I love the enthusiasm you have for Edinburgh. Nice cinematography and lots of good information for those who come to explore.

Edinburgh brings back awesome memories.... having my childhood there in the 70s. Now glad both my daughters have chosen Uni in Scotland. I would rate Edinburgh as a world heritage must see city. Old hardware combined with new software. The Scottish are warm people indeed

Only been to Edinburgh once.(want to get back again one day) Having a pack lunch in the Princes Street Gardens was an enjoyable time to relax and take a break from sightseeing.

Just to note if anyone is planning to go to the National Museum of Scotland make sure you book onto one of the free tour guides!! the museum is huge so its really nice to have someone guide you and tell you about things you wouldn't of even realised :)

After 3 years of waiting and watching your videos, finally my husband and I have made it to Edinburgh. Thanks so much for all your amazing videos!!

Oh thank you so much. I am in need for this video as i am at Edinburgh now !!!

I saw your videos after my 1st visit to Edinburgh and have been watching your videos to prepare for my next 1. I'll be there again this time next week! I can't wait to see Scotland again!!

I'll be in Edinburgh (for the third time) this October with my dad and brother! It will be their first time in Scotland and I am so excited to show them my favorite city in the world. Thank you for this video!

I love Edinburgh! I have been there twice and don’t know if I’ll ever get back there but fell in love with it. (I’ll say this softly but this is better than London by far!)

The parliament was actually opened in 1999 / 2001 and not 1991 like I said in the video. P.S - join my Patreon membership for exclusive perks www.patreon.com/shaunvlog

Went to Edinburgh/Scotland for the first time in 2018 and absolutely loved it! Great recommendations in this video.

Botanic gardens is also a really good free thing to do in Edinburgh. Also the Stockbridge Market on a Sunday 😊

It's great to see my hometown in all its glory. Brilliant as always Shaun! :)

I found the Water of Leith walking path completely by accident when I was there in 2017. Beautiful walk.

I have spent one month of my summer in Edinburgh and I went to the majority of the places you mentioned in this video. I can't wait to come back to Edinburgh, your city is the most beautiful city I have ever visited❤ . A girl from Spain

My husband and I haven't had our honeymoon yet, and we got married 3 years ago... This is definitely where we're going to have to go! I'm saving this video for later so we can hit up all of these places. Thank you! Two other good reasons we need to go: 1) Both of our families are originally from Scotland. 2) We've never ever been out of Ontario Canada. Never been in a plane. Never seen the ocean either. It'll be an epic trip when we can make it work 😌

When my daughter visited Edinburgh in May she hiked up Arthur's Seat and sent me some wonderful photos. I want to visit so very badly but walking isn't easy for me anymore so between her photos and your vlog I have gotten to see your beautiful city. Thank you Shaun.

Thank you Shaun for doing this video. My wife and I will be there in September 2019 and this really helps us.

Had the pleasure of exploring some of Edinburgh in 2001, but I was broke and alone and had no plan. This video makes me want to return and do it right. Great list.

I love you videos. When I’m home sick for Edinburgh I click on to these. I used to climb Arthur seat just about every weekend, great memories that’s why I love Rebus so much I know where he is in his books

This is what really surprised me about Edinburgh was just how little money we spent, yet saw so many AMAZING historical sites, museums,etc. Some of the BEST museums in the world! We were able to visit without spending much more than we'd spend on our day to day life at home.......But I hated missing Portabella Beach! But I didn't know til Shaun featured it....oh well, NEXT TIME!

Shawn now you make me want to go to Scotland even more. Thanks for the tour.

Have been to Edinburgh. Was on a choir tour. Only been to the castle, saw the bridge over the firth of fourth, visited Arthur's seat,and sang at St. Mary's.

As a American especially one from rural Kentucky it's so strange hearing about places that have been around for centuries. It's not like we don't have any historical stuff we've got a lot but it's all at most 250 years old. Even if we go to a grave yard we're amazed if it's form the civil war. But either way l love the video and the fact that you love to show the world your home. And I see why because Edinburgh is just gorgeous.

