Thanks for explaining exactly what they are, I could never get my head around it as I also heard that Edinburgh was built over an older city, I get it now. I got the concept after doing street view on top of cowgate bridge and could see the lower level, thanks again

I could never understand the location and arrangement of the vaults, until I took a tour into that mysterious lair. An extensive labyrinth runs beneath South Bridge, with dark and hellish subterranean chambers concealed by the overbuild. By all means, if you've never seen the vaults, get yourself a tour through this intriguing part of Old Town! Thanks for today's installment, Tony.

My band used to love playing Bannermans, the acoustics are fantastic.

LOVE the vaults. Thank you for telling the story, I never get tired of hearing about them and you explained it just fine, really enjoyed listening, you sir are a fine storyteller! 🙂 I miss them quite a bit as I was a guide with Mercat for 5 years before lockdown and adore hearing and talking about the city's underground secrets 🙂

The underground city came about from the Jules Verne's novel, The Underground City which references Arthur's Seat as being above the underground city.

Very interesting! I did a tour several years ago that was mostly about ghosts 👻. They didn’t really explain the history, and I’m so glad you did! Great job!

If you're ever in Seattle, you should tour the Seattle Underground. It actually is an underground city of sorts. After a big fire, they moved the roadways and sidewalks up a storey, leaving the existing structures underneath.

Love the Border appearance! :D The vaults are fascinating, when I was a kid I always thought people were living under there 😂 all I heard about was the 'city under the city' and assumed it was something from Futurama...

Very informative. Thanks for helping me visualize where I was, when going underground on the tours and placing above ground location. Thank you. Please more of the historical stuff.

Love it when you ramble Tony, you always have something interesting to say! The vaults sound fascinating, will definitely have to add it to the list I am slowly building for when I can finally visit! 😃

Good to see you and Merlin! This video is very interesting and educational. I went on a tour of the underground caverns about 13 years ago. The guide told us that the city was built on top of the old city. I'm glad to know that it's an urban legend. Now I won't be telling others false information.
