Have a good an healthy weekend everyone. Whoever clicked the "Thumb Down-Button": Are you sure that this channel is the right one for you? We are here to support The Broonfords and if some content is not the one you hoped for, you still should be nice. There are lots of videos on RUclips who deserve this button for sure but not this channel.
I agree! But the jokes on them because a thumbs down is still actually a positive thing for us creators - the worst thing for us is indifference. Stat/algorithm-wise, whichever way the thumb goes is positive.
I walked this almost daily when I had a normal working week, loved most of it. We found the Wild West in Morningside, never knew it was there. Thanks for that video.
Loved your video! Brought back memories - I used to walk along Shandwick Place from Haymarket Station to the office where I worked in the 1970s on the corner of Alva Street. Happier days.
I used to get off in Haymarket Station and walk to Lothian Road to work there at Edinburgh Cameras. I also worked in Frasers. I remember the smell of hops. I love your videos! Memories. Thank you!
Thank you for the trip to Haymarket. It was an area of Edinburgh that I didn't get to explore when I was there. I too love the architecture! Edinburgh is a beautiful city.
My heart almost stopped at the beginning of the vlog, that truck was so close to you Tony!! Loved the walk, it's exciting getting to see different parts of Edinburgh. Hope you and the family are safe and happy (and not too tired!!) 😃
I adore the different architechtures of Edinburgh! The small balconies are called 'Juliettes' (Romeo & Juliet)not really for standing on, but for leaning out and speaking to your neighbors... It works best down south, think of the small narrow streets of Napoli, Firenze and Roma! 😉 Thank you for a lovely walk, Tony Say hello to the ladies of the house - love from Denmark 🌸💕
Thank you so much for this one Tony. We stayed in Haymarket on our trip to Edinburgh and walked this route every day. It brought back so many wonderful and cherished memories. We can’t wait to be able to make even more memories in this wondrous place.
Thank you so much for your virtual tours! I visit Scotland each year and honestly, it's what I live for. Since I can't visit now, your vlogs are the next best thing and have been such a pleasure during these crazy times. You are so good at what you do - informative and you make me laugh. Thanks again!
We lived on the top floor at 26 W. Maitland St around 1960 when I was little. We emigrated to Canada in ‘63, but on a visit to Edinburgh in the 80’s , I rang the bell and asked to see it. They invited us in, and it was unchanged from when my Dad had decorated it years before! We were never allowed up the wooden steps in the box room up to the attic, as apparently you could walk the length of the street across all the top attics!
I thought this walk looked a wee bit familiar! That was my view every day as I walked into the city centre from my hotel every day back in 2018. This makes me miss Edinburgh so much more. Thank you for sharing this today!
That stair up to the window used to be the RBS Bank years ago. It was where a cash machine used to be - a rare breed these days of plastic. I know as a student 40+ years ago it was a stop to the pubs in Shandwick place and to get a bus home. I remember the pub now called the Fox and Faun in the 80's and the Grosvenor. Happy days! Will be visiting the old haunt of the Haymarket this Saturday with a few old pals after the Scotland v Georgia game. PS you passed by the best Nepalese restaurant in Edinburgh called the Khukuri. One pub gone is the Caledonia Ale House next to the Haymarket station. Knocked it down for a tram track - tragic!
Just got an Edinburgh travel journal & filled the 1st 2 pages from this week's vlog notes! Might need more copies to fill by the time we've saved up for the trip! Think I've said this before, but your vlogs are why we've decided to spend 3 more days in Edinburgh exploring on our own. Well, with the aid of our notes from your vlogs! Keep up the great work. Tony! Sorry you've been so exhausted, but you've a lovely reason to be exhausted these days!
Love the walks (and everything else you do on the channel). The walks always enlighten me and inspire me. I did see on this video where my son & I walked last year - it may be silly, but it made my heart happy for the memories 😊👩👦
Apologies if it's been mentioned before but, re: window tax, I learnt in Bath, similar Georgian architecture, that the window tax is the reason we have the expression "daylight robbery".
Thanks for all your Edinburgh videos. You were wondering what the Fox and Faun bar used to be called. As far as I can tell, the former names were (starting from the late 1960s), The Quaich, Nimmo's, Blake's, Jake's, Dan Mackay's, Au Bar, Fox & Faun. I remember it as The Quaich in the mid-1970s.
thank you so much for keeping me sane during this lockdown, love edinburgh but haven,t been able to get up there due to this covid, love my edinburgh fix watching your videos xxx
Love your video's. I am quite lucky to live only a few hours from Edinburgh so can visit regularly. When I walk down these streets it's good but not the same. Your presence and commentary really adds to these videos. I don't just watch for Edinburgh. I watch for you.
A step or two down the side streets off the main road in that area is well worth exploring. Lots of more interesting/quirky pubs, restaurants and shops (not chains). Well worth another video! 🙂
Hi Tony Thanks for the walk to Haymarket. At 14.15 you are standing on the corner of Grosvenor Street. In 1948 I was born at 9 Grosvenor Street. Thing have not changed a bit!! - except for the bus - it used to be a green SMT bus. Cheers and keep safe. Here in Melbourne we are enjoying our 16th consecutive day without any new COVID cases.
Stayed at an AirB&B directly across from Haymarket Station and another time at Darly and Richmond Place. There is that lovely pub Ryries in the square and lots of good restaurants and shops in the area. Try The Jolly Botanist on Morrison. I enjoy our wee walks Tony! Hope you, Kirsten and Lilian are well and happy.
