As a Birmingham lad, coming to Edinburgh was a complete culture shock! I knew it would be nice but the city completely blew me away! It's the most magical place I've ever visited. Love it!
Overlooked? It is second to London in the most visited UK cities. Can't move for tourists and insta folk. Overlooked cities of the world, Edinburgh isn't. If you'd said Ghent, Glasgow, Gdansk, Riga, Split etc etc, I'd agree.
@@graemefoxworthy2785 Overlooked may not have been the best word choice. When compared to the big European tourist spots (London, Paris, Rome, etc.) it doesn’t get as much attention. What a wonderful city! Hope to get back.
Just returned from my first overseas trip to Scotland from U.S. with my daughter. Mostly driving the Highlands and 2&1/2 days in Edinburgh, which surprised me how much I LOVED it. And now see how much we missed, though greatly enjoyed your video and revisiting a lot of places we did see. Glad to discover you!❤
Went to Uni in Edinburgh in the early 90’s and still have a fondness for the place. It was my first taste of peace having always lived in Belfast prior. Spent more than a decade after in Scotland. We’re spending a weekend over this august for the fringe.
This was almost like being in Edinburgh in person! You guys have the best adventures and are by far the best travel hosts. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and you just keep getting better and better all the time! Thanks for sharing. 🏴
It is definitely one of, if not our favourite city to visit. It just has such a unique look and feel and whatever time of year you visit it is full of life!
I have enjoyed your trip to my home city, I was born and raised in Edinburgh, I was never bored as a child growing up there, full of lots to do that you can go to for free.
Love this! Although I’m from Cambridge, I lived in Edinburgh for nine years and miss it! The Milkman is the best too. So glad you included the Heart of Midlothian this time, highlight of the area for me as a Hearts fan
We lived the coffee and pastries from The Milkman. We must have walked right over the heart of Midlothian on our first visit so glad we could include it for you this time!
Hi thanks for this great vlog what a lovely place Edinburgh is. I would love to go but i dont think my knees would cope with all of the hills but i thoroughly enjoyed watching you two navigate them. Have a great week guys xx
It is such an incredible city! There are other ways to see the sights without walking all the hills. Plenty of sightseeing buses and a decent tram network 😊
Congratulations guys, this has to be the best Edinburgh review ever in my opinion, your right, it is a beautiful city, so much to see and do, you did a brilliant job, fabulous weather to, thanks guys, loved it 👍
Thank you so much that is really kind of you. We love the city and already can’t wait to get back. Anything we missed that we should definitely do next time?
Have youz went down to mini-Amsterdam (Leith) and Portobello beach?( 10 times bigger than Benidorm) . If not,go on your next trip,as youve only seen about 10% of it on this clip!
Not yet, they are definitely on our list for next time though when we hope to spend a few days in Edinburgh. Still so much for us to see, do and explore but keep any recommendations coming 😊
@@JJExtra Hi JJ. Yes, South of Scotland is known about hidden of the southern highland. It has hills, most forestry in areas of the UK and lovey beaches. I love kayaking, good out on my bicycle, walking etc. you often get beaches, hills etc as people no not know about here. X
@@JJExtra Hi you 2. Dumfries and Galloway. It's about to be giving ' National Park ' status and we are worried about this, as we love getting the beaches, the hill, the forests and the locks to ourselves. ( We are the most forestry area in the UK) X and best wishes Andy McDonald
THE SEATING THEY WERE BUILDING ON THE CASTLE ESPLANADE IS FOR THE EDINBURGH MILITARY TATTOO AND NOT THE FRINGE WHICH TAKES PLACE AT DIFFERENT VENUES ALL OVER EDINBURGH.
Thank you for correcting us, someone else mentioned it too. We forgot the military tattoo happened and assumed it was for the fringe as there were posters everywhere 😂 we must get to both of those events some time.
Wonderful! 😘😘 seeing Edinburgh through your eyes is the closest I’m ever going to get to it - shame- but those hills! - how did your knees cope with traversing Scotland’s equivalent of Mt Everest?! Well, I know Arthur’s Seat isn’t as high as Base Camp 1 on the North side of that big mountain but hey ho! It’s Still quite a climb! 😂😂 Really enjoy your videos - they are so much fun to watch 🥰
Thank you, glad you are enjoying the videos. We definitely felt that climb the next morning but overall it wasn’t too bad. Dont think we will be attempting Everest anytime soon though 😂
Had the good fortune of spending a year in Edinburgh, and it will always be my second home. Only managed two of the volcanoes, and now wouldn't be able to do Arthur's Seat. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Hi Guys enjoyed seeing Edinburgh with you, great video... Arthur's seat is quite a hike but what a view! We were there last year and took in the Royal Yacht Britannia at nearby Leith on the way back... Edinburgh is a stunning city could happily live there...