Thanks for the video! I am in Edinburgh with my wife this week and we pretty much did everything in your video. Deans Village was beautiful! Thank you again!

I’m off on my first solo trip tomorrow to Edinburgh! Thank you so much for this video it has massively helped me!

Be sure to visit Muirhouse when in Edinburgh. Majestic.

1st.) Whatever camera you are using, WOW! 2nd.) This content is far more worthy than 97k followers. This quality of content (including editing) is Top Notch! Here's to reaching 100k soon!!!! 3rd.) As you know, would love for you and Teka...(and family) to come to the US to live. 4th.) If you are interested in 'Spokes', in the US, Boyyyyyyy, we have tons! In New England, the Salem Witch Trial, is a big thing. Halloween is massively huge holiday here, and, at least in my region, it's almost treated like a religious holiday. Early Colonialism and Hauntings goes hand in hand here....Absolutely Terrifying. As Always, Keep up the great work!

On my second channel, I’m going to post a lot more behind the scenes videos. Would love to see you over there >>> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aM9dktF9uJPam2g.html

We just came from the Fringe this year and walked the city up and down! What a glorious and beautiful place this is! We wish to return! Scotland is simply unforgettable 💙

Enjoyed the tour Shaun! Some friends, my wife & I spent a few days in Edinburgh in the Spring '08. We're all history geeks and that place is loaded with it! One of our favorite places was Greyfriars Kirkyard. We had drinks and haggis fritters w/ whiskey sauce in the pub at the gateway that were just fantastic. Then there was the endearing story of "Greyfriars Bobby", so wonderful. We then visited the grave and monument of Rev. Alexander Henderson of Covenanter fame. (He was the multiple Great Grandfather of our traveling companion, Johanna.) We were guided through the cemetery by a deminunitive gentleman from the Kirk office. After finding Hendersons monument he offered to show us his ancestors marker. We agreed of course, primarily out of courtesy. That monument was a plaque up high on the side of the Kirk, it was honoring Colin Mclaurin. (I was just amazed, having studied the mathematical principles of this protege' of Sir Isaac Newton when I was in college!) It had been placed by his son and written in latin. So our "guide" explained that it made some comment about how his intellect even surpassed the bounds of death then he casually laughed and said "what rubbish!" We all just rolled laughing. What a grand memory from an amazing place... Thanks for bringing it back!

It's one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, certainly one of my absolute favourites. I love the medieval structure of the Old Town, just gorgeous.

What a gorgeous, informative video. Well done! It's in my top 10. Thanks Shaun!

Wonderful video...brings back fantastic memories from 35 years ago when I was there for my 18th birthday. Oh to be young again.☺

Hope you’re going to the fringe opening ceremony in your favourite stadium! Also free

Going to be there in 6 weeks!!! Can not wait to visit Scotland for the first time! Coming from Fraser’s ridge in NC 😉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Shaun..... I love your video,- and I love Edinburgh. I lived there for 3 months busking with my bagpipe. I could stay forever..... you missed the fantatic view from the castle esplanade. From here you can look to all sides,- to Athurs Seat, the Old Town and Grass Marked and down on Princess Street and Gardens. To go to esplanade in the morning to see the town waking up is awesome..... I also can recommend The Old Calton Burial Ground at the start of Pricess Street. Awesome place with some important persons. Once again, thanks for your video.... I love it.

This is such a great channel! My Maxwell ancestors come from the south in Scotland! I love seeing all these amazing houses from afar!

Shaun, your pride in your city shines in this video! Thanks for this series. I look forward to seeing where you take us next.

My family is going to Scotland and will be in Edinburgh. Can't wait!! We leave on the redeye Friday!

went to edinburgh last summer and did half the things one this list. it was amazing. 10/10 would go back and do it all again

Excellent video.........

