  • Edinburgh is an amazing city and I highly recommend that you go one time in your life. But it’s Scotland’s largest capital city, so where do you start? I’ll show you around everything that’s cool in Edinburgh, such as Edinburgh Castle, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Calton Hill, the Royal Mile, Arthur’s Seat, Princes Street, Johnnie Walker Experience, Scotch Whisky Experience, the National Gallery, the Royal Yacht Britannia, the Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh Zoo, St Giles Cathedral and much more!
    This is your complete guide to Edinburgh, especially if you’re visiting for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, the Edinburgh Film Festival or Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve). I’ll tell you exactly what to expect and how to navigate yourself around the city.

    This complete video guide was filmed over several trips to Edinburgh, so sorry about the weird continuity.
    But if you've enjoyed this video and want me to make more city guides like this, let me know in a separate comment below!

      Unlike other TH-cam 'travel guides' (which the camera is pointed at the presenter talking mindlessly most of the time), I show you everything that you need to know, and make sure you're familiar with the place before you actually go there. It eliminates a massive source of stress when you visit somewhere you've never been before.

    Edinburgh is also expensive because the military tattoo is only during that time as well. Best time to visit to fit in ALL Scotland has to offer with the nicest weather. Still super chilly at night. We got married there almost a decade ago, did the whiskey experience dinner the night before with the military tattoo to end the evening, stayed in Dalhousie Castle, got married at Culross Abbey, had tea at Edinburgh Castle, saw a few shows at fringe fest, and took a 3-4 day bus tour of the highlands. We packed a lot into less than a week but it was worth it.

      Thanks! Although you have to be careful about droning around the Castle (make it an early morning flight) - and it's definitely a no-no flying around or over the Palace of Holyrood House. Stay well clear!
      That place is heavily guarded and there are certain places I've been to recently that employ signal jammers.

    Thanks, this is a great video! The fringe festival is the largest arts festival in the world! The Edinburgh Zoo, while having the only pandas in the UK, is also home to the penguin parade where the penguins are let loose in the zoo and parade through it led by the only knighted penguin in the world, Sir Nils Olav!
    There are so many different museums in Edinburgh as well from the two Scottish National Galleries of Modern Art, the National Portrait Gallery, The Scottish National Gallery, the two National Museums of Scotland, The Museum of Childhood, and the Museum of Edinburgh, plus many more, as well as the two National Records of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland which is one the largest libraries in the UK! Also, the observatory on Calton Hill is technically not in use anymore as it has been subsumed by the city (it still works though), but there is another observatory on Blackford Hill called the Royal Observatory Edinburgh (which is also very interesting to visit) and is the home to the UK Astronomy Technology Centre!

    In New Zealand, there's the city of Dunedin, which was originally settled by the Scottish and as such, it's dripping in Scottish influence (Dunedin is actually the gaelic name for Edinburgh) and instead of deep fried Mars bars, they have deep fried moros.

      @@eccremocarpusscaber5159 London is decent for a visit but never a place to live. Saying this as a born and bred Dundonian, Edinburgh isn'ae Scottish - neither culturally, socially or economically. Much more middle-class and cosmopolitan than the more traditional, smaller working-class cities and towns like mine. It's more closer to being English imo. Too much shortbread tin pandering for tourists and becomes an de-facto exclave borough of London when the Fringe is on. But still a lovely place with very high standards of living. I'm planning on going to Queen Margaret uni in Musselburgh, just outside Edinburgh. Less snobby and more affordable. Good for students from deprived backgrounds + gives you a chance to live in the capital without being aristocraticly rich.

      Thanks Jason!
      The hotels in the city centre are stupidly priced, so whenever I go there, I stay in one of the other districts where the price of hotels is reasonable (and with free car parking) ... and then get a £2 bus into town. That's the only way I can make Edinburgh affordable most of the time. But a lot of tourists don't know that, so they get seriously ripped off when they come here.
      I suppose it's like that with every major capital city these days!

    I will be at London from 13/8 to 16 then
    Cardiff from 16 to 18 and was planning to reach Edinburgh on 18 however the flight ticket + hotels are very expensive so my question is :
    What is your advice to visit after Cardiff ? as I will be in Manchester on 21/8 so I have 18 to 21 still not decided yet and I trust your options .

    • @UltimateBucketList
      @UltimateBucketList  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello my brother. Thanks for stopping by, and thank you for watching my videos!
      If Edinburgh is too expensive, I recommend that you visit the historic city of Bath (see my video: th-cam.com/video/b8iKVkgrpxU/w-d-xo.html). It’s not too far from Cardiff, about a 1 hour train ride). And you can easily spend two days there.
      Liverpool is also a short train ride away from Manchester, so that’s worth a day too.
      You won’t need much time in Cardiff, Bath or Manchester - so I’d add a couple of extra days in London if you can.
      Hope that helps?

  • @MrCherryJuice
    @MrCherryJuice ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice. But a couple things:
    "Turn right down Grassmarket" should be "...down Victoria Street" (the sign adjacent to 'Grassmarket was the one to read). The Grassmarket is the "public square" referred to immediately after.
    "If you carry on walking down Princes Street you won't find any shortage of bars, pubs and restaurants"? That footage is George Street, a block further into the New Town, which is where drink and food can be found.
    As for dismissing Leith as "There's really not that much to it," you've got that wrong. Leith, once a town separate from Edinburgh, might lack the grace of the New Town and the tourist attractions of the Old Town, but it is one of the city's most characterful areas, with plenty of bars, pubs, places to eat and funky streets to discover.
    It is always good to get someone who knows the city to review the final edit before publishing.
    Of course there is so much more to the city centre than what you show. Still, it is always nice to see footage of this fabulous city.
