Great Footage!!... So very beautiful; I visited Scotland back in 2011!.. Stunning buildings, - look how beautifully the people dressed!.. Like going back in a time machine; I can just step in... Looks clean - crisp..😊
There are some amazing scenes being shown here; an aeroplane gliding over the train bridge, grand scenes of castles/buildings in the horizon, children mingling in the frontdoor alleyways, the old women with her wicker basket, soldiers making the rounds in the courtyard, cannon fire in the castle rims, even the man feeding birds in the park is a rare thing to see in film like this. So much about everyday life of the average Scott that isn't just walking down streets. This videographer had quite the weekend touring around Scotland, making film of the commonwealth that we all get to see here in the 21 Century. Such a gift.
Edinburgh is still lovely.... I used to live there in 1986 as a wild and fun loving 21 year old. I'll be 60 in January 2025 and my wife is taking me there for a wee city break to celebrate. It means a lot to me that grand old city. I can't wait to see it again.
Beautiful footage!!... I was on a tour of Scotland back in 2011!!...Looks like I can just walk through the screen.. Dressed beautifully, & clean streets too!... Beautiful flowers &:lovely parks.. What a great joy to see this!. Thanks for posting of You Tube! 🙏🤗
I was in Edinburgh years ago. As a visitor of the “New World” where everything is modern lacking any history. Edinburgh is still one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited.
Had the chance to visit Edinburgh back in 2006 for my work. Stayed at a hotel on Princes Street right across from the Scott Monument. A really beautiful city.
I’m from Edinburgh. Most of the centre of the city has been retained, architecturally-speaking, but my God, did they ruin Princes Street. Just a couple of decades after this was filmed they bulldozed a good chunk of this once-glorious street (particularly the most Western/Central bits) and built utter crud. The biggest stain is that brutal, horrendous grey scar at the bottom of the Mound. Wtf _were_ they thinking? It’s like Grotbags the witch just pitched up at the Miss World pageant.🤦♂️ They bulldoze glorious old classic Edinburgh sandstone stuff (beautifully modelled on Venetian palaces) and built something that wouldn’t look out of place in the grottiest bit of downtown Bucharest! Further West and there’s more pointless destruction and replacing it with architecture just not in keeping with most of the rest of the city. The commercial imperative probably. Whatever it is/was, beginning about 1960, they ruined what was once the centrepiece jewel in Edinburgh’s crown. All that remains is to stand on Princes Street, turn your back on the scabby shops, grim 60s/70s/80s architecture and gum-spattered pavements and drink in the Castle and view of the Old Town to the left.
I was there last year for my niece's wedding. A lot still looks the same. Edinburgh was fortunate to not get many buildings bombed in WW 2. That is why a visit there will allow you to see most of what is in this wonderful restored piece. Many thanks from Canada!
@seltaeb9691 "In comparison to other Scottish cities, Edinburgh had a fairly quiet war with only 47 high explosive 'missiles' dropped in 14 raids by the Luftwaffe. The fourteenth raid, at 11.20pm on 6th July 1942, saw four 500lb bombs dropped on 35 Loaning Crescent, the junction of Loaning Road and Crescent and Craigentinny House, along with the vacant ground nearby. Several people, including the caretaker at Craigentinny Castle, were killed."
This is beautifully and sensitively colorised, and done with great respect to the original material. It's very evocative of the city before the war, I think.The cityscapes seem not so different to the Edinburgh of today but it's interesting to see the road traffic, trams and trains. The clothing fashions of the time, too, even the hairstyles. I notice there were a lot fewer overweight people 90 years back than now.
Apart from the retail buildings on Princes Street, virtually every building and view in this film is still there! The whole centre of Edinburgh, both the Old Town and the New Town, is a World Heritage site and can’t be, and won’t be, significantly altered.
Greetings from Scotland! Fascinating that the things that have changed the most are the way people dress, the modes of transport! Princes Street looks just as busy as it is today, definitely a lot less one-way systems and traffic lights though! 😊😊
Several segments brought me to tears as this was the era my mother lived in Edinburgh. It is possible I even recognized someone! Congratulations. You did a wonderful and sensitive restoration. Topaz (I assume?) could use your results to sell their product!
Stepping back in time! Beautiful job on the colorization - the shades and tints are just perfect, nothing too vivid so you get the atmosphere of the time. Soundscape super as well.
Everything looks remarkably similar to how it is today. Edinbugh is fortunate that it escaped WW2 largely unscathed unlike many other cities in the UK.
Thats because there wasnt. The audio was designed synthetically by person who restored it. The cameras did not record audio back then. Thats why you had silent movies
@@SpekulantossThis was filmed after ww1 in the early 30s & talkies had started by then. This tho is a private cine camera without sound & has had street noise added today.
Amazingly well done! You did an excellent job of adding the sound, and the video quality has been beautifully restored and possibly even improved. There are so many little gems of daily life, at the time, to spot as you watch. Edinburgh is easily recognizable, and looks very much the same today. Thank you for doing this!
I miss what I thought was an uncomplicated time when we just met in the park and had a lovely time together. Without the damn smartphone without constantly showing or taking any cell phone photos. Just chatting about normal things. Nowadays you get yelled at if you ask someone if you want to do something. Even going to the cinema is no longer relevant for some people these days. In my opinion, cinema is a cool thing. I don't speak for everyone, but a lot of things have unfortunately been forgotten these days.. :(
No plastic, no junk food, no gmo, nobody rushing but going nowhere, nobody obese, no grafitti, no signs of social disintegration. Now tell me about progress.
Who remembers shopping assistants wrapping your purchase in brown paper, and finishing if off with string and a loop to help you carry it. And when you went up to Princes Street, everyone would be well dressed.
Does anyone remember when the customer payment in a store was put into a container, & either by wire or phumatic tube was sent to the central office, & any change & receipt returned. - late 1950s for me . Don't know when this ended.
Happy to say Edinburgh still looks like this! Apart from everyone being dressed so elegant and those amazing stylish cars and trams but in general you can still see the same views❤
Went to Edinburgh 2 years ago back in October 2022 and I loved it I remember the castle especially it’s crazy to thing about what places looked like 90 odd years ago
Utterly fantastic have never seen anything like this and so beautifully brought to life - wish I could go back in time and experience that period in time such a beautiful City Edinburgh👍