Thank you so much for this video Shaun. I love watching your videos about your homeland and the little bits of history you add.

I proposed to my wife at the Ross' Fountain in Prince's Street Gardens (literally behind Shaun's head where the woman in all white is sitting!) Back then it was covered in gold leaf. I can't wait to see it in two weeks all restored with the new paint job!

The Arthur's seat is amazing totally worth waiting for! 👍

I was born in Edinburgh, but I now live in Glasgow...!! My dad still lives near Morningside..!

I’ve lived in in Scotland my entire life and been to Edinburgh several times, but honestly never seen much of it. Gonna check these out once it’s safe to travel again!

Rah my recommendations are spot on coming in two weeks eyyy can’t wait for the castle and fringe

For Outlanders fans, something almost free (the price of a pint) is a stop at the World's end tavern. (season 3) It exists for real!

When you were talking about the Royal Mile being uphill, it reminded me of my trip to Edinburgh, the first time I had ever been to Scotland. I decided right away that everything in Scotland was uphill both ways after visiting Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Edinburgh with us.

Beautiful city, Shaun. Just one more justifiable reason for your Scottish pride. You're a lucky man to live there.

16:14 Calton Hill! We've been there! It's very free! And the view is indeed awesome.

There is a public car park by the Princes Street Gardens, and a "funky" hotel about a block or so away. It felt like we were down in a little hole at the bottom of a hill. We had a room several floors up and could lie in bed looking at the castle all night as it was lit with spotlights. We thought the hotel was pricey, but the view was just amazing. That stay was a quick stopover. We had dinner after our train ride from London, and the next morning picked up our rental car for the drive to our cottage in the Highlands near Braemar.

Our trips to Edinburgh were always whirlwind stopovers on the way to somewhere else. We made time to see Holyroodhouse Palace (closed to tours because the Duke was in town, so we stopped in the Queen's Gallery) and Edinburgh Castle (look for the pet cemetery near the top). We walked through the gardens surrounding the Scott monument. We found a pub near the hotel, and had to buy another suitcase at John Lewis next door to hold all the things we bought on the trip.

Loved the National Museum of Scotland. The Writer’s Museum is worth a visit also. Ian Rankin fans can also many of the locations in his Rebus novels. Golf fans might want to visit Leith Links, though it is a park now. Saw Carlton Hill during the Hogmanay torchlight procession.

This was an amazing video!!! Thank you for taking us on tour of your beautiful city!!

Great video Shaun, thank you! I've visited Scotland (Edinburgh and Glasgow) last summer and it felt so good revisiting this city with your guidance, it gave me the chills. What an amazing city you get to live in!

Wow! Thank you Shaun! Absolutely beautiful city and green spaces! And the beach is so close! Love the gardens! You live in such a beautiful historic City! The camera work and drone shots, just incredible! Oh how I wish I could come there! So hot out here in the Western States! Your the best! Thank you for this! 💕☄️☘️

Amazing video and perfect timing as I'll be in your hometown in mid September! Thank you Shaun!

Thank you for sharing, we are going to be in Edinburg next summer. Your video is very informative

I wish I've seen tihs video two years ago when I visited Edimburgh the fringe, not all places you mentioned I went to, but in Portobelo, Arthur's seat, Greyfriars and Prince street gardens I spent a lot time in each, it is a lovely place Edimburgh, it was the highlights of my 2017 summer.

Love this city !!! Watch to remind myself so precious time spent there !!!

Thank you so much for this video! I am planning to travel to Scotland next year (on a tight budget) so this is really helpful for me :)

I fell in love with that city!! And I´d love to be back someday! I am glad because I visited everyone of the places of your list! Thanks for this video!

Awesome video, Shaun. This just makes us want to visit Edinburgh again. It's been far too long since we were last there. We loooove Dean village!

My 1st FRINGE fest this year (after my fiancée and I leave Gretna). This is very helpful. From Arizona.

What a great idea! This series will be a big hit. Thank-you for showing us so many beautiful sights.

