Hey hey my smart peeps! Has the existence of these museums come as a surprise to you, or are you an EDINBURGH PRO and you've already ticked all of them off your to-do list?

the music museum! i didnt know it exists!

I'm just so impressed and amazed that these places are open for free to the public. Who wouldn't want to go? I'm forever seeking them out when I'm there. I could spend all week inside one and probably not see everything there is to see. THANK YOU for your dedication and your insight. LOVE the music museum, and NO, I had no idea it was there.

Possibly my favourite thing about how things are done in the UK, the free museums and galleries! In Czech Republic most museums and galleries are pay-to-visit, so living here and having all of these at my disposal for free feels like such a luxury!

As a local, this was a great experience finding all of these fascinating places. Where else would you all recommend? :)

I'm sure you must have mentioned it in a previous video, but The Writers' Museum on The Mound is worth a gander

My spouse and I are literally coming to edinburgh in 3 days so you are posting this just in time! ❤

This video was fantastic! i need to visit them all now!

thanks for the great advices. As always, with humor, very substantive and interesting. It's great that you are. I will be in Edinburgh on Monday and will take your advice.

Thank you for the recommendations for unique museums and galleries! These will come in handy for my August visit!

Love it!

I am always obsessed with your outfits and your style!! Can you share where you get them?? Maybe a vide about the best clothes stores in Edinburgh/Glasgow?:D

Hey I didn’t know about all of these ! Love the teeny place on the edge of the Meadows. Yay to this video !

Excellent information 👏👏💯 Already added to my list of ideas for next visit 😊

Nice collection of assorted quirkiness and definitely good for a cold, dark or rainy day (or all three).

Great! Now I need to visit more places! 😉. I'd basically heard of none of these. Triple huge thanks for the heads up.

That was neat! Thanks for sharing 👍

Glad to hear it's appreciated! .)

Most people watching this will be unaware that the wee gallery situated in The Meadows (shown at the beginning) is a redundant police box. It dates to a time before personal radios and allowed beat constables to receive and send messages via the dedicated telephone line installed inside. They could also shelter from the rain and carry out minor administrative work. Originally it would have been painted blue. The BBCs Doctor Who series uses an English pattern police box as the Tardis. One small observation: we actually employ the definite article when referring to certain places or streets. For example: The New Town; The Old Town; The Royal Miles etc. We don’t describe them as simply Royal Mile or New Town. Quirky I know but that’s just what we tend to do.

When we were just in Scotland we got the Historic Scotland pass and it was wellllll worth it! I really wanted to see some of these but there is just so much to see and do there! Guess we’ll have to come back! 😂

Thankfully I am plannning to come back :D

Great video but you missed out on us! The Museum of Magic, Fortune-telling & Witchcraft just off the Royal Mile

Well then! Maybe we need to figure something out together in the future .) Feel free to send me an email at kakibotvids@gmail.com if you'd like to think of a witchy halloweeny video later in the year! .)

This video is great. I've been visiting Edinburgh for forty years and never knew St. Cecilia's Hall has a collection of historic instruments. I will have to make sure to see this on my next visit. I've visited Surgeons Hall Museum but have never heard of Physicians Gallery. Need to check out that one too.

St Cecilia's Hall really feels like it doesn't exist if you're not specifically going after it!

Thank you for the list, can't wait to check it out! I'm not sure there's a link in the description for the "Handy Dandy Map", am I missing something?

I thought you might sneak in that new museum of witchcraft ( not Harry Potter related!) that’s opened somewhere near the Royal mile. Not been there myself yet so as yet not had any recommendations for it 😃

Huh, I think I've seen like... an a4 printout saying it's.. perhaps coming? It was slapped onto a very empty looking shop, so to be honest I assumed it went up and down within months and I just never noticed it ! Haha

ALSO! Our next video is about Royal Mile so if I see it and it is actually open I can give it another try ,)
