Edinburgh is such a lovely city. A fantastic vlog that captured Edinburgh perfectly. Got to say that the haggis pie looked so good. Another great vlog guys. Stay safe and well.
Thank you! I'm heading to Edinburgh for the first time next month. This video is a perfect primer. And the energy of you two is wonderful! Thanks again 🙏🏾
Not bad for 9 hours guys. Everyone mentions the Harry Potter names in the graveyard but very few people know that Charles Dickins also visited there and got his character of Ebenezer Scrooge from a gravestone! Haste ye back lads.
@@JJExtra btw, your channel is amazing and you two are wonderful. I'm Italian and I understand well your beautiful English, I'm definitely a fan, already!
I used to saty right next to Arthurs seat, like a second from the palace. Could see patrols inside with flashlights when the queen was there a few years ago. Instead of going for runs, i would climb it once or twice every single day because it was right there and ive never been as fit as i was since i moved away.
@@JJExtra oh it was lovely. Especially in the morning when it was a clear sky. Wasnt doing anything for firework night that year so went up and just sat there for a few hours getting to see all the fireworks as far as the eye could see. Never climbed up the pentlands though which i've heard is also good.
Love this vlog, i am so happy you got to visit Edinburgh i would love to live there my mums cousin has a flat on the Royal Mile and my favourite thing to do is sit by the window and people watch. Arthurs Seat is not too bad a climb (done it when i was 17), and the view is well worth it. There is a path all the way up to the top
@@JJExtrawhat i forgot to add was at 17 that was when i was diagnosed with my chronic illness (even though i don't think of it as that) and i was absolutely shattered not knowing what was wrong 😂
What a lovely wee video and you managed to cram so much in in one day but still so much to see, as you said Edinburgh Castle is like a village, you can spend a whole day there same as the museum. Haste ye back 🏴🥰
Found your channel whilst looking for BA Lhr-Sfo flight videos as research for a trip this December - now I’ve watched loads. Edinburgh is one of my favourite places in the world. Was lucky enough to live there for 9 years. Keep up the good work Carol, Cambridgeshire
Another great video my friends. I really love you content more every time I watch one. I am excited to see this beautiful UNESCO travel destination on our UNESCO around the World drive. As traveling anthropologists and park rangers, we love to share and see others share cultural destinations and eco-tourism. Keep it up, and we look forward to keeping in touch. - Bear
God, you are sweet guys. I really enjoyed it. Was in the city just last year and loved it. Would have loved to travel with you. It will be fun. Thank you!
Such a lovely homage to my home town. I agree that Edinburgh is the most beautiful city in the world (maybe along with Vienna) but I’m certainly biased. So glad you took the time to go up Calton Hill, it really does give you some f the best views over the city. You’ll have to come back and do one of the ghost tours that visits the Covenanters’ prison in Greyfiars Kirkyard…it’s the home of the infamous Mackenzie poltergeist 😱Haste ye back 🏴😊
Thank you Angela, glad you enjoyed it. We’d love to visit Vienna one day too but will probably be back In Edinburgh first and some of the ghost tours are on our list! Would love to do Mary Kings Close 👻
@JJ Extra aww thank u. I try yea dean village is very popular am still learning how to do things I love watching other people vlogs of edinburgh I serch everywhere it's only place thats someone is vlogging everyday.
This was a nice watch. Thanks for sharing. I am an American about to take my first ever plane flight, and to Edinburgh no doubt. It will be a two week trip, but i will spend five days in Glasgow as well. One question I have, what time did you start your day doing all of this?
Thank you! Oh sounds like you are about to embark on an amazing trip! We got off of our sleeper train at 7:30am so we were in the coffee shop at the start just after 8am. We ended the video at just before 4pm. Hope that helps 😊
Don't want get picky, but that huge monument at the start of the video is not the Scots monument, it's the Scott Monument, in honour of Sir Walter Scott, one of the greatest literary figures in Scotland's history. His statue sits within the monument. That aside, great job guys, you did Edinburgh proud with this video.
I love Edinburgh and you certainly showed us some beautiful and interesting parts. The cakes looked lovely. I have to say I prefer Glasgow for it's architecture, Glasgow is terrific. Good vlog, thanks lads.☺☺
@@JJExtra Pollock Country Park, my fave park. Includes Highland cattle and Pollock House. Rocken Glen, massive waterfall. Glasgow Street Art. Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow Necropolis and University of Glasgow. Some of these suggestions are about the architecture.🤗
Hello lads, you definitely got your steps in walking around Edinburg. 🥵. Did you find the coffee ☕️, on the more expensive side ? The pastries 🥐 looked quite yummy 😋. Josh , glad to see you were able to see & hear , a bagpiper. Did you ask him the age old question??? What he wears under his kilt? Better yet, did he show you ?? 🫣 ❤️🌈
We notched up over 25k steps that day! We can only assume he was traditionally dressed 😂 the coffee was more expensive across the whole city but comparable to London really. Can’t complain though as the 2 we had were both good 😊
