Still watching every week and still fighting the cancer (3 years of traveling thru Edinburgh with ya) ….and you’re still helping with my fight ! Thank you. Thank you loads.
I have a similar story. I am in Nevada. I will soon be taking my first international trip and I chose Edinburgh. I'm going for Fringe. I been planning for 3 years actually (saving up).
I'm from the Isle of wight, I visit Scotland 2 - 3 times a year. This week I was in Edinburgh with my daughter, im ever so grateful that she loves Scotland as much as I do. I have arranged for some of my ashes to be in Edinburgh and some to be with my granddaughter, ive told my daughter that once that's done she can smoke the rest 😁
Great to see people again! I can't recommend The Scotch Whisky Experience enough Tony. Even those that don't care for the drink will find it interesting. Great place to dine prior to the Tattoo as well.
Another enjoyable and informative view of my old home town. I checked out the previous video of your tour of Gladstone’s Land …good stuff. I know the information you provide is mainly for tourists, but for people like me who have lived abroad for many years, it is such a joy. Thanks Tony.
Heading to Scotland in a few weeks and have enjoyed watching your videos. They have really helped me plan our trip. Thank you for the airport tram video. I always want to know the best way to travel from an airport. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
You know it's spring, when Tony is out in the sun, without his headgear! 🧢 Lovely video... I understand your love for the city...extra gorgeous on a sunny day! ☀️ can't wait to visit in July 💙 hello from Denmark 🌸🌱
Hello again, I am with you at the bottom of the Canongate looking up the road and my goodness the buildings didn’t look like that when I was a chlld playing with my school friend in White Horse Close.I had another friend who lived in a stair which has been taken in with the childhood museum. It had a circular stone staircase and as har family lived in one room, we played on the stairs.
Thank you , Tony! Your videos are always packed with great information and humor. :) Makes me smile and laugh and I can't wait for my trip next year!!!
Closing in on booking my June trip, I’m getting so excited for ALL the things on the Royal Mile. I loved the Fringe but really missed out on some sights, thanks for another video to further convince me me, all the saving/waiting has been worth it! Have a nice weekend.
I just arrived home from the City on Friday. After yet another wonderful Trip! 5 days of Superb Weather. Walked everywhere from my Hotel on Frederick St. Botanical Grdns, Inverleith Park/Lake, Dean Village, Princes St. Then I did the reverse of your Trip. Top to Bottom. Branching off here and there (Bank Museum. Greyfriars Kirk). It took me all day. And the Students were Protesting at the Parliament!!! lol. On Thursday I walked to Portobello Seafront. Then on to Musselburgh. Stunning wee Spots. I didn't see Davy The Piper, once. As we usually have a wee chat. Is he ill...? Tony. And thanks again for all your tips, my Friend. Take care...O
Edinburgh was beautiful this past week, enjoyed the Royal Mile, Princes Street, the gardens. Gray Friars Kirkyard, saw Tom Riddel's tombstone. The National museum was great and just loved the observation deck. Tony, we loved your castle. As hard as we looked we could not find your name, lol. Loved your city and can't wait to revisit it. P.S. Greggs is the best. Loved the sausage roll and the bacon bunties. Sorry we did see you on the street. Wish your wife a happy mother's day.
I absolutely love your videos! I will be visiting Scotland (and maybe the rest of the UK…maybe) for a couple of months beginning after Fringe this year so this updated info is also much appreciated! Thank you!
Another brilliant video Tony, thank you. Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful and interesting places on the planet.. can’t wait till September when I’ll be there again. Best wishes to you and all the family x
Absolutely love your videos, I only live over the water in Fife and I'm in Edinburgh a lot pretending to be a tourist, your videos give me more to see and do, thanks Broonfords ❤️ Will be over in Edinburgh a week on Tuesday for a couple of nights with the hubby 😍 We are going to see Jack Savoretti at Usher Hall on the Tuesday and I'll use any excuse to stay for a couple of days 😂 Thinking of going to Gladstone Land on the Wednesday as been wanting to do it since I saw your video on it 👌
Every time you do these tours my heart strongly hopes to see White Horse Close again (I stayed in an apartment there in Sept 2019 and would LOVE to see it, it's so lovely - and you skipped it AGAIN! Nooooooo! ... sigh... But thanks for the lovely tour anyway. ;) Hi from Canada.
Hi I have been watching your videos for the entire pandemic 😁thanks for being a bright spot. We had a trip to Scotland planned August 2020 and well… that didn’t happen. it is now on for Sept 2022 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻your videos are so helpful!! Question what’s the best way to find reputable tour companies/ guides our plans a few days in Edinburgh ( you have made our Edinburgh plans easy) then take a train to Inverness for a few days. We “need” 😁to do the Jacobite steam train Isle of sky Culloden it’s the Inverness part I’m wondering about, we don’t want to rent a car the whole other side of the road thing…. Sorry this is so long any help would greatly be appreciated
I ken ye are always looking for ideas for your videos. I suggest a walk up the Royal Mile where you meet six interesting characters:Wullie Wallace;John Knox;Oor Wullie;Pa Broon;Mary Queen of Scots;and Nicola Sturgeon.Just a wee bit o drama if ye are ok with a wee bit o drag and nae need tae shave off your beard tony.Oor Wullie:”Have ye seen my bucket?”Costume:overalls ,spiky hair wig,and tackety boots. Queen of Scots could say “i knew i would get ahead as Queen”get it? Pa Broon:”care for a granny sooker?”Sturgeon:”if ye nae for independence ye are nae a true Scot!”Wallace:”i eat Sassenachs for breakfast!”Gie it a go tony!
Hi Tony. I will be comin for a bit of a visit in August (Fringe) and stayin on the royal mile, near St. Giles. Where would I go for basic groceries? How about, a forgotten toothbrush, Ibuprofen, anything basic I forgot to pack?
Tony, do you know what the buildings are behind you, near the castle grounds entrance, at about 15:59 or so? There's a row of them, with the one nearest the street being white with reddish trim & roof. Then an orange building, and a couple more white buildings. Just residential...? Just curious, and thought if anyone knew, you would :) Thanks!
Tony , On my list , National War Museum is free to enter? just like the National Army Museum, and the Imperial War Museum in London. Off the street and straight in, taking our time. Well I am a bit slow-witted at times but to get to the National War Museum which is advertised is free to enter, I have to enter the grounds of a Castle which I have no interest in, sorry, and pay £18 x 2 . We are up in late May 22 to see the City with my daughter. £36 can be used for something else . English language definition , “FREE” without cost or payment? Ps We normally put in a few quid in the pot when visiting free museums to help with the upkeep. Are you able to explain this anomaly please?
John Knox House is a beautiful old building, whoever decided it would be a good idea to put that hideous advertising placard for haggis, neeps & tatties there should be fired from the one o'clock gun! 🙄
Hello, I wish to take issue with you about a video you made two years ago about the Cowgate. You said you had no idea who Cardinal Beaton was or where his house once stood. Shame on you. His house was where what was the infant section of St Ann’s School stands and he was ready to step in for Mary Queen of Scots, if necessary. You need to brush up on your history. Incidentally, I was born a stone’s throw from the spot. 87 years ago.
Still watching every week and still fighting the cancer (3 years of traveling thru Edinburgh with ya) ….and you’re still helping with my fight ! Thank you. Thank you loads.
So glad the videos make you smile. You don't need to thank me for anything, I'm not doing anything.
Great video! Can't wait for our trip there in Nov. Scotland is my favorite place to go. 🏴💙
I've watched a few of your video's and now I'm obsessed with Edimburgh! I have to come and visit! Great video!
Thank you!! Only 40 days till I see this beautiful city. Coming from Orlando, FL - my first international trip ever!!
I hope you enjoy your trip and have plenty time to explore Edinburgh 😍
@@MrsStorrEst aww thank you!

