sorry to hear about that - I'm sure you'll make it over to Edinburgh sooner rather than later, and then the trip will feel all the more special :)
Edinburgh is a city in the heart of Scotland which is having great historic buildings, been there so many times and I like a lot the views.
Beautiful city, wonderful place, oozing with history, Yeah, yeah, yeah, heard it all before. But wait. In the case of Edinburgh it's absolutely true. So much to see and do. You have to go back many times to scratch the surface of this magnificent City. I've been coming here on and off since I was 11 and I'm now 63. I come up to Scotland from Manchester about twice a year and will do so until I am no longer able.A great place with a great capital city.
Couldn't have put it better myself! There are so many places around the country and even the world full of amazing history, but there are few cities quite as magical as Edinburgh, with such an illustrious history that could have you exploring for days, or years as you prove with something new always to be found :)
I hope you continue your trips to Edinburgh for as long as you can - it's certainly an amazing city and one I look forward to returning to in the future!
Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comments - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Another great video. I love Edinburgh. It’s such a great city!
Absolutely agreed! There are few places quite so jam-packed with history and stunning urban scenery, not to mention the thriving energy from the Royal Mile to Princes Street and everything in between :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, it means a lot to hear!
Absolutely loved the video, I’m keen to come back to Edinburgh vey soon✅
Thank you❣️.
My vivid memories of Edinburgh when I was a teenager was of a story book fascinating place... even in my dreams.
As an adult I now see a STUNNING city...
Even though I have been to Edinburgh 3 times your video has shown me so much I have not seen! Thank you for your smooth, easy to view video. Your caption comments are easy to read, so appreciated. I look forward to more.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and that it showed you some interesting things you might have missed on your many trips to Edinburgh :)
And thank you very much for your kind words on the caption comments - it really means a lot to hear!
I miss dear Edi, one day I will come back.
Thank you.
I hope you get the chance to return soon! It's a spectacular city that always has an allure no matter how long you've been away :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. What a beautiful city!🙂
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, Edinburgh certainly is a gorgeous place to visit :)
Great walk and tour in Edinburgh city of Scotland. It's a very beautiful city and historical. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to your next walk. 😀
Thank you so much! It really is a stunning city and the history is so riveting! I absolutely love visiting Edinburgh and many other places around Scotland - it's a great country :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you're enjoying the walks!
What an incredible tour. Edinburgh is truly stunning and steep! Thank you this was really a really enjoyable video.
It certainly is! A long walk around Edinburgh is absolutely magical with all the scenery and history - though it can be very tiring without a doubt (especially climbing up from where Nor Loch was towards the Royal Mile!)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, it really means a lot to hear!
This is gorgeous. I love Scotland and all the history and natural beauty combined.
This city is full of history. How can anyone throw away these wonderful buildings?
Absolutely brilliant thank you for the historical lesson as well
I love Edinburgh and always in my heart ❤️❤️❤️
I do too! There are few places more spectacular in the world - and the mystique of Edinburgh's gorgeous architecture makes it an incredible place to visit and make memories of :)
A heavenly city .Very much grateful to the architects
It certainly is! The contrast of the higgledy-piggledy Old Town and the perfectly-designed New Town makes Edinburgh a place like no other, and on a sunny day, I think 'heavenly' is just the right word to describe it :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
Watched again this awesome videos. Thanks ,absolutely amazing 👏
Stunning walk around Edinburgh
Brilliant video!! Thank you! I've been in Edinburgh for short stays twice. My sightseeing didn't even scratch the surface. I need to return to this wonderful city.