It is quite the hike but well worth it when you get to the top (no better place to devour a haggis roll 😂) The Royal Yacht is on our hit list for next time. We always thought we couldn’t live there because of the weather but reckon we could manage it 🤣
@@JJExtra it is a very cosmopolitan city... we've said we could happily live there so many times... though we aren't cosmopolitan 😆 another great vlog guys 👍
My absolute favorite city in the world! Thank you guys for taking me back. Oh and I did the 3 hills as well! I did not know the white landmark thingy was the peak 😩 I touched the silver topped one! I definitely mist go back now! Did you visit Chessel Court? With the heart shape plant on the wall? ❤️ it!
I live in west Fife. Only 20 mins on the train from Edinburgh. I've been there at least a few hundred times and still enjoy a day and especially a night out there. Never gets old wandering about. Still see something new every time. Hogmannay night in Edinburgh used to be epic. Far too crowded these days. You literally can't move with a few hundred thousand tourists added to the 200'000 Scots but still amazing for a first timer.
Thanks guys, I found your channel yesterday whilst researching for my trip to Scotland in 3 weeks. I am from Sydney and this will be my first time to visit Scotland. My father was born in Fife so am eager to see his homeland. Love your enthusiasm & friendship.
I dreamt that my fiancee was tagging along with you guys on all of your adventures. Now I have to watch all of your videos to see if she pops up, even though we live in California. I'm not complaining about watching more of you guys, though!
Oh 😂 we hope she doesn’t mind a lot of walking and hiking extinct volcanoes lol. Great to hear you’re enjoying the videos… imagine if she does pop up in the background of one 🤣
I notice this a lot, because I'm old(ish) and I remember seeing all these things before the internet, that they all used to be very quiet and cheap, clearly that's no longer the case 😅 I saw the entry price of the Camera Obscura recently and almost made vom.
Love Edinburgh, studied there and was a pastor there after graduating, but I would put Saltzburg in Austria above Edinburgh by far….ok maybe it’s cos I love The Sound of Music 🏔️
Stunning vlog of Edunburgh. Did you guys film or visited all these places in day? I am visiting London this October and planning to do a daytrip here, i only have a whole day to explore the city. Thanks.
A few years ago I went to Edinburgh to go up Arthur's seat but they had closed it due to a rockfall! So went around the perimeter of the path leading up. Haven't been up since then. I was over in Edinburgh last year and done a 12 mile walk. One thing about Edinburgh it's incredibly hilly. Went from Prince's Street to Leith docks. Along to Portobello (worth a visit). Back to Prince's Street (uphill all the way) to Calton Hill. Was struggling to climb the stairs at Calton Hill because of the long walk before it. I'm from East Kilbride in the west and was asleep on the bus to back to Glasgow. Anyone visiting there are some steep routes. I will go back this year at some point.
Thank you Samantha. Neither of us are really bothered by crowds but we do always try to find a mix of the popular places and hidden gems that tend to be quieter. No toilets once you are on the walk I’m afraid but there are some in Holyrood park where you start/finish. She wee’s at the ready it is 😂
@@JJExtra thanks for your reply .. not many crowds or lining up to get into attractions here in New Zealand.. did you go on the weekend or week day? Are you guys full time you tubers? Would love a video bout you two .. like where you live, how you met, favourite places to visit summer and winter etc. 🥰
Great video guys. 3.30 before hanging the preferred method of execution in 16th - 18C Scotland was by the Maiden (guilatine). The rather gruesome piece of apparatus used can be viewed in the museum that you were in.
Looks amazing. Would love to go, if finances allowed. Which they don’t sadly. Must admit Scotland has never really been a place I’d wanted to visit, until now x
I live in Dundee and our City is just as nice as Edinburgh but on a smaller scale, but yes Edinburgh is well up there in the most Beautiful cities in the world and you can actually stick Glasgow int here as well, a very underated city
Well done chaps! You created your own challenge, accepted it, triumphed in it, and had nice snacks as you went. And with careful camera work showed your accomplishment without showing all the old grannies doing it faster. Have you thought of getting a home near there?
@@JJExtra My eldest lad bought a house in Ayrshire for his young lady (don't ask - it's complicated) so I know there is property available in that area, a lot cheaper than you'd find in the big cities and on bus routes.
