Thanks for the suggestions- just too little time last trip but will be back later this year. Witchery is on the itinerary, we also want to try the whiskey bar at the Balmoral. Plus some great new boutique hotels to try!!!
Please don't forget the other Great towns and cities in Scotland. I can recommend a trip to Isle of Skye via Glencoe With a return trip through Perthshire.
@@daleydepartures, As I said before, You will not be disappointed. If you take a bad picture in The Highlands, There is something wrong with your camera 🤣. Where ever you go in the World, have a safe trip. We look forward to seeing you back in Scotland.
You will have an amazing time - is such a great city and we are heading back end of the year for the Christmas markets and do do some of the other things we couldn’t fit in this trip!
You will love it! We are already planning to come back for the Christmas markets - though weather definitely better in the summer!!! Have a great time!
Edinburgh is a very safe destination but when out and about please keep your valuables well out of reach. Unfortunately there is a blight of foreign pick pockets and tourists do tend to stand out a wee bit.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback - is very much appreciated! We are hoping to make a return trip later in the year for some new content so make sure you subscribe for updates.
Outstanding! I really love Edinburgh. It is one of my favorite Cities anywhere! This was one of the best videos of this magnificent City I have seen. You also showed a few different places here that I have not seen before. I also really loved that! Also, your filming was wonderful with an excellent Commentary as well. Thank you for sharing this delightful experience in the truly captivating City of Edinburgh!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! This was one of our first videos but always looking on how to improve them. We plan to be back later in the year, so look out for some more videos!
Awesome editing and you captured the city beautifully. And lots of great info for visitors :) I definitely recommend the Witchery for your next visit. Proper medieval interior which adds to the experience. I look forward to watching the rest of your vids for my tourist info for my city breaks. Thanks 🙏 😊
Many thanks for the positive feedback and glad you enjoyed the video! We are hoping to be back later in the year so look out for some more Edinburgh videos (including the Witchery!)
We are visiting next week. Great video! When was this filmed? Curious about them temperature there. Forecasts look decent but not sure. Noticed people in shorts and tees. Thanks!
Thanks for the positive feedback! We visited in June so weather was at its best (for Scotland!) but still was be very changeable. Waterproof and layers is the best option - even I would not have been brave enough for shorts!!!
I’d be interested to know just when you went to Edinburgh considering all the face masks still being worn. Yours is a pretty balanced overview for the first-time visitor. One small mistake was your mispronunciation of Cockburn Street: it’s actually pronounced ‘ko-burn’ in the same manner as the Port. For anyone visiting I’d recommend seeing the New Town. Also perhaps avoid going during the Festivals unless you’re going to attend events. If you head down to visit the statue of Greyfriars Bobby located at Greyfriars Kirkyard please don’t touch his snout. This is not an Edinburgh tradition but started in the last couple of decades by some misguided tour guide. It has resulted in considerable wear on this iconic wee statue. Finally I would avoid the tourist shops on the Royal Mile. They all are owned by the one company and sell poor quality tartan tat which is certainly not made in Scotland.
Many thanks for the feedback and apologies for the mispronunciation! Our channel was delayed launching for over a year and this was one of the earliest videos we filmed. It was in June at the tail end of the last covid Covid restrictions however have tried to edit to show current experiences would still be relevant. We are pleased to say we will be back in Edinburgh later this year for the Christmas markets and showcase some different sides to this amazing city than the usual tourist hotspots!
@@daleydeparturesJust in case you are not clear, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is not the whole of the festival. The original Festival was, and still is, called The Edinburgh International Festival. This is the "festival proper" which started in 1947. It is a series of "high culture" performances by opera, ballet, orchestras, dance, and theatre companies,etc. They can feature world famous orchestras and ballet companies such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Bolshoi Ballet, and world famous classical musicians such as pianists Lang Lang and Mitsuko Uchida. Shortly after the official festival began, performers with no official invite to the festival, many of them University revue groups, such as The Cambridge Footlights and others, would arrive in the City when the official Festival was on the go. They would perform in any available venue, such as church haĺls. These informal groups of performers became known as the Festival Fringe. Many of today's well known performers, such as John Cleese and Michael Palin originally performed in the Fringe. Since then, the Fringe has grown enormously, to the point where it has dwarfed the official Festival. A surprising number of people don't know that the official Festival exists. All they have heard about is this thing called "The Edinburgh Fringe Festival ".
Nice ❤
Thank you for the positive feedback!
The Witchery is a must. You will not be disappointed, also try Afternoon Tea at the Balmoral hotel.

Rest assured we are planning a road trip series next year where we will be getting out of the city and around the Highlands!

I used to work in the Balmoral many moons ago when it was called The North British Hotel.
My most favorite city I’ve been to. Thankyou from America 🇺🇸!
Thanks John - am planning another trip later in the year so look out for some videos with some different sides to such an amazing city!
I'm going next week. This vlog was amazing! Thank you for sharing. It will be my first time in Scotland.