The skull and bones aka "Memento Mori"(Remember to die) is often mistaken for pirates it isn't but it is a symbol to remind all who see it that Death comes to all no matter your status some you may notice even have a little grin which goes back to the idea that they are having a better time than us
You were actually standing next to parts of the original wall that was surrounding the city called the Flodden wall (in the dark part of the graveyard) and also people are not supposed to touch Bobby’s nose because it destroys the statue which is why the nose is now golden. Great video though
It doesn't "destroy" the statue . It is made of bronze and is tarnished which is what happens when this alloy is exposed to air. . Touching the nose is simply removing the layer of tarnish.
That's not Arthur's seat at the end of the vid. It's Salisbury crags. If you climb that path you'll head back down and have to start Arthur's seat from the bottom. Give us. Shout if you need any other tips next time you're here.
Interesting, I would say beautiful but not pretty. Striking is certainly right. I've lived in Edinburgh for 40 years and, even after all this time, it still sometimes takes my breath away.
As you would expect, another great video. Edinburgh couldn't get a better advert. But now to the most important question of this video: Where the hell can I get Jason's baseball cap? 😊
Significant snowfall isn’t actually as common as you might think in Edinburgh so you’d have to be lucky to book a short trip in advance and get snow. Would be incredible to see though 😊
The Presbyterian mindset has hospitality venues close right when customers are at peak demand. Pub kitchens close at 21h - which means staff stop serving at 20h. Ridiculous.
Born and raised in Edinburgh and I have to say, princess street is beautiful but when you go to the places people live it’s not that good. Graffiti and chavs roaming the streets.
The Edinburgh I know is not the Edinburgh in this film. My Edinburgh has building works, patchy road works, everywhere. It has overflowing litter bins. It has filthy pavements spotted with chewing gum and more litter. It has too many tourists. Every city can be beautiful but it takes effort. Edinburgh city fathers don't seem to give a damn beyond Princes Street and it's gardens. I sometimes wonder why I bother to pay my Council Tax when the place continues to look like a knacker's midden. Lost my rose tinted specs long ago. As for the Fringe "Festival" - give me strength, send it to Glasgow!
@@sandersson2813You see how the nose of the dog is shiny metal? Well I should be black like the rest of the statue but it’s been rubbed off by thousands of tourists rubbing the nose.
I love Scotland and Edinburgh. Cheers from Stockholm Sweden 🇸🇪
Hello Frank, surprisingly this was our first time to Edinburgh (but it won’t be our last). Thank you for watching 😊
I agree, but I love Gothenburg Sweden as well as my family live there.
You gents are a lot of fun - keep up the great videos! Glad you showcased my toon, Embra.
Thank you William!
Edinburgh is such a lovely city.
A fantastic vlog that captured Edinburgh perfectly.
Got to say that the haggis pie looked so good.
Another great vlog guys. Stay safe and well.
It’s absolutely stunning, this definitely won’t be our last visit and you’re right, that pie was amazing 😋
Thank you! I'm heading to Edinburgh for the first time next month. This video is a perfect primer. And the energy of you two is wonderful! Thanks again 🙏🏾
Edinburgh is a beautiful city of United Kingdom. I shall have wishful to go Edinburgh in life.
Beautiful! I have been to Edinburgh once. It’s on my bucket list to go again. Just need to go across the pond.
It is a beautiful city, already on our list to visit again too! We hope you get back there 😊
Such great video. Loved Ediburgh eecially I autumn or winter months. Has such a nice cozy feel to it
I know what you mean. We’ve just filmed a new video in Edinburgh that’ll be out in a couple of weeks 😄
Not bad for 9 hours guys.
Everyone mentions the Harry Potter names in the graveyard but very few people know that Charles Dickins also visited there and got his character of Ebenezer Scrooge from a gravestone!
Haste ye back lads.
Definetly I love Edimburgh. Wish I could visit IT soon again. Nice video. Regards from Argentina
Thank you Jorge! We hope you are able to travel there again soon, it really is a beautiful city.
I basolutely love this city. I wish one day to call it home like some of my friends did. Cheers! nice video! thanks!!
It is such a beautiful place and we could imagine it’s a great city to live in!
@@JJExtra btw, your channel is amazing and you two are wonderful. I'm Italian and I understand well your beautiful English, I'm definitely a fan, already!
Oh thank you Laura! It makes us happy that you are enjoying our videos 😊
I love Edinburgh, it’s such a beautiful city! I loved the Real Mary Kings Close a very interesting and spooky underground street
It really is a stunning city, so unique. Oh yes we know all about Mary Kings Close…. It’s on our list for next time 👻
Jason, I can’t believe you don’t like mash potatoes or bagpipers!! I love both, Edinburgh is one of the loveliest cities in the UK.
I would like to state I have no issues with bagpipers I’m sure they are lovely people… the noise their bagpipes make on the other hand… 🤣
Cool video. Edinburgh looks great
Fantastic video, you really caught the atmosphere of Edinburgh, what an amazing place.
Thank you! It is an amazing city, we can’t wait to get back and see more of it. Any recommendations please let us know 😊

