WE'RE BACK IN EDINBURGH! 🏴 | We just HAD to see it again

- This wasn't originally part of the plan -- but we loved Edinburgh so much the first time around, we squeezed in a few more days here at the tail end of the trip! The weather might not have been as picture perfect as the first visit, and we may have fallen victim to the Travel Day Curse yet again, but honestly, we didn't care in the slightest! Why? Because WE WERE IN SCOTLAND!

THANKS FOR WATCHING! ♡
13:38 As an Edinburgher born and bred, Edinburgh is arguably _more_ beautiful in the rain! Sure, on the rare sunny days it sparkles but somehow the architecture and Gothic vibe just go with rain and clouds. Dreich! Thanks for the upload. 👍
I am most pleased that you like my home.
Forget umbrellas, have a hoodied waterproof jacket and waterproof overtrousers. And, if you don't mind looking a bit weird, goggles for the horizontal sleet. Umbrellas just get scrumpled and are a danger to other denizens of the city
And of course a backpack to hold this stuff because the sun may be out in 30 minutes, you don't want to get too hot.
If you insist, a hipflask with a wee dram in it helps.(Laphroaig Quarter Cask if you ask me)
Chris is right. Umbrellas are for losers, specifically losers of umbrellas. If you must have one you need the one with the hole in the top to let the wind through (not a joke.)
Noted for next time. Thanks, Chris! 😃
So glad to hear that you came back! Looking forward to seeing your other Scotland vids.
Welcome back. I'm about to move back to Edinburgh myself, to live. Looking forward to being there again after 19 years!
Welcome back too Scotland hope you enjoy🏴
I love that you love Edinburgh I am from Edinburgh.
Emigrated to Canada but do still love my homeland.
I wish I was there to take you to some special places.
There are some hidden gems.
Have a lovely time,again love you love Edinburgh.
It's a magical place.Caroline
Aww all over too quick, another great video. Looking forward to next week 😊
I haven't commented on any of your videos for awhile, but as you're back in my town (albeit 45 years ago or whenever this was filmed) I feel compelled to do so now and all I can say is that I'm truly sorry for what you had to endure! You were indeed lucky with the weather during your last visit and I hope you're not just being kind about still enjoying yourselves this time around. Believe me, I know how depressing it can get!🙁
The pair of you are without a doubt my favourite travel vloggers and it's a crime that you don't have more subscribers. Looking forward to your Highland escapades and praying that you didn't have to put up with anymore storms.
Aww thank you, Ian! That truly means a lot. 🥹
We were being 100% genuine -- we still loved our second go around in Edinburgh even without the blue skies. As for the Highlands: the weather couldn't make up its mind that day. We experienced everything from heavy winds, to rain, to no wind, to hail, to clear skies, to completely overcast skies. But as with Edinburgh the day before, the weather didn't stop us from having a great experience. (Bizarrely, Scotland manages to look just as beautiful in undesirable weather.)
love seeing you guys, boots on the ground in my native home, youre always safe in scotland because we take care of people who visit our country out of sheer manners and pride.. i used to live inner city and now live on the west coast by the highlands and islands, if you guys find yourself over here again i could recommend loads of places for you to take day trips too and things to do that would blow you guys away..... you should do an island hop with the ferries or nip over and see the isle of skye and things like that, you guys would really enjoy it
Dude yall almost seem fake to how nice people are there. It’s kinda crazy. Then you go to London & people are azzholes
@@bradscrazylife4269 yeah we aren't up ourselves like people in England are mate... We're friendly savages up here 😂😂
@@johnnycobb00 I used to live on Arran on the west coast (which I sorely miss), now in Edinburgh (home for decades), but the city is changing, in ways I don't like but won't go into here. I'd like to move somewhere more rural again, an island preferably, but realistically it'll be somewhere within Midlothian due to family connections. I'm visiting Arran in October, an annual jaunt to a village cemetery, but such islands on the west are indeed wonderful places, whether it's Arran, Skye or countless others, and the locals are indeed friendly. After spending three years dealing with my late parents' estate there up until 2022, something I miss about the place is that walking past a stranger on a road who does not say hello is considered unusual.
I get the appeal of places like Edinburgh for tourists (or any city), it has the sights, the history, etc. But the social fabric of urban places paints a different picture, cities are places where one can be surrounded by half a million people and still be completely alone. Strangers on buses don't talk to each other, whereas on Arran they absolutely do, indeed not chatting to random folk would be considered rude.
