    I agree with you on solo dining, and solo travel in general, it is very liberating and can feel very self-affirming as well! I really enjoy going to museums by myself because I don’t have to wait on someone else or feel like I should hurry because someone else is waiting. Museums are really different when you have all the time in the world to look and read and ponder the pieces you like :)

    Welcome to Scotland! I'm more of a silent watcher, so I don't usually comment. But, I loved seeing you explore Edinburgh and if you are ever in the area again you could take a train an hour south to the Scottish Borders. Lots of auld towns and houses and countryside to see. If you are interested in Walter Scott, I live in the town where he lived and was magistrate. You can visit his home and courtroom here. We have a lot of history and scenery that most people don't really know about that has inspired a lot of great literature.

    Lovely video, make's me melancholy for Scotland. My Mother's Scottish and I've visited allot in my youth and I miss it so much. As someone who lives by the sea, I don't mean to be negative but please never go to jetties in the darker hour's, especially with the tide level like that. their quite dangerous especially this time of year. your video was lovely and so informative as well. I didn't realise the castle in The Scottish Play was real. it's now on my list of places to visit.

    Hi Ruby, thanks for taking us on your trip - so relaxing listening to your voice. I did have a thought whilst I was listening to you though - if you haven't already I'd suggest you look into voicing audio books - or perhaps reading books chapter by chapter here on your channel. I'd certainly love to hear you read us some classics.

    I have wonderful memories of Edinburgh. It's the most beautiful city I've ever been to. The Complete World of Harry Potter. Even before I got there, I found a photo of the house on the Internet and saved it to my computer. I told myself that I must see it one day. I came to Edinburgh and suddenly I saw this exact house. Under the castle, with a beautiful garden. A brick house with a green roof. You must have seen it. I almost passed out from the emotion. And when I left for Dundee by bus, I met a beautiful red-haired girl Joanna at the station and we traveled together for about two hours. She studied literature. Beautiful experiences, perhaps the most beautiful travel moments I have ever experienced. 🍂✨🍁 I love your videos. ❤

    A few days in Culross looks like heaven to me. It's unlikely that I will ever make it since it's very far from Ontario Canada where I am. My husband did make it to Inverness when he was a young man. His parents were from Liverpool so he did a little tour of northern England and made a point of visiting a school friend in Edinburgh.
    I often get to tell me of that trip and make my jealousy quite obvious. So maybe he'll surprise me with a trip for an anniversary or something. Haha, a lady can dream.
    Wonderful vlog. I am so glad that even though you are introverted, that you find adventures that are your speed and you can do them solo.

    Is there any part of the UK more artistic, more poetic, more granitic, more ruggedly beautiful than Scotland? Is it any wonder that you or any other author would go there to work? And, though the choice is of course yours, might it even be worth considering Edinburgh for PhD studies...?

    Nice one. On the topic of frights in museums... a stuffed polar bear was once exhibited on the upper floors of the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, along with stuffed tigers shot, apparently, by King George V. I took a friend's nine-year-old daughter there once. Her mother had failed to mention that the girl was terrified of polar bears, courtesy of Philip Pullman. We all laughed about it afterwards.

    Another offering that is sure to delight the adoring fan club. Princess Spirulina-Bumpkin heads North (again) for another self-indulgent vacation. This time it’s more whisper than waffle from someone who seems to regard having a cup of some ghastly beverage wedged in her hand as being one of life’s essentials. What is even more questionable is her apparent need to be constantly photographing herself with her mobile phone. There are some touching moments, such as the ‘Tomorrow’ soliloquy and repeated visits to the jetty, a la ‘French Lieutenant's Woman’. I just hope she remembered to pack the antacids and that she doesn’t arrive home ahead of the postcards …

    It's great you have tendencies to explore the Victorian era. But your Country governments has tendencies to appease the Muhammedans and that's why your Country has large number of Muhammedan and they have already made your country a Muslim dominated country. The India has potential to dominate the PAKISTAN which your country always favoured. That's why the Indian government have engaged to buy the deadly Bombers aircraft from Russia. Your Country favorite is PAKISTAN and Indian alliance is Russia. Your country favoured Pakistani and India Favoured Russia always.