Thank you so much! I certainly wouldn't pass up the chance to return to such a wonderful city as Edinburgh, and even this video doesn't scratch the surface of the endless amount of sights and riveting history to be seen in Scotland's stunning capital :)
Thank you very much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
My great great grandfather actually died in the Edinburgh castle Hospital in November 1920 he was part of the Royal Garrison Artillery. He is buried at Piershill cemetery. Great video. I will visit Edinburgh soon
Thank You So...Much amazing most enjoyable I lived in Edinburgh in the mid 1960's but didn't as much as work kept me from seeing so much
Thank you! Great video with descriptions 👍
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is a gorgeous city with so much history to explore :)
I visited Edinburgh twice. And now I can't wait to the 3rd. Very nice and memorable city. Thanks for sharing this video with all the clear explanation and interesting facts
I love taking these walks in Edinburgh with you. Once I discover your videos, I don't miss them. I love Scotland, and my biggest wish is to live in Edinburgh, I live in Brazil, it's hard to go now, but I hope to visit this wonderful city very soon. Thank you for your wonderful tour!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh really is a magnificent city and I'm delighted that this walk gave you a glimpse of a place you're rightly keen on visiting one day - I hope you get the chance one day in the future :)
24:48 It has a nice tone and matches the atmosphere of the city
Ha ha it wouldn't be Scotland without bagpipes! There are lots of bagpipe buskers around Edinburgh, so there are few places better to go if you're looking for that traditional soundtrack :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
How many memories!
i lived there from 2001 to 2007, I miss the parks of edinburgh, i miss the scottish people too, i have been back 3/ 4 times since then, just to visit for a week. When i lived in Auld Reekie i used to cycle everywhere, in any weather condition. Arthur Seat, Botanic Gardens, Cramond, Dean Village my favourites
Thank you for the best virtual walking tour of a city in the history of mankind!
Makes me wanna visit one day. Edinburgh city has beautiful architecture. Love watching your videos ! 😀 Thumps up 👍.
There are few places with architecture quite like it! Thanks to Lord Cockburn and others, we still have the distinct style of the Old Town alongside the majestic buildings of the New Town - it's a truly unique and as you say beautiful place :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos!
Loved our visit here many moons ago , thanks for sharing your lovely video
My parents and I just watched the whole video... and we loved it so much! Thank you for giving so much information in addition to these amazing views of Edinburgh 👏🏻
Outstanding visit
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh certainly is an outstanding city!
Beautiful city. Brought to many more by this channel. Thankyou.
Amazing job! This city is fantastic ! Thanks for your hard work, also for sharing this video!
It certainly is a fantastic city - and easily one of the most special in the entire world :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow so beautiful 🤩
I really wish I could visit and maybe stay awhile. I hope one day soon I will be walking around Scotland. TY for the video
I really hope you will get the chance to visit Edinburgh and wider Scotland sooner rather than later! The city really is a spectacular place to visit - as is the whole country :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
I was there at the time this video was posted, and I can really say that I love the city. Can't wait to go back. Love Scotland!
Great tour and the icing on the cake which is the subtitled history. Thanks and you earned my sub
Ha ha thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is a magnificent city and there's so much history to explore even on a relatively short tour of the city like this :)
Thank you so much for watching, and especially for subscribing - it really helps me out!
lovely video of Edinburgh. These old buildings are so beautiful. I really enjoyed watching your video.
They really are! Edinburgh has such a distinctive image and it's amazing that the city has retained it so strongly through all these years - there are few places quite as gorgeous :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video, it means a lot to hear!
Excellent - I visited there on a trip in 2002, and this was just like re-tracing my steps. Highly recommended video!
Great video again and loved the history about it , let alone the stunning scenery, thank you for sharing with us ☆♡☆
Thank you so much! Edinburgh is so full of history that this walk could have been multiple hours (or even days) long, especially if we'd gone up to Calton Hill to get that stunning view across the city :)
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for take us with you and sharing so much information.
Very interesting trip. Was twice in Edinburgh last year. Charming city !
I love that you insert maps, they help so much to help me get oriented. The captions are also very professional, what great quality this is overall. With COVID and lack of money, virtual travel is the only way these days. Thanks from a new subscriber in San Francisco.
That's very kind of you to say - I'm really glad the video is helping you to travel around the world from the comfort of your own home - places like Edinburgh are always worth seeing :)
Thank you for subscribing too - it really helps me out!
There were maps? I must have missed them. My browser eliminates ads, and perhaps that's why they did not appear during my viewing. But that's okay.
Wow! Excellent, a new friend in Scotland! 😃😎 I suscribed! 👍😁
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is a spectacular city and one of Scotland's very best, do stay tuned for more walks in the country, and thank you so much for subscribing!
Learned a lot from your walking tour! Thanks!
