Who else could hear the words “welcome.., to the fields of Perthshire” ? I would love to just tag along with ya John on your tours.
Haha 😂 good point Stephen thanks for watching and for your support
Same here!
Great tour so I subscribed even though there was no cameo of a "gorgeous George" or "dropped it, shock, horror." 🤣
😂
This video is pure gold! What a beautiful city and history. Not only are you the King of Metal Detecting You're the King of Scotlands long history! Thank You John. You make it almost as good as being there!
Have waited some time on this video.
Huge fan of J.K Rowling and Ian Rankin, so its right up my alley😜🔝❤️
Haha 😂 you’re a wizard 🧙♀️ Toni
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this tour, John. You are a wealth of knowledge and I could listen to you tell stories all day. Thanks so much for starting this channel and taking us along.
Many thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed
Wowww. JK Rowling, 12 publishers rejected The Philosopher's Stone. 'Thankfully, she never gave up.' Oh. My. Love your new channel and premise of longer but short virtual tours. VERY SMART, and sure makes us long to plan a tour with you soon! 🏴
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Best city in the world ❤ I’m biased tho as I stay near Edinburgh 🏴🏴😊
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching …. I’m bias too 😂
@thescottishdetectorist, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this video!! I watch your metal detecting videos from the US, and I wanted to show my support!
Thanks Simon. Much appreciated
I've watched this twice, thoroughly! John, you're an exceptional tour guide, most likely the best I've had the pleasure of listening to. Even though this is my old stomping ground, I've learned so much from your channel and especially this video! Your content is second to none, and I've been recommending your channel whenever I can! Cheers, brother.
Aww thanks for the lovely kind words and fantastic support. Much appreciated
Wonderful tour. Upon graduation from nursing program, I took my wife to UK for two weeks. Edinburg was our favorite week of the visit.
Wonderful people and country,
Thank you John.
❤❤👍
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
I love listening...you are a wealth of knowledge, and i love hearing your narrative.....
Fabulous tour of this region of Edinburgh, John! Thank you so much for the history, perspective, and truly beautiful views! Taking my notes from your videos! So exciting!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, keep watching, more coming very soon.
We stayed in a flat right off the Grassmarket on the South Castle Wynd. Edinburgh is, without a doubt, the most charming city I've ever visited. 🏴
Great job John! A man of many talents. Been watching your detector videos for a good while. I am 70 years old and probably will never get to walk the streets, but like your other videos I can live and learn thru your adventures and stories. So glad you invited us to this channel, now I have another place to go. Thanks John
I could copy this post exactly even down to the age. Thanks John for a great tour. Liked and subscribed.
Wanted to say thanks John. It's embarrassing to admit this but I grew up in Scotland. I still fly home regularly and used to work in the Cowgate long ago. I learned 4 things in 13 minutes that I did not know about the city and area steps away from where I worked for years. Everyone should watch these tours, worth every minute
You truly are a fantastic tour guide. Perhaps more like the Piped Piper, I certainly have a strong desire to visit Scotland now. Thank you, what a magnificent town Edinburgh is.
Many thanks Tanja! Make it happen 🤩
Ah! SO interesting and well done. Brilliant!
Many thanks, Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
That was great, my first time watching. I’ll be back for more.😊
Many thanks Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Your videos, detecting and touring, are fabulous. I enjoy your videos and the history you provide! I hope your videos to viral! I'm from Idaho, USA.
Many thanks and thanks for the support
Thank you I really enjoyed your tour . I am going to watch more of your videos.
Much appreciated Anne
Thanks for sharing this, I love your part of the world and hopefully I'll visit someday!
Make it happen
Yes please. I like what I've seen and heard and will subscribe. So much interesting history. I try to go on blue guide tours wherever I go and have always found the stimulating. Thanks for pointing to this channel from your fields of Perthshire.
Many thanks Carol. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for your support
Thanks! Lovely virtual trip for the day
Glad you enjoyed it!