That's not right either. They are properly called The Forth Bridge which is for trains, The Forth Road Bridge (the middle one) and The Queensferry Crossing which is the newest one, also a road bridge. .
📣 WOOOW! Very good video! Thanks for this! 👋🏼 I am a Small Struggling Travel Channel and this video really inspire me to up my self and make better content ☺️
Thanks Pete. Unfortunately we had to drive so next time we visit we will be sure to stay over and give the whiskey experience or go (or better still find a distillery in the highlands!)
I went to a couple of gigs to see The National and Paul Weller at the Castle, so they use it gigs and you’re correct they use it for the Tattoo in August 👍
Poor Dolly 🐑, her ticket 🎟️ was revoked. 😢 It’s a good thing you went to Scotland 🏴 on Holiday, there are some who want independence. You may soon need a visa to visit. Scotland 🏴 is beautiful , Queen Victoria was quite found of spending time there. Her late Majesty , was also quite fond of her time in Scotland 🏴.
RIP Dolly ✌🏻 It is such a beautiful country and Edinburgh is an incredible city, easy to see why so many people fall in love with it - even the royals!
The unfinished Edinburgh National Monument on Calton Hill is also known locally as Edinburgh's disgrace. Edinburgh was referred to as the Athens of the North in the early 19th century, as the city was at the heart of a huge amount of philosophical, medical, technological and academic development, garnering comparisons with the ancient Greeks. The decision was made to build a replica of the Parthenon on Calton Hill, unfortunately funding ran out and it was never completed, hence the term 'disgrace'. I personally think it's better that it was only part completed as it has a lot more character than if it was just a complete replica of a Greek monument.
Ok, so that was the second volcano he had taken him up on in the last few days. There are three volcanoes in the city. And he was going to take him to the two others in the city as well. The mathematics is starting to break. Unless...
Edinburgh is a show-off city for tourists.When you get bored of the architecture, head to Glasgow. Here you'll find a more vibrant city where the true Scotts live. Then again... I might be biased 😂. Also, I've seen your Glasgow video. Hopefully, next time yous visit, you get to spend more time as it has a lot more to offer 😊
Glasgow people are very friendly and anyone will talk to you here but let's face it, Central Edinburgh is far nicer to look at. The city council here tore down so much of our history in the name of "progress" and they ain't done yet.
EDINBURGH Has Another One That Describes The City From Many Years Ago, It Was Called AULD REEKIE, If You Are Realy Interested To Know Will Have To Some One Knows The History Of The Old City, As You Know We Have A Lot Of Slang Words, AULD REEKIE, AULD, Being Old, REEKIE Being Smelly, You Will Find From A Real Historian What It Is All About, It Is About The Old Past Cutoms That The City Had With So Many High Rise BUILDINGS, It Will Make You Cringe, Not Many People Know About This, Except A Local From The City Like Myself, As I Many Years Ago Used To Live In Some Of These High Buildens, Home Was On The Side Of The Calton Hill Behind The Playhouse Cinema, Giong Down Leith Walk, Where Way Back In Late Forties We Had Some Terrible Buildings Old That Burnt Down, It Was Called GREENSIDE, Then They Were Demolished And Made Into Car Park, It Is Many Years Since Lived There Also, But I Now Have Been Away From EDINBURGH For Twent Years, So Can't Be Shure The Area Is Still A Car Park, So Good Luck In Finding The True Story Of AULD REEKIE,
@@Irishlad1916 Edinburgh much nicer than Glasgow. Glaswegian accent must be the worst in the world and I have a Brummie accent. If I never have to set foot in Glasgow again, I'll be delighted!

Stunning 😍
As a Birmingham lad, coming to Edinburgh was a complete culture shock! I knew it would be nice but the city completely blew me away! It's the most magical place I've ever visited. Love it!
It certainly does have a magical vibe, almost feels like a movie set in places rather than a real city!
Was in Edinburgh in January 2023. Was blown away! One of the world’s great overlooked cities. Was like walking in a storybook
It has such a magical and enchanting feel. The architecture is just stunning 👌🏻
Overlooked? It is second to London in the most visited UK cities. Can't move for tourists and insta folk. Overlooked cities of the world, Edinburgh isn't. If you'd said Ghent, Glasgow, Gdansk, Riga, Split etc etc, I'd agree.
Perhaps the fact that it hosts the world's largest performing arts festival every August might help its popularity...