Super informative, having the text on the screen may not be for everyone but it helps me (I just pause and read) instead of missing what the guide may have said. I was actually in Edinburgh in 2017 and wish (although its not possible of course) that I had something like this video before I went, instead of just aimlessly wandering which is what we did.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy the text to help the walking tour - pausing along the way is a great way to watch if that helps you out - there's no wrong way to do it :)
I'm sure you had a wonderful time in Edinburgh when you visited before - but I do hope this video topped up what you gained when you were there last!
Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind comments - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Exceptional waking video with much appreciated commentary. Excellent work!
Edinburgh, one of my favourite city! Love this video 😍
I'm certainly inclined to agree with you! Edinburgh is a spectacular city and one that's worth visiting again and again and again :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow! Can't wait to walk around Edinburgh soon! Great video
You'll have a great time! Edinburgh really is a spectacular place - and home to so many sights that you could keep walking for days and days and days, this is the most concise overview I could manage :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
OUR BEST COLONY!!!!.... 💖💖💖
May God save our Empire and our cheerful Queen!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this valuable information. I recently moved to Scotland and while visiting the places I remember your video and it helps me to relate with the information. It helps to understand the culture of country and their belief.
Thank you. Love you Scotland 😍
It’s splendid ❤
I can feel my lungs expanding as you walk up The Mound. What a gorgeous day you had for filming. Trying to see if I can spot myself shopping along Princes Street, lol. I’ve lived in the area for just 2 and a half years now and I love it.
Ha ha yes and it was a bit of a hot day too - so nice and breathless climbing up to the Old Town! But I'm so glad we managed to capture Edinburgh under the sun on a bustling day like this - there really are few places better in the world :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and perhaps managed to spot yourself somewhere, who knows!
Wowwww, wonderful place.. ❤️
It certainly is! There are few places quite as gorgeous as Edinburgh, especially when the city is shining under the glorious Scottish sun :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
One of the most beautiful cities on Earth...
Agreed! There are few places quite as beautiful as Edinburgh - and a walk through its gorgeous streets is truly spectacular :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
lol you obviously have never lived there. It's dirty, smelly, scruffy, nothing gets fixed, the government abuses the city locals - that's the facts, no offense, just wanted to tell the truth.
Locals can't even get emergency ambulances, they are told to get a taxi to hospital. Yeah Edinburgh sure is beautiful.
A really first class video, awesome job.
What a fantastic and informational tour of Edinburgh, thank you so much for sharing!❤️
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is such a gorgeous and fascinating place with so much to explore, and this walk only just scratches the surface :)
@@LetsWalkUK I know! It will take many more visits to explore!🙂
Beautiful Edina,as always...
Indeed it is beautiful - I absolutely adore Edinburgh :)
Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Fantastic job mate👍!!!
Thanks for showcasing the characteristics and historical beauty of Edinburgh’s Old and New town to the World 🌎.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is certainly well-known around the world, but there's a lot beneath the surface to uncover on a walk through the Old and New Towns :)
Thank you so much for watching!
I loved this walk! thank you so much
You're welcome! And thank you so much for your very kind words - Edinburgh is a spectacular city unlike any other, and I love walking around there :)
Such a brilliant city, I was lucky enough to visit a few years ago, if definitely live here if I had the money
It certainly is! A spectacular city like no other in the world - I'm sure you had a fabulous time when you visited a few years back :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed this video!
@@LetsWalkUK I did, I've seen a fair few of your videos. Keep up the good work! It's a brilliant channel idea
@@tomfisher7751 Thank you so much - it really makes my day to hear such kind words! Do stay tuned for more walks around the country in the future :)
What a great leisurely walk with a superb written commentary at just the right pace. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk and proud to have such a beautiful capital city filled with a rich history (and I'm Glaswegian!!!)😁
Lived in Edinburgh my whole life never knew that about Balmoral clock You learn something new every day
Ha ha it's just one of the many pieces of hidden heritage around Edinburgh - I'm glad you learned that interesting little fact from this video too :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the walk!
Lovely Place and awesome destination. Scotland is the land of Brave Warrior.