Our Daughter and son-in-law can not stop talking about their recent trip to Ireland and Scotland And the most memorable tour guide- You. My wife and I want to make the trip in the spring and hope to meet you.
Good morning from the Vancouver island Canada.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
❤❤❤❤
Many thanks 😊
Well done John. Great idea to use your detectorist channel to promote this equally grand one.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching best wishes
Great walk In old town.
Im dreaming on coming To scotland one day(when i win In lottery, lol) and i Will hire u To take me In every tour possible😁🇫🇮
Thanks so much Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Yes. Yes, I will. Still so much to see, despite doing three walking tours in two days, and bombing around the Castle and Holyrood. Middle-aged and creaky, but determined. Enjoying both channels. Cheers. 👍😉
Greetings John from your Detectorist channel. Fantastic video.!!
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
It's wonderful to be able to visit a place through the eyes of a masterful historian and storyteller. Your videos allow me to see places that I will never be able to physically visit so thank you, John, for posting these on youtube.
Aww thanks for the kind words. My pleasure and thanks for watching and for the support
It really is a magical place 🌟
Glad you enjoyed
Great wee tour john really enjoyed it ..subscribed👍
Have to add No decent finds tho 😂
Haha 😂 should have had a wee dig in the Grassmarket 🤣
Lovely my fav area so full of history .
Edinburgh is a beautiful city….. soooo much history and beautiful architecture
Thank you so much. The rich scenery gives me some great content for my art. God bless
Thanks and glad
You
Enjoyed
I would love to visit and move to Edinburgh. I love the beauty of the country and I love your accent. ❤
John very well narrated .. extremely informative .. the amount of history in such a small area of the very picturesque city of Edinburgh is astounding…I’ve visited Edinburgh a couple of times over the years ..
one memory sticks out from the rest was when we was sitting in the beautiful garden under the historic Edinburgh Castle eating and drinking a picnic I remember drinking a nice cold drink exactly at the time of the 1pm cannon blast from the wall of the castle … needless to say I wasn’t expecting it and split all the contents of the plastic flask down my neatly pressed shirt and trousers ..after the initial shock …embarrassment quickly followed especially when everyone gave out a huge laughter …
Happy memories… well maybe not 😆
That was wonderful John, I am off to watch more!
Aww thanks 😊
Thanks, John! I love Edinburgh! ❤🏴
Really enjoyed this tour John, I worked in Edinburgh about six years ago, for a week at the observatory, I was very impressed by this beautiful and clean city full of nice people. 👍
Many thanks Nigel. Haste ye back
What an excellent tour! You have a way of bringing it to life for this Kentucky woman. Thanks!
So Amazing, it's like walking back in History, seeing all the old architecture and the shop fronts, it literally feels like walking in 19th century Edinburgh! For me it feels totally alien, as we have nothing like that here at all.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
I love these tours!!!!! I have watched all of them - can't wait for more! ❤❤❤❤
And just like that I get to see Edinburgh! You're a good guide on the field and in town!
Much appreciated, see you on the next
Amazing tour and loved to hear about all the historical facts on the city. I visited there once many years ago on the way to visit my Aunt Nettie in Glasgow lol, I didn't have enough time to explore Edinburgh properly.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Thank you so much for showing me your beautiful city of Edinburgh. I hope to visit again soon.
Many thanks 😊
I usually watch this on FB. but, it is nicer on you tube. I loved this tour!
Much appreciated and thanks for the support
What a beautiful tour thanks for taking us along on this magical tour I am a disabled subscriber so this would be very hard for me to do.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
A wonderful tour John! Edinburgh is such a beautiful city!! Your knowledge is amazing and thank you for sharing!! All your videos of your country are beautiful, we get to take a peek of history through your eyes!! Keep sharing with us, just like you’re detecting!! 👍🪙🏰
I'm from southern California, been to Scotland numerous times and walked the grass market many times. My girlfriend is from Edinburgh but now living in the states. This was great to see. Good job.
