Thanks Ashley for the excellent review of Edinburgh Scotland! Once again you really brought a delightful view through great cinematography & commentary of this amazing location. Your reviews have helped me enjoy incredible destinations in the past and continue to inspire. There are too many locations in your Edinburgh review to pick a favorite. I did especially enjoy your early morning walk through the royal mile and amazing last dinner spot! Really appreciate your content! Best Always.....Bob V

Thank you, Bob! I think my early morning walk on the Royal Mile was a favorite of mine as well. :)

Ya know what? I've been to beautiful Edinburgh 8 times and your video has me making MUST SEE notes for my 9th trip. Thanks so much! P.S. The Royal Yacht Britannia has a lovely 'tea room' cafe for an after-tour experience. Bus service in Edinburgh is excellent and certainly goes out to Leith. And oops, yes. The Waters of Leith is meant to be picturesque and memorable. Thanks again!

Jealous that you’ve been almost 9 times! The tea service onboard the Britannia is definitely one I’d love to try out when I’m back! (And yes… Leith deserves a 2nd attempt on my part haha!)

Love Edinburgh! Thanks for the lovely video xx

Fellow travel creator. Great video. So much to do. I was there in college about 20 years ago and loved my time there. Can’t wait to get back! Omg that last restaurant was epic.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Glad you enjoyed the video! Edinburgh was beautiful. :)

Great video. As a resident I wholly approve of your restaurant choices. The Scarn and Scallie is a cut above any other Edinburgh pub food and still quite reasonable. Witchery is also awesome but seriously decadent. If you go back check out more pubs on the Shore in Leith near Britannia. Loads of nice pubs with good food and friendly locals.

Thank you! Yes - I would love to go back and explore more of Leith! The walk out that way was fantastic, but I definitely didn’t give myself enough time to really see that area (other than Britannia). It’s high on my list next time I’m there. :)

Thank you from 🇮🇳

If you visit in February, there aren't as many crowds, but we do have horizontal sleet. Bring your heavy weather gear.

Glasgow is a lovely city architecturally, albeit, Edinburgh IMPHO, is much nicer, but yes, a bit on the "very rough" side for sure!! lol Edinburgh is fine. I have visited prior, but not for many years now, so I look forward to heading back there some day soon.

Wow, Thank you for the many tips. I love Edinburgh & I await my time there. A really lovely city for sure. The funniest part for me however, is that as a "large" part Scot, I don't like Whisky & I don't drink it, albeit, I do love it added in ice-cream & cakes etc;. I know it's then cooked out to some degree, so obviously not @ all the same quality/taste. I guess I just cannot appreciate something so refined. lol On the other hand, I'm crazy about Bailey's Irish liqueur however! Thank you for sharing & Peace✌

Great country to visit. I didn't manage to visit the cities, but they look like a must go to locations.

@trishr7463 sounds like a lovely time to visit! I did do quite a lot of walking, but all of the destinations I visited are easily accessible by bus, as well. I even took a cab one night to dinner. :) Enjoy!

TICKETS ONLY ONLINE NOW and in advance for Edinburgh Castle. Walk-ups will be disappointed during Summer.

Oh & please don't forget, that YOU were a "visitor/tourist" too, so you were just an added extra to that large tourist crowd. No different to anyone else that chose to visit this city & rightfully so!

Very helpful video! Can you tell me the dates you were there? I'm planning a trip next spring but I would like to see more leafs than the trees had when you were there, so I'd like to plan it for a couple weeks later.

Don't drive.. I live in Scotland and deriving in Edinburgh is an nightmare.. Its really not car friendly at all.. Avoid car it's not at all needed unless you do trips away from city centre but I would do the city on one trip then other places on another.. There's so much to see. Mostly enjoy