Cold and wet but still smiling. It's official you guys are real tourists!
Edinburgh is a very small but beautiful capital city with a big heart.
I’m excited to hear your news! 💜
I’m laughing to myself watching this, when you said it’s a storm 😂welcome to a normal rainy day in Edinburgh I love that you came back to our beautiful city even with the storm 😂take care guys
Never thought I'd see Dumbiedykes on a travel vlog😂 (13:54). The rain keeps our beautiful country green and adds atmosphere to the hills & mountains.
Edinburgh is a beautiful city.
It’s not offensive to imitate different accents. It’s a skill and fun to try and perfect. Very good for the brain.
Welcome home 😊
There’s a song called Sunshine on Leith from a movie , sung by a two brother ( twins ) band called the Proclaimers . A local football team called the Hibernian or Hibs are situated in Leith . Look up a video called Hibernian fans sung Sunshine on Leith . You will enjoy it I’m sure . It was a cup game and they lost but while they were waiting to be allowed to leave after the opposing ( Rangers ) fans had left they began to sing .
I think you are talking about 21 May 2016. Hibs actually won the cup that year beating Rangers 3-2. One of the best days of my life. Love these guys vlogs by the way.
Thank you for the way you portray our beautiful city in video 1 and the 'sequel' So sorry you ran into Storm Jocelyn on ur return..Hope your luggage turned up? Looking forward to your next video featuring Glencoe.
You’re always welcome in Scotland.
Fantastic! For 8 years I used to live a few minutes walk away from Holyrood Palace, the Parliament, the Royal Mile and Arthur's Seat. Always fun to walk to work on a regular day when it was chucking it down!
Tesco Cowgate. A familiar place. When I worked the council museums it was my Museum of Edinburgh grab sandwich spot. I may have more to say than that as this video plays.
I went back twice. 1st time alone in 2019. And then with my now husband this year for our mini moon. Edinburgh is so beautiful. When i suggested to my husband about going to Scotland, hes in the forces, for his work he was against it until we went there and he loved it.
You need a food plan or drinking plan for visiting Leith. It's definitely more neighbourhood than attraction. Restaurant hub though.
There's a Scottish border town called Gretna Green where young lovers used to elope to to get married. It's still got at least three wedding chapels...just saying 😀🥂
Hehe 😋 good to know!
We'll just say this: A few months from now, there MIGHT be a Scotland-related announcement on this channel, and it MIGHT be in some way related to your comment. Not directly related, but also not entirely unrelated.
Holyrood Palace. I've actually not been on the tour as, like Brian, I'm not a big royal follower. I did enter once for free though as the late Queen invited me for afternoon tea in the garden. I say invited me, I was actually my Wife's +1. Sandwiches were on point.
Okay, this comment demands an explanation. The Queen invited your wife for tea? Do tell!
@@qlctravelsEvery year the Queen held (and I assume now the King holds) 4 garden parties. 3 at Buckingham Palace and 1 at Holyrood. The invitees are people who have done good works. My wife has long worked in charities. We were invited. There are a couple of hundred at the tea party including some other dignitaries too. For example then first minister Nicola Sturgeon (a lovely person in person who my wife has met while charity working before).
Welcome back home again !!! XXX
Welcome back guys. The 2nd part of your vid might explain why many of us Scots like a wee dram.😂
"We dive into a dark doorway
Hiding from the clouds of grey
I don't mind it at all
We stay close to one another
Laughing as we watch the waterfall
Rain Scottish rain
Rain Scottish rain
Rain Scottish rain"
By a wee Scottish band called The Silencers. Look em up?!
Wish we could have arranged better weather for you but so pleased you enjoyed yourselves regardless. Don't be a stranger 😁
What Hotel did yall stay at- we stayed in A Airbnb when we were there in July. But personally Edinburgh was my favorite place of all of Scotland. St Andrews is up there. Next time I want to go to Isle of Skye. We did Edinburgh/FT William/Inverness/St Andrews. Next time I want to stay in the highlands longer. It’s just so beautiful there.
That's Cowgate Travelodge
If you go to Skye I think you'd love it. I think of Skye as greedy because it has most of the best Scottish landscape features crammed onto one island - also seals. But if you get the chance, consider looking into a little place called Plockton. It's quite near the bridge going to Skye and it has a micro climate all of its own. Palm trees grow there. Not kidding.
