I did both Edinburgh Castle of Light and the Botanic Gardens a few years ago. I like both and would pay for both again, but the Botanic Gardens are much better value for money. I've also been up Calton Hill at night at Christmas, the view was amazing, but I wouldn't want to be up there on my own in the dark!
Thanks for watching. If the castle had been open during the week I probably would have done that as well. Hadn’t thought about Calton Hill. That’s a good idea. 😀
Thanks so much Steve. I’m not going to be able to travel much over the next couple of months so am going to have to get creative closer to home. Cheers. 😀
Thanks for sharing these. I was at the Botanics display last year and so I know, it has to be experienced in person for the full immersive effect as this didn't look so good on the film - although there are so many of these illuminated woodland things now, they should be visited only sparingly anyway. I think the Scott Monument and George Street do it for me this year though. It would be interesting to see what the castle is offering another time.
Great video Roger of the Xmas lights in Edinburgh. The Botanics lights were brilliant, well worth seeing! Xmas markets always leave me ambivalent, but the lights all over the city, spectacular! Nice one Roger. 😊 👍 🎄 .
About half way through the video, I would have said that the free lights were entirely adequate but the second half of the video was pretty impressive so it's a tough call on whether I would spring the cash if there was a tight budget. Thanks for taking us along.
Really nice to see you back again Roger..... great video and wished ide booked a later train to come back on the 19th. Edinburgh council does a brilliant job keeping Edinburgh buzzing all year round and never fails to impress me.... just the broken paving slabs gurrrh.... you take care and see you soon 😊 Richard Turnbull in Newcastle upon Tyne
Amazing video as always Roger, I was filming at the Castle of lights on Sunday night for my channel. Free or Paid the Christmas lights in Edinburgh are always special
@ I had no problem filming. We went on a ASN night has my eldest daughter is autistic. The castle was quiet as a result and we found the staff very accommodating.
What a brilliant video, Roger. One of your best. Some of the Christmas lights were just gorgeous.
Thanks so much. I’m very pleased with how it came out! 💡🎄

It can be really tricky to film at night, you did a fantastic job! I’m not a big fan of Edinburgh at Christmas but the video was awesome!

Thanks. I’ll probably not do the Castle of Light this year, but I have heard good reports!
wonderful video rog!! Edinburgh is amazing at Christmas and these light shows brings the best of the Christmas atmosphere. cheers!
Thanks Laura - must admit they look stunning this year. Especially the Botanics Trail! 😀

Thanks, Alan. I’m not a fan of the Christmas Market hence the quick walk through before it got too busy. But all the lights are impressive!
Lovely to see Edinburgh all lit up.
Thank you for showing us the stunning colours.
Merry Christmas to you both ❤
Thanks so much, Cathy. And the same to you. Have a great Christmas. 🙏
"Who wants to be on the Starflyer?" - not for me! 😂 Fantastic atmosphere in town though!
I kinda wish I had the guts to go on it - but it’s just too high! Looks incredible lit up though! 🎄
@@RogEdwardsTV will definitely be going to the Botanics next week!
@martinstilton1535 Enjoy!

Thanks for watching. The Botanics Light Show was exceptional this year - I think they really did a good job to make it different and to stand out. 🎄

Thanks very much! How did you get on at the Castle of Light? Were they okay with you filming? I’d heard some people getting hassled. 🤔

That’s great news. Look forward to seeing your video.