Another great video Tony. I used to work on Shandwick Place years ago. Thanks for sharing. 😊 👍And, I'm with you, I definitely think the buildings on Coates and Atholl Crescent are Georgian. Judging by the windows and flat fronts and it's part of the new town, which was built in the Georgian period and they were completed in 1825. They would've been town houses at one point.
Thanks I enjoyed that walk! Those hooses are definitely Georgian. A note to the budget traveller..I stayed in those cityroomz, they were quite nice, and good value.
My wife and I stayed at the Caledonian a couple of years ago. The lobby, lounge, restaurant, and bar were very nice, and the staff/service was professional and polished. There was some major renovations (?) going on I think, as it seemed about half of the hotel was either temporarily or permanently unoccupied.
I must admit, I did not go into Haymarket. I need to do that next time. I think for me, it's like going to the ocean and not getting into it. I feel really dumb for not going just one more mile to the west. I passed it any number of times, but I didn't walk or go through it. Thank you for sharing.
Loved the video! Was going to stay in a lovely flat at Grosvenor Street, June this year, just were you stopped at Haymarket, but of course I had to cancel it. Hoping to go back next year!
Hey Tony, if you ever have a chance you should check out the The Georgian House on Charlotte Square. I think it's closed now but I saw it about 2 years ago while visiting. It's very cool to see how people lived in that time.
Any used bookstores & thrift shops you recommend? I'll be hunting for vintage juvenile mystery series books, miniatures & old hats & thought those types of stores wiuld be best for those things? Oh, & someone mentioned some awesome lamp store? Why is it awesome? Worth knocking up?
Joyce, there are 3 second hand book stores on West Port. It's just a few blocks down the street from the Grassmarket. They're all a little different, and really worth visiting.
@@JanGu1954 TYVM for the detailed info! Looking forward to hunting for British/Scottish editions of the series I collect. Cover arts are quite different from the American, so in looking forward to seeing editions in person as opposed to what you can see online.
Question: We're looking at a package trip of 3 days in London and 3 days in Edinburgh. But then we want to spend 3 more dats in Edinburgh before taking the train up to Dunans Castle to see our 1 square foot of properties in the castle grounds. So we're thinking of saving a ton of money by staying at the Edinburgh youth hostel for our extra 3 days. Could you check it out & do a vlog on it? Surely we're not the only ones looking to save money on lodging so we have more to spend on attractions & in the shops. Would greatly appreciate your input on it.
Hey, stay in the 'Hub by Premier Inn' in Torphicen Street, Haymarket. 4 mins walk from Haymarket Railway Station. Go for the 'Bigger Room' option if you need space either side of your bed. If not, go for the 'standard' double (smaller) room option at £29 per night right now. - One side of the double bed is against the wall, but also without breakfast or dinner, although £5 each day for breakfast per person if you want to add it. Food to be taken back to your room as well as free tea and coffee due to Covid. Free wifi. Rooms are 'immaculate' with large rainfall shower. Water is hot. Good heating and air conditioning. Can't fault this hotel. No alcohol at the bar right now, but if you like clean and very modern contemporary, then go for it!!. Love from Scotland, X.
Gutted that the Xmas market won't be happening this year. However, it's totally understandable. The Ghuillie Du is like something out of Harry Potter. I highly recommend The Rat Pack it's great for live jazz music. I always love learning about my hometown. Thanks for the history and video! What are your favourite Edinburgh views? :)
if you went just a little bit further you could have showed everyone the old Donaldsons school but perhaps next time? you are a busy dad though so can’t do everything ❤️
Can you believe it.. I was searching for walking tour from Haymarket to Princess Street and found u.. I was in Edinburgh in 2003.. I stayed at Haymarket, in one of good Hostel and usually walk to Princess Street for search of Job.. There was a information center at Princess Street who gave/ helped me with too much information on Hotels around Edinburgh... where I can apply for Job... Have visited and applied for job almost all the hotels.. Very nice people.. Except Apex hotel People.. Very rude.. Then I travelled to Leeds and worked with Radisson SAS.. If I m not wrong there was no tram during those days.. Please correct me if I am wrong.. U will be the first UK vloger (person) whom I have subscribed so far.. Please upload more videos. Love from India P. S. EXCUSE MY ENGLISH AS I M NOT ENGLISH
That was quick.. Highly recommended.. Can you please make videos on Hostel if possible.. So that anyone can stay and enjoy the beauty of Edinburgh please
Appreciated Sir.. One more Request I am Vegetarian as following Hindu Religion.. Please show us some of the Indian Restaurant or places where a vegetarian can eat please.. Also like to invite you to visit my country whenever things gets normal.. I love to take you for a tour of Statue of Unity .. Approximate heights of various notable statues Statue of Unity 240 m (790 ft) (incl. 58 m (190 ft) base) Over 128,000 tourists visited the statue in the 11 days after its opening to the public on 1 November 2018.[39] The daily average tourist footfall at Statue of Unity during November 2019 reached 15,036, outpacing the Statue of Liberty (which attracts around 10,000 daily visitors on average) *"Let us together beseech God Almighty to safeguard the entire world, to help us overcome this pandemic, to restore security, stability, healthiness, and prosperity, so that, after this pandemic is over, our world will become a better place for humanity and fraternity than ever before."*

