    Absolutely terrific! Congratulations on your presentation. I live in Fife and pre-covid visited Edinburgh maybe twice a month. I really miss these visits, and as an octogenarian, there may be only a few chances left to see my favourite city in all its glory. Thank you so much.

    Glad to see you got Wojtek the bear in one shot Steve, my parents took me to see him at Edinburgh zoo when I was 3 years old. My father told me Wojtek's ears pricked up when he called to him in Polish, and he lumbered over in his enclosure to eat the cigarettes my father threw to him.... I visited the statue in the gardens when I was up in Edinburgh in September... a superb memorial to a Polish hero....

I am visiting Edinburgh tomorrow for a few days, my remit is always George IV Bridge, the Bridges, along Clerk St, the Meadows, Marchmont and Morningside as well as Stockbridge - not been for over two years so looking forward to it.

Of course I have not been able to visit at all in the last couple of years but really look forward to my next visit. In the sixties, as youngsters, we would get off the train in Waverley and set off for an evenings enjoyment tramping many of the streets you walked. Most have not changed that much, but many beyond recognition. Thanks again.

    Wonderful. And as much as I enjoy your commentaries, you were quite right to do this walk in silence - it's a contemplative stroll.
    But a thought: when arriving at intersections or squares, consider stopping and panning around. I first noticed this on Stafford Street, where passing the first intersection without panning automatically omitted William St., one of the more attractive spots in the New Town. Ditto Charlotte and St. Andrews squares - the camera's view was consistently straight ahead...the same thing continuously until the end of that stretch.
    Edinburgh is such a wonderful city, though with so many videos now online, novelty and nuance come into play in terms presenting something new and tapping into the 'Oh, wow!' factor.
    Also, if you've not already done so, a walk 'round Stockbridge, including a stroll through the residential neighbourhood running up the side of the hill to Queensferry Street...so, Ann Street, Danube Street, St. Bernard's Crescent etc. plus St. Stephen Street, the Jamaica Street steps and Circus Circus Lane, Saxe Coburg Place and Glenogle Colonies and Baths etc. Maybe include Dean Village too. There are videos of the area, but nothing as ambitious as Stockbridge deserves. And it would be a fresh 'discovery' for many of you viewers who are visitors who fail to venture beyond the immediate city centre, or locals who take this jewel of a location for granted and never bother with it. Ditto Bruntsfield - a wonderful high street, the links and the Meadows, fantastic residential streets....
    Thank you.

    It was great to see Edinburgh on a sunny day as, where I live over in the west near Glasgow , we haven't seen blue sky for days. That car brought back memories as the first one I owned was a maroon and white Ford Anglia, back in the seventies. I hope you and Alicja have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Looking forward to new videos next year.

    OOh I should have watched that a few weeks ago & got all festive! I thought I'd seen it but was thinking of your Christmas mkt vid. Edinburgh is so beautiful but it was heaving wasn't it! You dodging other pedestrians reminded me of living in London, it's all you do, dodge people! I must go up one Christmas with my girl who went this yr with mates, her 1st visit, she loved it. You made me look up 2 things, Waverly bridge, to see what was under it and the Scott memorial, I thought it looked like Alberts! Enjoyed that walk Steve, I couldn't do it in reality with my knackered knee!

    Thank you for this wonderful walk through Edinburgh. You really did cover a nice distance, to our delight. Edinburgh is a beautiful city even in winter and especially for Christmas with all the decorations. It must look gorgeous at night. It was interesting to hear the sounds of the city in the foreground, even though I missed you a bit in front of the camera. I really like if you comment on everything during your vlogs in your incomparable Scottish and funny way.😉 I would like to thank you and Alicja for all the wonderful videos of this year and your efforts. It was an enrichment to discover so much of bonny Scotland with you. Stay healthy. Merry Christmas to you and happy holidays..... to a better 2022! Slàinte mhath. 🥃

    Great video again! I haven't been in Edinburgh since 1st December 2019 for a wedding. It certainly is a compact cosmopolitan city judging by the cameras and variety of languages spoken in the background. I suppose everyone prefers their own home city because of the familiar and where you feel comfortable mine being Glasgow. But nevertheless Edinburgh is good for a visit.
    Wishing you both a lovely peaceful festive season 🎄⛄🥰

    Oh man! I haven't been there since 94 and I see some changes. Watching your videos gives me an intense, almost painfully intense feeling of nostalgia. The first time I ever went there I stayed in Buecluech street and would walk down to Princes every day to hit the cool record stores. Virgin Superstore and HMV were there and for second hand I would go to Vinyl Villains on Elm.
    Everytime after that I stayed in Leith off of Lorne Street. There used to be a Greek Fish and chips shop a couple doors north of the corner of Lorne and Leith Walk.
    It's a bittersweet experience watching your stuff. Knowing I'm not likely to ever get back.

    • @steve-marsh

Keep those memories strong, I don't want to put a dampener on things but so often change isn't always the best, I live here and am also nostalgic for going down to the record stores back in the day. But nobody can take away those wonderful memories. All the best for Christmas and the New Year!

Love that city and can't wait to get back. Great to see that you took some streets that tourists don't usually go. Gives us an insight as to what the other areas of the city are like. We only got to see a snippet of it. Would love to spend a Christmas there too. Brent and I really hope you and Alicja have a wonderful Christmas and a safe and happy New Year!