Get blown away by the wind quite often as well
We left Edinburgh 2 day ago, can’t wait to to go back. Maybe permanently. Scotland is AMAZING
It truly is amazing. Wish we had more time to explore 😊

Thank you 🤩
Me and my other half can’t do Edinburgh because of the hills unfortunately. So thank you for being our tour guides. Another fantastic video lads👍❤

The floral clock is made every year, with the plants grown by The Inch Nursery. They grow the plants for the gardens and other public places.

Edinburgh was referred to as the Athens of the North in the early 19th century, as the city was at the heart of a huge amount of philosophical, medical, technological and academic development, garnering comparisons with the ancient Greeks.
The decision was made to build a replica of the Parthenon on Calton Hill, unfortunately funding ran out and it was never completed, hence the term 'disgrace'. I personally think it's better that it was only part completed as it has a lot more character than if it was just a complete replica of a Greek monument.
aww , listen to me, theres a pie shop in reading, called sweeney tods, the best ever pies
Noted 👍🏻
Outlander is brilliant and worth watching. But barbaric but I suppose it was then 👍
We don’t get much time to watch TV but maybe we will have to give it a try. Thanks for the warning about the barbaric nature of it 😂
I'm with you on the bagpipes Jason. 😒🙄
🙌🏼 they are much more tolerable as part of a bigger band but on their own, not a fan lol
I prefer the Kelvingrove in Glasgow
Ok, so that was the second volcano he had taken him up on in the last few days. There are three volcanoes in the city. And he was going to take him to the two others in the city as well. The mathematics is starting to break. Unless...
It's for the Edinburgh military tattoo
So we have since found out. We totally forgot that was happening soon!
You silly persons. Great vid. (Edinburgh is my home, so it was a wander around familiar places with new eyes)
Glad you enjoyed the video. Always great to see places through new eyes 😊
Edinburgh is a show-off city for tourists.When you get bored of the architecture, head to Glasgow. Here you'll find a more vibrant city where the true Scotts live.
Then again... I might be biased 😂.
Also, I've seen your Glasgow video. Hopefully, next time yous visit, you get to spend more time as it has a lot more to offer 😊
😂🤣 we are definitely planning on spending longer in Glasgow for our next visit. So much to do we didn’t even know existed until recently!
"Scotts"? Who are they? You mean Scots.
Glasgow people are very friendly and anyone will talk to you here but let's face it, Central Edinburgh is far nicer to look at. The city council here tore down so much of our history in the name of "progress" and they ain't done yet.
@@georgerichardson7728Been to Glasgow on 2 occasions but didn't like anything about. Edinburgh in my opinion in much nicer!
“…and a very impressive organ he had as well.” 😂
🤭
EDINBURGH Has Another One That Describes The City From Many Years Ago, It Was Called AULD REEKIE, If You Are Realy Interested To Know Will Have To Some One Knows The History Of The Old City, As You Know We Have A Lot Of Slang Words, AULD REEKIE, AULD, Being Old, REEKIE Being Smelly, You Will Find From A Real Historian What It Is All About, It Is About The Old Past Cutoms That The City Had With So Many High Rise BUILDINGS, It Will Make You Cringe, Not Many People Know About This, Except A Local From The City Like Myself, As I Many Years Ago Used To Live In Some Of These High Buildens, Home Was On The Side Of The Calton Hill Behind The Playhouse Cinema, Giong Down Leith Walk, Where Way Back In Late Forties We Had Some Terrible Buildings Old That Burnt Down, It Was Called GREENSIDE, Then They Were Demolished And Made Into Car Park, It Is Many Years Since Lived There Also, But I Now Have Been Away From EDINBURGH For Twent Years, So Can't Be Shure The Area Is Still A Car Park, So Good Luck In Finding The True Story Of AULD REEKIE,
Just save up for parking your car...sheesh !
Yeah parking is expensive for sure!
They don't know what a hard days work is in amongst other things about them ! Goodbye!
What are you chatting about?
@@JJExtra ignore her, she's probably on the piss
£4.50 for a cone ffs
We have no regrets 😂
Last time I was in Edinburgh there were a group of 12-14 year olds throwing glass bottles at each other on Princes street
Overrrated.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. If you could recommend a city for us to visit where would it be?
@@JJExtra Glasgow. For sure.
Funny you should say that as our new video that has just gone live is from Glasgow 😂
@@JJExtra nice one!
@@Irishlad1916 Edinburgh much nicer than Glasgow. Glaswegian accent must be the worst in the world and I have a Brummie accent. If I never have to set foot in Glasgow again, I'll be delighted!
