Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and really is a stunning and historic city well worth a visit if you are travelling up north of the border, or if you are Scottish but for some reason haven't visited yet.
Edinburgh is Scotland's compact, hilly capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials.
Cockburn Street Edinburgh a winding street that joins Edinburgh's Royal Mile at the High Street to Waverley Bridge Edinburgh's main Rail Station.
Victoria Street is one of the city's prettiest streets and was built between 1829-34 as part of a series of improvements to the Old Town, with the aim of improving access around the city. It's thought to be the inspiration for Harry Potter Diagon Alley

Caught me by the heart. Edinburgh is among my favorite cities in the world. Top Five....and closer to the top of the Top. Wonderful
Agreed! What a great city!
I totally agree with you, Edinburgh is awesome. I’ve watched a few times for my afternoon relaxation hour and it’s always uplifting. So gothic and glorious!
Hell yeah!
I was there about 3 years ago and I love the city I hope to come back there someday and see it again it has great souvenirs is a beautiful city and there are many other beautiful cities in Europe I plan on coming back there someday and seeing all of them
Nice tour, when I was in Edinburgh late Sept-Oct 2023, what about Marriott hotel next to the playhouse, also near Sherlock statue as well Conan Doyle Pub/Inn, Robt Burns monument, so forth, thanks for the walk, better then I with the Strong Arm cane I had to use.
Ahh. Greyfriars Bobby. Such a sad but heart-warming story about the faith of a small dog to his master. Disney made a movie of it in the early 60s. I believe there was a restaurant nearby where old Jock would eat, and they fed the little dog for years after Jock passed. Initially they tried to shoo the dog away from the cemetery when they closed the gates at night, but the little dog wouldn't have it. He had to sleep by his master's grave.
Thank you for the tour. I'll have to get back there sometime between now and when I'm gone.
It’s just a story, it’s not real.
Such a beautiful place!! And the fairytale towns like Dean Village.
Oh yes
Another great walk lovely city was there some years ago love to go back keep up the good work
Thanks Tony!
If you turn right at the next corner you find yourself heading toward Belles Brae and Dean bridge. Turn left there and descend down to Dean Village. Spend a while there and then find your way back to the main stone bridge and turn left heading alongside the Water of Leith which takes you down to the lovely town of Stockbridge via a lovely place called St. Bernards Well. Find your way around out of the town and you end up on Leith walk heading back and coming out on, Princes Street opposite the Balmoral Hotel.
Love all your videos especially Edinburgh....like the way you put up the streets so we know where to go when we go.
Thank you Donna! Really appreciate that 👍❤️