People comment how lovely it is and still is but it poverty and squalor of many then and before the turn of the century. It has a fascinating history but very bleak for those not visibly well to do in this video.
I don't think you realise how much soot encrusted the buildings in those days before clean air laws were passed. It literally took the rest of the 20th century to fund the clean-up. The buildings in Britain's cities were filthy due to coal burning, industrial pollution and traffic fumes, and it significantly shortened people's life expectancy too.
A well heeled lot in the 30s bearing in mind it’s after WW1. Amazing footage like the Catalina Sea Plane and cars parked on the ‘wrong’ side of princess street! 7:29 looks like Redford Barracks
Wow - sartorial elegance abounds !!. 90% of the people filmed look like they're modelling that year's 'Must have' in fashionable clothes - and they all look great !. Sad when you think about going to Princes Street today and the height of fashion has been supplied by 'Amazon essentials' mostly of they grey flannel look !. BTW - where were/are the 'Barracks' (??) shown at 07:30 ??
Extraordinary! What an eye opener. But the question must be asked, would anyone want to go back and live in that time? No TV, WiFi, Mobile phone. No casual clothing. Church going on the Sabbath. No Gym. No co-habiting. No wokeism. No LGBTQ.

Loved the woman carrying that basket up the steps and knitting at the same time.
That was very impressive.
The women used to carry heavy peat loads on their backs and knit socks at the same time. The socks and other handknits were sold for extra income.
Were they not the Newhaven fishwife sellers?
The architecture 90 years ago was so much better than today... kinda sad.
Edinburgh still looks much the same
Most of the architecture is hundreds of years old. The castle is 900 years old.
The architecture has not changed much, but people have. Graffiti, which is drawn everywhere, is also the reason why it does not look good.
Most of old school architecture was far superior, and stronger too.
@@Voeloksas Compared to other cities there is not much graffiti.
It's funny how recognisable a lot of these places still are nearly 100 years later. The main things that have changed are the clothing and the cars.
Nobody back then would have ever uttered "it's shite being Scottish!"
These Graffitis as well. It has made the whole city like a slum.
No fat people.
@@Voeloksasdiversity is our strength!
@@christinah7716good point, no ethnic here, no coincidence the place looks clean
Everyone dressed so well in those days. Men in suits, women in dresses. No trainers, denims or hoodies!
No one’s stopping you from wearing a suit everyday. Let’s see how long you want to keep that up 😂

Amazing; great job and looks like it’s been shot yesterday.

Edinburgh's now full of pakkies, Indians, Chinese and illegal immigrants.
The Industrial Revolution did far more damage to British architecture than the Blitz. to be honest.
Auld Reekie, my home town, views still the same, Princes St a shadow of itself with tat tourist shops. Best bus service in the world.
Princess St is a tacky shithole now sadly
Truly wonderful what a beautiful trip back in time .

Wonderful, this City looks like out of a fairy tale, realy splendid.
It still,looks almost exactly the same, but the stonework is a bit cleaned up!
These remastered 60fps films are mesmerizing. The nearest we'll get to time travel.
Thanks ^^
That’s Forth Bridge, in the beginning with the train.
Fantastic video!! Thanks very much! from Chile best regards!
Thanks
I don't think Edinburgh has changed. Love it!
The sad part about these old films? Everybody shown in them is long gone. 💔
The panoramic views at least have hardly changed at all (except that the buildings are cleaner!)
The trams look better than the current model!
Several segments brought me to tears as this was the era my mother lived in Edinburgh. It is possible I even recognized someone!

Sadly Glasgow is a mess, with a mway driven right through it, complete opposite to Edinburgh but more vibrant.
Nice bit of multitasking at 4:56.