What a wonderful video/tour. Thanks for inviting us along with you.

Hi Shaun! Greetings from the great state of Minnesota in the US! I'm a bit late to the party, just recently discovering your vlog and channel, but I am loving getting caught up as quickly as I can. We are making our first trip to Scotland in October 2020 and the fun is just beginning. Thanks for all the great videos, tips, advice, and laughs! Keep 'em coming!

Yes, Water of Leith is a wonderful, tranquil walk.

So beautiful Shaun! Thank you for this. I feel lucky traveling through your videos. PS: Yes, I love Outlander!!!!!

I love the view with the blue fountain and the castle up above in the distance. Just beautiful!! Great tips for free things to do.

Hey Shaun.. your friend from Berkeley California I want to tell you that I’m going through a bit of a hard time in your videos totally lifted my spirits. I can’t wait for my trip to Scotland! You gave me a good response from my trip to Croatia however like many Americans I have Scottish background and I like scotch whiskey So I’m looking forward to a visit thanks for the video brother

Tip: Use Lothian Buses - and Airlink to get in the city centre. Try an Edinburgh Bus Tour too!

I’m going to Edinburgh at the weekend!! I can’t wait

My wife and I are headed to England/Scotland in September. I got the chance to visit a little bit of Scotland 10 yrs ago for a travel semester, but my wife has never been. We're planning 3 nights in Edinburgh, and this video is a huge help. I'll be taking a look at your others. Thanks!

Wow it's all so breathtaking beautiful. Thank you Shaun!

About half of these were on my list for our first trip over in late May next year :) Hoping the weather will be decent then, and thanks for the tips Shaun!

Thank you, Shaun. You are always friendly and accommodate your fans.

Thank you for the great video, Hoping to visit Edinburgh next month

I miss Edinburgh.., I spent part of the summer of 1986 there!!!

I'm planning to go to Edinburgh and this video will help me

In November i will be traveling for the first time to Edinburgh and I already fell in love with the town just by watching your videos. !!! Thank you so much for the Tipps!!! I can’t wait to get there

Used this video on our holiday to Edinburgh last week. Loved it.

Suburban Washington DC, is home to a really great Scottish Pub called "The Royal Mile" on Vehrs Mill Rd in Wheaton, MD. It's very close to "Disneyland for Musicians"; Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center, generally referred to as "Chuck's", the largest musical instrument and amplification warehouses on the east coast. It's where the pros shop. It's been my go to music shop since the early '70s. Even if you don't play, it's like a museum of everything musical; horns, strings, stadium p/a systems, guitars, basses, amps, keyboards and yes, even BAGPIPES.

I was there on my birthday during Fringe and I loved it so much!

Thanks for the video! I'm currently planning a trip in Scotland in September, so it's very helpful! Would you also consider making a video about your recommendations on where to eat in Edinburgh?

I've been to Edinburgh last year and it was so enchanting! Can't wait to come back and make use of your recommendations!:)

One of my ancestors worked as a baker in Bakehouse Close. My daughter and I visited last September. I fell in love with Scotland...especial Edinburgh! And I felt my ancestors presence there with me. It was a very moving experience! Thanks for sharing all of your amazing tips! So helpful!

Hello Shaun and thank you for all your very useful and so pleasant videos ! :) I'm french and I'll be in scoltand for seven days next week. So I intend to watch every single videos of yours to be prepared and enjoyed the most of your beautiful country ! (edinburgh, pitlochry for the games, inverness, skye, mallaig to fort william and glencoe!). Thank you for what you're doing. It's incredible to see your amazed eyes, as if you were a tourist, while you live in Edinburgh all year round!

From one guide to another... the Royal Mile was the length taken to measure the Scottish Mile, longer than the English of course (1,984 yards) used until the 18th Century

after watching this vlog i have just book up to come to scotland for a week in july never been and iam in only about 2 hours drive [ newcastle ] thank you for this vlog
