A Tour of Edinburgh, Scotland's Most Beautiful City

Comment 100, that's me, yes really good, as the gal below pointed out: gothic, but quite pretty as well; unique, could be going there. Great video.

An absolutely amazing city, been there twice and need to go back!

I totally agree with you, Edinburgh is awesome. I’ve watched a few times for my afternoon relaxation hour and it’s always uplifting. So gothic and glorious!

Another great walk lovely city was there some years ago love to go back keep up the good work

May I ask when this was filmed? The weather seemed nice but a bit coldish and I'm trying to figure out the best time to visit Edinburgh again. 😊
I really liked your video, so keep going! 💐 Greetings from Berlin!

Such a beautiful place!! And the fairytale towns like Dean Village.

No words, pish

Beautiful walk tour. Edinburgh is a wonderful place to explore

Learmonth Gardens is a quiet street in the respectable district of Comely Bank in Edinburgh. But one of its houses has a disturbing history. In the mid 1930s, the house was occupied by a baronet, Sir Alexander Seton, and his family. The family took a trip to Egypt and brought back a souvenir that they would later regret ever having set eyes upon.The trip to Egypt incorporated a visit to the Temple of Luxor and in spite of the fact that it was illegal to remove anything from the tombs, Lady Seton picked up a small bone as a memento and brought it back to Scotland with her. The bone was placed in a glass case in the dining room. The family had hardly settled back into normal life when strange and disturbing things started to happen. Crashing sounds were heard and furniture was found in disarray. Ornaments were found broken in rooms that had been empty. Lady Seton fell suddenly and inexplicably ill with a mystery complaint. Time and time again, the family were disturbed by strange occurrences which had no explanation at all. Strangest of all was a ghostly figure in long robes that appeared in the house to several people, residents and visitors alike. Servants of the family became unnerved and sought employment elsewhere. At one point Sir Alexander lent the bone to a scientist friend and the ghost disappeared from Learmonth Gardens, only to be seen in the home of his friend. Such a story could not remain a secret long, and soon the Edinburgh newspapers were full of stories of the ‘Curse of the Pharaoh’ as they called it. The bone was returned to Learmonth Gardens and once more the furniture seemed to take on a life of its own. Sir Alexander himself became ill and eventually surrendered the bone to a priest. The bone was exhumed and then burnt and thankfully the torment came to an end.

The Church of St John the Evangelist, is a Scottish Episcopal church in the centre of Edinburgh. It is sited at the west end of Princes Street at its junction with Lothian Road, and is protected as a category A listed building.

On the left as you go in the door is a plaque for a John Stuart Forbes (J S Hiley) who had to leave Edinburgh in disgrace and ended up in America and his bad luck followed him as he joined the US Cavalry and landed in the 7th and went down with Custer at the Battle of Little Big Horn.

The grandfather of American folk singer Joan Baez, William Henry Bridge was Minister here and her mother Joan Chando Bridge was born in Edinburgh and baptised in St Johns.

I was there about 3 years ago and I love the city I hope to come back there someday and see it again it has great souvenirs is a beautiful city and there are many other beautiful cities in Europe I plan on coming back there someday and seeing all of them

Could you do leith?

Nice City
The Laws in Scotland on visiting pubs and restaurants during the time of Covid restrictions were ridiculous though . We visited many pubs along the royal mile and the wider City, only to be told we had to have a sit down meal if we were coming in ! Apparently in Scotland Covid doesn’t infect you if you eat an extortionately priced meal 👍

Good job man Thank you 👍😎

Am hoping to visit this year any recommendations for cheap accommodation and would you recommend coach or train we can't drive and internal flights are exortionate

Which camera sir.? Take Care ✌️

Beautiful old buildings many needing maintenance ,some with awful modern additions , elegant shops of the past now gone.
Tatty garish shops for tourists, shabby grey pedestrians, roads in need of repair..... .I lived there for fifty years and feel sad for the city of former days !

Caught me by the heart. Edinburgh is among my favorite cities in the world. Top Five....and closer to the top of the Top. Wonderful

Total concrete, time for a new era and planting plants and trees. These streets are the fall of humanity. I thought it was much prettier out there. Disappointed.

Proud to live there 🤘

If you turn right at the next corner you find yourself heading toward Belles Brae and Dean bridge. Turn left there and descend down to Dean Village. Spend a while there and then find your way back to the main stone bridge and turn left heading alongside the Water of Leith which takes you down to the lovely town of Stockbridge via a lovely place called St. Bernards Well. Find your way around out of the town and you end up on Leith walk heading back and coming out on, Princes Street opposite the Balmoral Hotel.

❤️

It’s beautiful no doubt but now in these days this city loosing lots of places which is very sad 😞.

Cafes, not cafe’s.

No good without commentary

Very good tour indeed it is

Such a lovely video, please check my channel too 😀

Brilliantly done Thanks

My beautiful Edinburgh, I love my home town , though through fate moved south , but SNP have ruined my beloved city

After being badly beaten up and hospitalised for a week it tarnished my opinion of this city. I add that it was an unprovoked attack and racist because many profanities were uttered about me being English.

Glasgow over Edinburgh any day

It might be a very big irony, and it's true that Edinburgh has had no such development, comparing with London, but historic buildings like jewels have survived at the end. I guess it's a big fortune in anyhow. Any city folk and natives feel very sad, after many buildings of some hundreds years are torn down, generally speaking.

👍👍👍

pity about the roads.

EDINBURGH MAY BE A BEAUTIFUL CITY BUT SINCE THE BLOODY IDIOTIC SNP CAME INTO POWER, MOST OF THE STREETS ARE FULL OF POTHOLES.
EDINBURGH, THE CAPITOL OF SCOTLAND? WHAT A BLOODY JOKE AND A DISGRACE.

No longer auld reekie!

Ahhhhh Edinburgh, love it there. but so many new areas you showing me. Need to return! I loved Victoria Street! The story of the dear little dog brought tears to my eyes such devotion! Glad the girl's foot was ok, thought she might have sprained it. :(

A tour of Edinburgh without walking through the new town 🤭 next time hopefully…

Another wonderful Edinburgh video!👏 We are taking a trip through on Sunday😊. Always shed a tear over Greyfriars Bobby. The wee pile of sticks left for him.😪😪

It's an amazing place I love it because my heart is there

Love all your videos especially Edinburgh....like the way you put up the streets so we know where to go when we go.

Loved the video, the buildings, the background music and the weather was good too keep up the fantastic work and keep on walking 👍👍🚶🏻🚶🏻

your film is really impressive👍, would you like to film in China next time ?

Ahh. Greyfriars Bobby. Such a sad but heart-warming story about the faith of a small dog to his master. Disney made a movie of it in the early 60s. I believe there was a restaurant nearby where old Jock would eat, and they fed the little dog for years after Jock passed. Initially they tried to shoo the dog away from the cemetery when they closed the gates at night, but the little dog wouldn't have it. He had to sleep by his master's grave.
Thank you for the tour. I'll have to get back there sometime between now and when I'm gone.

A great video - what a beautiful city!

Carlton Hill , Water of Leith through the City

Another great walk but you are walking so fast - to keep warm ? - that my laptop is overheating !!