Very much so! There are few places in the world quite as stoic as Scotland, and Edinburgh is a striking symbol of just that - as well as an absolutely beautiful place to visit (which coincidentally the rest of Scotland is too!)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
You definitely need to be fit when visit Edinburgh old town,hills and stairs galore 😁
You only got around 7000 subscribers, yet your work is phenomenal.. How do you have so much work for only 7000 persons? It's incredible.. Please, if you can afford it, don't stop making these videos. Good job
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos - I certainly love making them, I've learned so much and been to so many wonderful places!
Rest assured that there are lots more videos to come in the future - and to support the channel do subscribe and keep watching, it really does help me out :)
Thank you again!
7000 is actually a lot.
incredible stone buildings
They really are! There are few places with such spectacular and unique architecture as Edinburgh :)
Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
@19:35 - what an amazing view of Edinburgh castle !! my fav
Informative and technically good.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - there's so much to discover in Edinburgh, and it's always even better when you can see the city shining under the sun and full of life as on this day :)
Thank you very much for watching and for your kind comments!

Thank you so much for this video and for this format!)))
I could just enjoy an actual walk through the whole city, hearing all its sounds and reading interesting facts about main objects, it was wonderful!!!
I felt, like I had a chance to walk near and get to know this city))) Thank you!!!
You're welcome! And thank you so much for your wonderfully kind words about the video - I really enjoyed making it and learning so much about Edinburgh, a truly magnificent city, and all the more amazing when you get to experience the sounds and sights as if you were there :)
Hello~ new subscriber from Hong Kong. Truely thank you for the great walk and great work, the timestamp and the history of Edinburgh. The information is treasure for my visit to Edinburgh in June 2023.
Was born and have lived in this wonderful city all my life , it’s a great place to live , but before Covid the huge amount of tourists spoiled it a bit
Wow, I enjoyed this video very much and has helped me discover the true history of Scotland.I am Scottish but live in a town near Dumfries and where Robert Burns has a history and died and was laid to rest beside his wife Jean Armour. Having lived in Italy for several years and now returned to my hometown to enjoy Bonnie Scotland.
It is a 10/10 from me
Thank you

It's so good to see Edinburgh with clear skies! Congratulations on 100 walks, keep up the great work 😀👍
Absolutely! Edinburgh looks spectacular on a sunny summer's day - and I'm really glad you enjoyed this walk :)
Thank you so much for watching - and do stay tuned for more walks in future!
Great video, thank you.
And thank you very much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Edinburgh is an absolutely wonderful city :)
Have been considering moving to this city, and this was the best video yet to get a true flavor of all the "neighborhoods". Great video.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this glorious epic walk ! As a child I red a lots about the tumultuous fight between Scotland and England, I've been watching so many movies and documentaries, about Grand Britain's history, but never had so many precious information. My whole life I've been fascinated about Edinburgh, and hopefully, I April, i booked a week in Scotland, and my driving will come through ! Without intending to say something wrong, I have 2 things to mention: The bagpipes was used in Tracia (Dacia) ,actually Romania, from thousands of years, and are still available, and second :I was to concentrate on my writing, and I couldn't admire the fabulous scenery. Anyway, I'll watch again ,concentrating on the beautiful video. Thanks again and congratulations 👏
Did you come to Edinburgh mate? 🏴
@Andy Unfortunately ,not yet ,I'm in holiday starting tomorrow 15 May ,supposed to spend 5 days in Edinburgh but something else come out so ...maybe next year...Have a lovely time x
The best travel video I have seen! Thanks a lot!
Wow! That's so kind of you to say! And thank you very much for watching - I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you for the wonderful video so well made. Learnt a lot about the beautiful, magical city of Edinburgh so full of history and culture. What a grand city! Also a place for the learned with the world famous University of Edinburgh where I am proud to say that my son is currently studying at. Very well done video.
This felt so realistic, like it was me walking around the city
I'm so glad to hear it! A virtual walk through Edinburgh is only second best to a real-life tour, but before you next get the chance to visit, I'm delighted that you found it an interesting and immersive watch :)
Thank you so much for watching!
My wife and I are heading to Scotland in 2 weeks after a 2 year delay. We're spending 2 extra days in Edinburgh and found your video very entertaining and informative. Thanks! Can't wait!
Thank you nice view.~!!