Sympathise over the lost baggage. Happened to us when we went to Vienna. That's when I found out that the "48 Hour" promise by my deodorant was true! 😂 (and fortunately, when we asked our hotel, they provided complimentary toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc., too). Pity about the weather when you arrived in Edinburgh. When we went to Sydney, Australia, we arrived just before a cyclone hit the city! Sometimes it's just your luck (didn't stop us having a good time). 😄
You brought the weather again
Heavy rain is usually accompanied by strong gusts of wind here in Edinburgh, I'm afraid! Umbrellas are therefore a bit of a pain - far better a hat with a nice wide brim, under a hooded waterprooof coat, as you've still got your hands free. Add scarves and gloves in winter and you'll be just fine - all of which you'll learn once you move to downtown Leith, huh? Please know, if that's your plan, you're most welcome here - it's only England that has the big chip on its shoulder, about immigration: we Scots recognise that we can't live as part of the modern world just on our own strength, and that we need your skills and experiences to get by! It's also the kind of place that all yout friends and family will want to visit, over and over if they can, so what is there to lose?!! Those Highland day trips you're doing are a reasonable introduction to some of the popular spots, but as I expect you'll be realising by now, the very best places are those that you'll find once you're near enough to go out on weekend trips of your own... I look forward to your other videos!
Fun though it is to let everyone speculate, we should probably clarify that we aren't moving to Scotland -- at least not any time soon (although there IS a major Scotland announcement we'll be making in the near future that's unrelated to this video, but is still quite momentous). A few people have drawn the same conclusion about moving to Leith, and we worry that section of the video may be raising expectations a bit higher than we intended, so just know it's nothing as extreme as moving.
As an English, they're a bunch of idiots those people. Unfortunately. What you said reminded me of what Stephen Flynn, of the SNP, said during the campaigning for the general election. We need people, in general in the UK but some English are so prideful they think they can do everything with nothing. 🙄
We Scots recognise we can’t live as part of the modern world just on our own strength? I agree. That’s why we have the …. wait for it ….. English to help us along and the Welsh and the northern Irish for that matter in the wonderfully strong, collegiate, diverse United Kingdom. I’m sure you agree don’t you? You definitely wouldn’t want to be anti English would you? Borderline racist/xenophobic?!
The weather has been fab all week until you arrived 😅
Youre moving to leith?
Britain is going down the toilet, I wouldn't advise any foreigner to move to anywhere in the UK, certainly not Leith.
No, they're buying the Royal Yacht Britannia to allow more travel and less lost luggage.
No, no, it's nothing THAT extreme. 😋
Because we live on an island , the weather is unpredicable !!! Sorry !!!
You should be more careful. I think it is against the law filming or photos in immigration
Welcome back.
I'm so glad you made a return visit to my favourite city in the UK. I'm like you with regards to the weather in Edinburgh - I can think of no better place to be in a monsoon! 😊
Our thoughts exactly!
Looking forward to the next one. It may even have inspired me to start editing my 7 part West Highland Way vlog from June.
First 🎉
Impressive! 😄
guys this is just a bit of british humour, ment to make you smile, through your troubles, something you may not of noticed lol,
before you went out, we will get underwear tomorrow, i guess it was not needed lol this is the funny bit at 12.20 you looked to be buying baby oil and stood next to condoms, was that a theme lol, just trying to make light and bit of fun, something funny for you 5 star guys to look back on, watch it back lol
Oh yes, we noticed the condoms while watching the video right before posting! 😆 Gotta get the essentials, you know? 😏
(But seriously, we were chatting yesterday while watching it back about how odd it is that the contact solution and toothbrushes were casually right next to condoms. Looking at everything on that shelf, those Durex boxes seem sooooooo out of place 😂)
@@qlctravels as long as you guys laugh about it, its good for me, you know the british humour, we find fun in anything, and make light of of bad, and i do know you need the essentials, tooth brush, tooth paste, bit of the packet of how is your father in back pocket, been there dont it my friend, great video's, and a wonderful couple
as we say in the UK your punching above your weight there, (means you have a lovely girl on your arm, its a complimant you your better half)
@@qlctravels talling condoms, im 60 years old, back in the day, they were not to easy to get, late 70's 80's, machine in toilet, hairdressers, always ask after the haircut, would like something for tonight, and chemist's. is was tough back then, the in the late 90's they brought a brand out called mates', hence the joke, on a night out, you taking your mates with you. it broke down walls, now they easily sold,
