My wife and I stayed in the Grassmarket area when we were there 2 years ago for our honeymoon. We loved the area and went back to Edinburgh this past new year before the world shutdown. Scotland, the people and the nature are so of the most beautiful in the world.

I love Edinburgh. My grandfather trained there with the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in 1914, and I visited in the spring of '82. It was awesome to walk through the gates of Edinburgh Castle 68 years after Grandad. (There's family lore that says Grandad had a sweet little Scottish lassie with whom he corresponded for many years. Alas, it was not meant to be. Apparently my grandmother found some of the lassie's letters years later, and burned them!)

I have "lived" in Edinburgh for a total of 4 months...spread out over 4 different years, performing magic during the Fringe Festival, in theatres and on the Mile. I love watching your video tours. Reminds me of what I loved about "living" there. So glad you highlighted Victoria Street, which is visually beautiful and has my favourite shop, Aha Ha Ha, because of the small magic section they have. I hope to return again one day soon because I have a number of friends I'd love to see again, some who live there year round. Cheers!

Right there at the Cowgate used to be a venue in the 80's called La Sorbonne, my friends would play gigs there. I used to manage them. It burned down. I miss that place.

We're working our way through your older videos now and were happy to see this one. This year, instead of staying in the New Town, we're staying in the Grassmarket. Thanks for the tour and for being such a great resource as we plan our time in Edinburgh. :)

@ClanBroonford

Hi, and thanks very much. In answer to your question. You can walk. The castle is literally above the grass market. Watch my video on The Grassmarket and the video that explore the closes. They should help.

Nice videos mate. What happened to the Jekyll and Hyde pub? It was an awesome place, the toilets. I'm coming up in October with the tribe on the train. St Neots then Peterborough and all the way up. I'd tell yer about my first visit, it would include going via the A66.
@ClanBroonford
@ClanBroonford 6 лет назад
Yeah the Jekyll and Hyde shut down a couple of years ago. Its now called the Hanover Tap. Its a nice little pub. Not quite got the same feel as it had with the hidden toilets in the book case. Have a great visit.
@f8boyslim
@f8boyslim 6 лет назад
I may swing by off the beaten track then, visiting old places. Those book cases were brilliant. These millennials missed out. I think we are going to the castle as my other half wants to see it, although I've been and cracked my head on the mens bogs going down the steps. Keep up the good work, your videos are great.

Its been covered over and I hear that its located on the west side, but I would like to know exactly where it is...thanks. btw, my favorite chippy is located right by Armstrongs ( castle rock fish bar )

@Cheezsoup
@Cheezsoup 5 лет назад
@Jay s Didn't think there was one specific close they did 'business' in. Up near thre 'Cat cafe' is an area called the west port this was their sort of stomping ground. There is a pub up there called the Burke and Hare , it is pretty much a lap dancing 'club' these day but back in the 80s it was a pretty normal pub with live music[1] (and Go-Go dancers [as they used to be called]). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Port,_Edinburgh Quote from that site, Was this perhaps what you meant "The West Port murders were so named as many of the victims were tempted back to Hare's lodgings in Tanner's Close, off the West Port, to be murdered. The site is now occupied by Argyle House. " [1] One of the acts was Billy Jones . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F0M_62mRhBc.html Weird to think he is still on the go and pumping out the same stuff 35 years later