What a great way to keep fit! I bet you could never get bored of the views from the top 😊

Great Video JJ ... come to Bath or Bristol for a day or weekend
Thanks Ian. We visited Bath in 2021 so maybe a return visit is in order and Bristol is definitely in our plans for later this year!
Super video. You made it look like fun. Great job.
Thank you ☺️
Love the amount of joint spots you walked past in this video, hope you enjoyed your time in Edinburgh 😂😂
We did enjoy our time thanks John and didn’t smell anything except pie & coffee 😂
God, you are sweet guys. I really enjoyed it. Was in the city just last year and loved it. Would have loved to travel with you. It will be fun. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😊😊

I think you may have been there just around the same time I went to Edinburgh the first time.

No coffee open after 2 ? This is important info I did not know, thanks !
The Hideout is open later (and the coffee was good)
Never had a problem finding coffee after two. That is weird
Did I miss it or did you say where you got that haggis pie from?
Hi Tenor. It was from a place called The Piemaker. You can see the storefront at 05:16 in the video. Hope that helps 😊
@@JJExtra Thanks!
It's on South Bridge

Fun fact: Dolly the sheep was named after Dolly Parton. Why Dolly Parton? Because Dolly the sheep was cloned from mammary cells.
And we thought it was the similarity in hair styles 😂

i think you need a shirt that says, “hey look stairs!” lol
😂 we could have it so on the back it says “if you’re following us be warned. There WILL be stairs & steep inclines” 🤣🤣
Digam ao Ricardo pra vir me buscar! Eu quero ir pra ai
That wasn’t Arthur’s Seat it was the crags.

Thank you for pointing that out, we’d hate to go back and walk up the wrong one… although maybe we should do both?
I dont know if i would go straight to beautiful. It unusual, striking, picturesque. Beautiful though, its debatable.

NO, no were near the world's most beautiful city.
Please let us know where you think is so we can pay a visit in the future 😊
Yes it is.
Plenty cities are as beautiful if not more so, Vienna, Salzburg, Copenhagen, Tallin, Prague, Budapest, Lljubjana, Wroclaw, Krakow etc.
