Tony, I want to thank you for this great video. It inspired this 66 year old to take the plunge and plan to climb Arthur's Seat. Wasn't sure I could do it, but this morning, I got to watch the sunrise from the top. It was magnificent. You have made our current trip to Edinburgh so much better through your videos. Again, thank you. And DAMN, it was windy!

@ClanBroonford 5 лет назад

Thats brilliant. Hope you enjoyed the view fro the top

@pollywog7318 5 лет назад

A great video. I want to tell you, I just got back from England and Scotland (a lifelong dream!) last Friday and I went to some of the places you showed in other videos (Grassmarket, a restaurant there, the hanging spot in the square, Edinburgh Castle) I kept my eyes open for you but didn't see you (not surprising as you were probably at work) but I wanted to tell you how enriched my short visit was to beautiful Edinburgh from watching your videos! My husband and I were communicating back and forth as he watched some of your videos too and we learned about Half Hangit Maggie, etc. Keep up the great work! It made everything feel like I was visiting an old friend when I saw some of the sights of Edinburgh;)

@ClanBroonford 5 лет назад

This is a good place to extend my deep gratitude and appreciation for your work and for sharing your obvious love of Edinburgh with the rest of the world. While I was wondering around the Old and New Town areas, I stumbled upon dozens of insanely crowded and popular sights and locations that were recognizable to me because of your video series. The real fun for me was coming across some of your favorite obscure locations and, again, quickly recognizing them. I felt right at home in your lovely city. Thanks, ever thanks.

Hi enjoyed your video! Did the walk yesterday in the stormy weather, got soaked on way by a nice chap in his Audi by driving fast through the flood water, cheers pal! Ascended Salisbury crags 1st then down and back up a steep path! Got the summit to myself amazing! Was difficult getting pics in the heavy rain! I know it's only a hill but the route I took it was a mini mountain. A fantastic place! Can't wait to visit again maybe doing a couple of loops! Cheers Mark.

Thank you SO much for this video! Walking up Arthur’s Seat is the last thing left on my Edinburgh bucket list and I’ve been wanting to do that for years! But somehow I’ve still not managed to get up there! I finally tried back in Feb. and used the path you used to walk up, but it was so muddy and slippery on that day, so I gave up. I’ll be back in June and will hopefully be able to try again then and, thanks to you and your video, I’ll know the different routes and will see which one is best for me. I’m a “No Sports!” person, so it’ll be a nice challenge and I’ll be so proud of myself when I finally make it to the top. And those views! WOW! 😍

@ClanBroonford 5 лет назад

Just take your time and enjoy the walk. Have fun.

@L1ghtOn3 2 года назад

Used to slide down the grass as a kid with shell suit bottoms on, fun times lol Best place to view Edinburgh up there, always windy but worth the climb. If you are into jogging the race around arthurs seat is gd too, it all keeps you fit no matter if you climb it to the top or walk/jog round and round the radical rd the radical rascal ran. 👍

@The.Dulcet.Toned.Scotsman 4 года назад

Great video mate. Born and bred in Edinburgh myself and never bothered my a**e to go up Arthur's seat, because A. It's not going anywhere and B) because I'm a lazy sod. I just wanted to say that this video has given me the boost to get it done and finally get it done. if not done so already you should check out Wallaces cave down Roslin Glen, few hidden wee gems down that neck of the woods. Cheers again man, keep up the good work!

Thank you for the wonderful video. I am so glad now that it was pouring rain the day we were planning to climb Arthur’s Seat. I must say it was a blessing the rain kept us off the climb. I would have to be air-evacuated off the top if I made it to the top. I have a tiny problem with heights!

We've been in town for several days now and your videos have been a great help. Been on the lookout for you but no luck so far :) I can't emphasize enough for those planning a visit to Edinburgh the steepness of the streets heading up the royal mile to the castle. If you have bad knees like me or are out of shape you will have a VERY difficult time so be prepared. Wear good walking shoes! Keep up the good work guys! Thanks from clan Gamble. :) PS. we highly recommend Highland eXperience tours booking out of cafe Nero across from St Giles. Try and get on Garry's bus. He's a blast!!

Would love some videos on speaking Scottish, ie. how things are pronounced, and common, everyday sayings (not just slang) in Edinburgh. I'm writing a book and could use all the help I can get on making the accents believable.

I love starting my Saturdays here in California with a Broonford video - look forward to it each week! I’ve been to Edinburgh twice and have climbed Arthur’s Seat both times, and you are so right in saying that this climb “gets you all out of breath and you want to die.” But it’s also SO worth it! I’ll be back in about a month and will need to do some driving on this next visit. Do you mind if I ask you a question here in the comments about driving in Scotland?

@hmeyer827 5 лет назад

@@ClanBroonford I’m trying to figure out how to get from Edinburgh to Fast (aka False aka Fause) Castle. From what I can see it's pretty isolated on the east coast, just north of St. Abb’s Head Nature Reserve. I’m not a fan of driving, even here in the US where I live; I’ve done it once in the UK (Lincoln, England) and found it extremely stressful because everything is the reverse of what I'm used to. I think I’d be OK as long as I’m not in city traffic. I’m considering taking public transportation to a place outside Edinburgh, such as Musselburgh or North Berwick and driving from there. Thoughts on that? How is the A1 in that area? Is it pretty heavily trafficked or not too bad? Thanks so much!

Recently discovered your videos. That you for sharing your city with the world. My wife and I love Scotland and are coming back (from US) to celebrate our 25th anniversary in June. We will definitely go up Arthur's Seat while in Edinburgh this time, so appreciate this video (showed me which path not to do). I have a question for both of you. We would like to bring some small gifts for people we will be meeting on our travels (both men and women). Since you have visited the States before, are there any particular items you might recommend to bring from here that Scottish people would appreciate (i.e. not available locally)? I feel most things are universally available these days, but there are still some items unique to each place. What treats, etc. do you pack your suitcases with when you travel home from Florida? Appreciate any ideas. ~ Jonathan

One of your viewers from Belfast asked about wheelchair facilities at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.I was a volunteer barrier steward for 15 years.In my time there was access on the left hand side of castle hill for wheelchair users and other disabled people.b( Term used was walking wounded ) they were admitted going up on the left hand side before the main crowd were given access to the ticket barriers..Once you pass the security check point take to the right hand side in front of the stand where you are undercover and have a ringside view. All the staff are their to assist any customer needing any help, all you have to do is ask for it.When the show finishes it is quite a lot of people leaving and I would ask any wheelchair uses to hold back a bit until the rush eases off.In the 60 odd years of the Tattoo there has never been a show cancelled.Please ensure you are well wrapped up as the esplanade can be quite cold.I have seen Foreign visitors leaving shortly after the show starts as they had not been advised about how cold it can be.