Nice and energetic vlog dear 👍
My heart almost stopped at the beginning of the vlog, that truck was so close to you Tony!! Loved the walk, it's exciting getting to see different parts of Edinburgh. Hope you and the family are safe and happy (and not too tired!!) 😃
🤣🤣🤣
Same!!
Hi, I love your videos about the beautiful Haymarket!! So lovely!! Thanks, Love from Scotland, X.
I adore the different architechtures of Edinburgh! The small balconies are called 'Juliettes' (Romeo & Juliet)not really for standing on, but for leaning out and speaking to your neighbors...
It works best down south, think of the small narrow streets of Napoli, Firenze and Roma! 😉
Thank you for a lovely walk, Tony
Say hello to the ladies of the house - love from Denmark 🌸💕
Yes, I was hoping that Tony didn't test his theory that the little balconies can support people.😄
Thank you so much for this one Tony. We stayed in Haymarket on our trip to Edinburgh and walked this route every day. It brought back so many wonderful and cherished memories. We can’t wait to be able to make even more memories in this wondrous place.

Even though we're from (and live in) Edinburgh, your accent is just the best - love the twang!
Thanks very much. 😀
Your so lucky to live in Edinburgh. I would love to but circumstances don't allow it just yet. Great channel

We were never allowed up the wooden steps in the box room up to the attic, as apparently you could walk the length of the street across all the top attics!

Visiting in the fall. Do you have any other Haymarket videos about restaurants and pubs in the neighborhood?
A step or two down the side streets off the main road in that area is well worth exploring. Lots of more interesting/quirky pubs, restaurants and shops (not chains). Well worth another video! 🙂

would it be possible to show on a map prior to the walk....I love your walkabouts. Any review of the Caledonian Hotel?
My wife and I stayed at the Caledonian a couple of years ago. The lobby, lounge, restaurant, and bar were very nice, and the staff/service was professional and polished.

No, it was a local department store that has closed down.

What is your favorite food on the ghillie menu? It all looks so good but maybe it's because I'm hungry haha