This was a wonderful surprise tour ❤ Such tremendous history with an enchanting city backdrop
Aww thanks Jennifer… your support is much appreciated
Hii jen
So great seeing and hearing the voice and history put together in one ☺️
Absolutely loved this John. I love Edinburgh and I love you too of course so it was a brilliant combination. Not in a gay way 😄 Very professional. I explored much of Edinburgh last year while up visiting my sister. Its a memory I'll take with me to the end. It's steeped in history. So beautiful, gothic and in the past. I could live there. One day, I may just do that. Of course we enjoyed the pubs, live music and never-ending choices of Whisky. The Smoky One (?) being my favourite. Picture of a skull with smoke coming out the ears. New Lanark is a lovely place near to where I stayed. A stone's throw from Wallace's birthplace too. Falls of the Clyde. Wonder if you've been there? Lots of history and beauty too. Thanks for a fantastic tour 😉
Hey Del. Glad it brought back happy memories. I haven’t been to new Lanark for a while!! I’ll need to revisit!!
@@visitscotlandtours1 I used to fish off the falls. Beautiful place all year round. Snow especially. Plenty history in the mills too 😉
Another treat, interesting and informative as usual. I can enjoy Edinburgh vicariously from my home in Australia . I hope that I will be able to visit it again in future Thanks John 😀
Thanks for your support
Hello John a very nice tour.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching David
Ah maybe some day. Thanks for the tour John!
My pleasure and thanks for watching
Cracking John, I have seen many a documentary and filmed visits to your beautiful, ancient capital, but none were as delightfully entertaining as you provided. The fascinating historical backgrounds and eye-popping sights were new to me, and uniquely, you.Brilliant work!
More please.Makes me so want to visit the beautiful land of my ancestors
PS. It must rain often as many folk walking the streets didn't bother with umbrellas. You Scots are a hearty lot.😊
Hi John, looking forward to watching this channel as much as your the Scottish detectorist channel,cheers for letting me know.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
This was fabulous, thanks John. ❤
Thanks Claire!! Much appreciated
An excellent video thanks John. I look forward to further tours.
Many thanks, see you on the next!!
Myself and my wife will see you in the future John for a tour .
We are determined to visit Scotland in the future.
Glad to hear it Jeffrey. Until then hopefully my videos can provide you with some inspiration!
Fascinating info on the volcanic extrusion that Edinburgh Castle sits upon! Thank you for sharing the history, good and bad, of Edinburgh.
Thanks Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Love those video walking tours
I love these tours! Thanks John ❤
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Awesome video. I will have to one day see the town for myself.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Loved this tour of Edinburgh. Scotland is on my bucket list to visit!
Well Done!
Thanks 😊
I’m glad you started a Scotland tours RUclips, I love your TikToks and that’s how I discovered i like watching other people metal detect. 😂
What a great tour! Well done John!
Glad you enjoyed it Maureen ☺️
Loved the tour! Thank you for letting us tag along. More city tours like this would be great.
Love all of your videos. 🍻
Love the buildings we don't have those types of architecture in the United States loved it. Thank you,
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching Janet
Subscribed. Didn't realize that you had a second channel. Thank you for reminding us. My paternal great grand parents were from Edinburgh before they emigrated to Canada with my grand mother a babe in arms.
I hope you’re coming to explore your roots!! Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Thanks a lot for making this video John. I have visited Edinburgh when I was very young with my parents. My mother used to make or knit Jumpers for Edinburgh Wool, so we visited their shop in Edinburgh.
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching and happy memories
Hi John. I have loved your "Scottish Detectorist" channel for quite some time. I think I was one of the first 20K subscribers there, and have been subscribed here since you first announced it on your other channel. I, like almost all others love the historical content. That sets you apart...your remarkable presentation of history. I am also a fan of the mining industry and mining history. I would love to hear you opine about some of the mining history of Scotland. -Hans
Many thanks Hans. Thanks for the kind words. I’ll add that to the list!! Best wishes
Thanks for the virtual walking tour. I would like to think that some of my Scottish ancestors walked those same streets, but not hanged... hopefully.