Brilliantly done Thanks
Another wonderful Edinburgh video!👏 We are taking a trip through on Sunday😊. Always shed a tear over Greyfriars Bobby. The wee pile of sticks left for him.😪😪
Great place Edinburgh lots old buildings great history past
Why not Ilse of man great place visit lots places ther to see
It's an amazing place I love it because my heart is there
The Church of St John the Evangelist, is a Scottish Episcopal church in the centre of Edinburgh. It is sited at the west end of Princes Street at its junction with Lothian Road, and is protected as a category A listed building.
On the left as you go in the door is a plaque for a John Stuart Forbes (J S Hiley) who had to leave Edinburgh in disgrace and ended up in America and his bad luck followed him as he joined the US Cavalry and landed in the 7th and went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn.
The grandfather of American folk singer Joan Baez, William Henry Bridge was Minister here and her mother Joan Chando Bridge was born in Edinburgh and baptised in St Johns.
Proud to live there 🤘
Proud I was born there! 😊
Comment 100, that's me, yes really good, as the gal below pointed out: gothic, but quite pretty as well; unique, could be going there. Great video.
Nice video. At 8:44 to the right of Bertie's Fish Restaurant is a venue called the Liquid Room. We did a gig there back in the day. As you say Edinburgh is truly a beautiful city.
Ahhhhh Edinburgh, love it there. but so many new areas you showing me. Need to return! I loved Victoria Street! The story of the dear little dog brought tears to my eyes such devotion! Glad the girl's foot was ok, thought she might have sprained it. :(
A very nice walk and a I especially liked Victoria Street with it's arches and colourful frontages 😍
Thanks for the trip - keep em coming 😃💯👍
Hey mate great walk round again thanku looks a good place too visit one day 💯😊
Oh it’s the best!
Very good tour indeed it is
❤️❤️❤️
Good job man Thank you 👍😎
Wonderful would have loved to see the Victoria terrace view
Will be doing that in summer for sure!
May I ask when this was filmed? The weather seemed nice but a bit coldish and I'm trying to figure out the best time to visit Edinburgh again. 😊
I really liked your video, so keep going! 💐 Greetings from Berlin!
Heya thank you and hello to Berlin!
This was filmed in mid January so was a bit dull
Best time of all to go Edinburgh would be during the fringe in summer or at Christmas / New Year I reckon!
Learmonth Gardens is a quiet street in the respectable district of Comely Bank in Edinburgh. But one of its houses has a disturbing history. In the mid 1930s, the house was occupied by a baronet, Sir Alexander Seton, and his family. The family took a trip to Egypt and brought back a souvenir that they would later regret ever having set eyes upon.The trip to Egypt incorporated a visit to the Temple of Luxor and in spite of the fact that it was illegal to remove anything from the tombs, Lady Seton picked up a small bone as a memento and brought it back to Scotland with her. The bone was placed in a glass case in the dining room. The family had hardly settled back into normal life when strange and disturbing things started to happen. Crashing sounds were heard and furniture was found in disarray. Ornaments were found broken in rooms that had been empty. Lady Seton fell suddenly and inexplicably ill with a mystery complaint. Time and time again, the family were disturbed by strange occurrences which had no explanation at all. Strangest of all was a ghostly figure in long robes that appeared in the house to several people, residents and visitors alike. Servants of the family became unnerved and sought employment elsewhere. At one point Sir Alexander lent the bone to a scientist friend and the ghost disappeared from Learmonth Gardens, only to be seen in the home of his friend. Such a story could not remain a secret long, and soon the Edinburgh newspapers were full of stories of the ‘Curse of the Pharaoh’ as they called it. The bone was returned to Learmonth Gardens and once more the furniture seemed to take on a life of its own. Sir Alexander himself became ill and eventually surrendered the bone to a priest. The bone was exhumed and then burnt and thankfully the torment came to an end.
Crikey! That's a chilling story
Beautiful old buildings many needing maintenance ,some with awful modern additions , elegant shops of the past now gone.
Tatty garish shops for tourists, shabby grey pedestrians, roads in need of repair..... .I lived there for fifty years and feel sad for the city of former days !
Next to Scarborough , Edinburgh is my favourite place 😀
I agree with you! What a place!
A great video - what a beautiful city!
It’s such an amazing place
Am hoping to visit this year any recommendations for cheap accommodation and would you recommend coach or train we can't drive and internal flights are exortionate
7:44 you said this is the most photographic street in Edinburgh it used to be Dean Village, took over my friend still a wonderful street alot of building work just now witch will last till 2023 and also the street will become a road again as council as for all seating areas to be removed.
My favourite city followed by York. Done a ghost wall in greyfriars. You missed Bobbies owners grave about thirty feet along from the wee dugies.
York was, London is, but Edinburgh will be ... the biggest and Bonniest o’ the three ...
Passed many times on A1,but never been,but looks like a nice city .
It’s the greatest!
Which camera sir.? Take Care ✌️
An absolutely amazing city, been there twice and need to go back!
Great isn’t it!
Carlton Hill , Water of Leith through the City
👍👍👍
Just a slight correction, it's CALTON Hill.
❤️
Nice City
The Laws in Scotland on visiting pubs and restaurants during the time of Covid restrictions were ridiculous though . We visited many pubs along the royal mile and the wider City, only to be told we had to have a sit down meal if we were coming in ! Apparently in Scotland Covid doesn’t infect you if you eat an extortionately priced meal 👍
ha ha good point! mad when you think about it!
Another great walk but you are walking so fast - to keep warm ? - that my laptop is overheating !!
Ah did I walk too fast on this one?
@@GimbalWalkTV ...............and so many towns in such a short period !! How about a commercial for your FWT's rather than those b----y flowers :>)
👍👍👍
It might be a very big irony, and it's true that Edinburgh has had no such development, comparing with London, but historic buildings like jewels have survived at the end. I guess it's a big fortune in anyhow. Any city folk and natives feel very sad, after many buildings of some hundreds years are torn down, generally speaking.
You passed Bobby's fountain! You're supposed to touch his nose for luck.
Oh no! Didn't know that! Will do that in summer when I go back!
@@GimbalWalkTV as soon as you left the graveyard, look to the left. The statue was orientated so that the namesake pub is in the background (as requested by the pub). The pub was apparently where Bobby ate his meals, going there upon hearing the 1 o'clock gun.
The fountain/statue to Bobby is passed at 18:25 . It's a misconception that it's a tradition to rub the nose - it was never a tradition and has only been something that started a few years ago - damaging the statue. Please don't do it!
It’s beautiful no doubt but now in these days this city loosing lots of places which is very sad 😞.
Glasgow over Edinburgh any day
Southport
Ooh cracking idea!
your film is really impressive👍, would you like to film in China next time ?
One day!
A tour of Edinburgh without walking through the new town 🤭 next time hopefully…
Definitely! It’s one of a series this David 👍
27:42 hahaha poor girl
🤣🤣🤣
No words, pish
Pish??
No good without commentary
28000 subscribers says you're wrong
@@GimbalWalkTV you're the only one up til now, I'll wait.
@@alexandergrant4702 Wait for what?
My beautiful Edinburgh, I love my home town , though through fate moved south , but SNP have ruined my beloved city
How have SNP ruined your city?
When was the city so great in your eyes?
@@New-ye2fl trams, poverty, poor social housing, rotholes, bins, rubbish, crap bus service
@@crazyforcoffee5950 trams are brilliant to use and will be beneficial to the city long term, aye the journey getting here has been a disaster, trust me I know, i live in leith and commute to work everyday via public transport, and it’s never been as bad as it’s been over the past few months with leith walk being pretty much closed down.
Spent my whole life in North Edinburgh, granton, Royston, leith, pilton etc if you’re going to sit there and claim these poor areas in Edinburgh are worse or even as bad as when I was growing up in them over the past 34 years then sorry but you’re talking complete pish.
Aye litter is a complete disgrace in this city atm
Crap bus service? Edinburgh aka Lothian buses are brilliant, again, I use them everyday, massively improved over the years, aye it’s been mayhem down this way for the past couple years but it will be beneficial long term, especially for this side of town.
Could you do leith?
That's a great idea - yes definitely!

Neil. - Gimbal Walk TV ❤️
pity about the roads.
After being badly beaten up and hospitalised for a week it tarnished my opinion of this city. I add that it was an unprovoked attack and racist because many profanities were uttered about me being English.
I;m sorry to hear that Aidan but many English people have made Edinburgh their home and have not experienced any bother at all.
No longer auld reekie!
👍👍👍❤️
Cafes, not cafe’s.
Ok
Total concrete, time for a new era and planting plants and trees. These streets are the fall of humanity. I thought it was much prettier out there. Disappointed.