Alive!. Looks like the Edinburgh I know and love. Great to see people out....and it's Spring!
Always enjoy these walks Mr. Broonford. Thanks.
Nice to see people on the Royal Mile. Another great video.

This was so nice to watch! We've missed Edinburgh and can't wait to come back across this summer. 😃 Thanks for keeping the videos coming.
Can’t wait to get back there, great video Tony
Never tire of learning and having fun by watching your videos. I’m also enjoying the new way you start & finish of your videos. Nice touch!
Thanks for sharing, love the new logo 🥰
Thanks for the great video, we will be there in ten days to enjoy our favorite city.
Hi from South Australia I’m hoping to be in your wonderful city in sept 22 👍

Thank you so much for this video. Its very helpful! Visiting Scotland for the first time very soon.
Lots of tourists go to the mass graves of the Jacobites at Culloden. Have you made a video about it? I can’t find one. Thank you
Definitely have the castle on my list!
It's been ages since I been to the royal mile how life keep safe
Again: interesting and helpful 👍🍀🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video, Tony. Is this John Knox the one that went after Mary Queen of Scots?
My granddaughter and I are visiting Edinburgh in June. We are very excited?
Nice vlog tony

If you have the means when you go to Scotland you need to visit Stirling castle. I feel it give Edinburgh castle a run for its money.

Hi Tony, can you tell me if Edinburgh has anything planned for the queen's jubilee as I will be visiting around that time?
Im afraid i don't know.
John Knox House is a beautiful old building, whoever decided it would be a good idea to put that hideous advertising placard for haggis, neeps & tatties there should be fired from the one o'clock gun! 🙄
When are you starting your wee girls training as your camera person ?
Hello,

You need to brush up on your history.

I apologise. Is I have said many times I'm not a historian, I just enjoy it. Thank you for telling me about him.
Y@@ClanBroonford
You are forgiven. Keep up the good work.
Amazing. 87 years ago…
This was so nice to watch! We've missed Edinburgh and can't wait to come back across this summer. 😃 Thanks for keeping the videos coming.