Many thanks Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
I visited Edinburgh over three decades ago and loved it, but I see from your guided tour that I missed so much! What a wonderful chance to revisit this city. If I every hear somebody saying they are going to Scotland I will recommend you as a wonderful tour guide. These videos are marvelous. Thanks! 🥰💕❤️👍👍
Aww thanks Terry
Out of all the places I could visit in the world ... SCOTLAND and North are the only places I want to visit. Actually, I'm 72 and traveling across the Pond is a daunting and uncomfortable 😂😂😂‼️ I guess I'll stick to Xplorin the US bc I now have the Scottish Detectorist to show me around in a way I would never get in PERSON😉‼️💜💜💜
Lovely tour! Would have liked to see some of that whiskey!!!
Haha 😂 me too
I loved your tour John! You have a beautiful voice so easy to listen to, like music to my ears! ( I’m half Scottish) reminding me of my heritage ❤️❤️
Fabulous vid
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
So much to learn about Edinburgh, wish you had been there when I was in Edinburgh xx
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching … you’ll need to
Come
Back!!
Great tour John. Went to art college there, we had a studio in the Grassmarket. All my hairs used to stand on end, crossing over past the gibbet on the way to the pub/lunch. Just so many layers of history in every stone there.
Happy memories Maureen. Hope you’re going back soon!!
Want to visit next year to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Aww that’s would be amazing
Good luck with the new channel
Many thanks 😊
In all the times I have been to Edinburgh I have never been to the Grassmarket, really appreciate this. Must book my next trip soon.
Glad you enjoyed Richard thanks for watching
Thanks John! Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it and see you on the next one!
What a great video! I didn’t realise Edinburgh had so much history, it was fascinating. I loved the story of half hung maggie, never heard that story before. I would love to come and visit one day but only on one condition and that is that you show me around personally you gorgeous man! Blessings from England💜
Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed…. I’ve got a few stories up my sleeve!! Look forward to you visiting
I guess i know more about Edinburgh now than most any city in Europe, thanks to your great history lesson in this video. Thank you for posting it here for all of us to see and hear.
Many thanks
And I’m glad you
Enjoyed
Oh wow! Great history when your detecting, this was even better! Never been to Edinburgh, you tell the history brilliantly. I’m going to check out some more tours. Many thanks ❤
Thanks so much
Love both of your channels! I will make it to Scotland one day (maternal ancestry-MacKay family) and i will definitely participate in one of your tours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and obvious love for your beautiful country!
Thanks for watching Tricia and hopefully see you here very soon!!
We have seen all your videos so far! hope to never miss one! I've shared this with all I can hope to get you a few more subscribers!!!
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching John
Great tour John. My wife and I visited Edinburgh last March and stayed at an Airbnb in Grassmarket at the bottom of Victoria Street. This brings it all back!
I've visited Edinburgh. It has great architecture, and I could spend a month there and not get bored.
WHAT A SUPER CHANNEL! Your knowledge is so appreciated, sir. Love this information.
Aww thanks Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Loved the tour and the history 😊
Many thanks Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
I love the longer video! This is really great, John! I first discovered you from your metal detecting videos, and I very much enjoy the history and stories that you include. Great job !
This video was amazing! Edinburgh is an amazingly historic, well-maintained city! I heard it is a booklover's dream with all it's bookshops. I collect miniature books and there are several book makers in that area. Would love to visit someday, but until then I have your videos to live vicariously through!! Cheers from Minnesota, USA!!🥰🥰🥰
One day I hope to see that in person. Thank you John.
Many thanks Donald Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Nice
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Love hearing the history of the area!
Fantastic stuff John. I honestly didn't know any of it. Appreciate the history & the knowledge. Bless up bro 👊
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching Nick. Best wishes
