Edinburgh is unlike anything we've experienced! Americans First Time in Scotland 

If you have suggestions of what to see and do on our next visit to Edinburgh, let us know! New here? Check out our video of first arriving in Scotland and staying in a castle: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_oixP-IucLo.html&t

I think you’re the first American I’ve come across who pronounces Edinburgh properly, as it should be. Congratulations!

Edinburgh is really yet at its best in autumn when it’s moody and the buildings all look more gothic and impressive

In my opinion, Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. I visited Edinburgh and the highlands a few years ago and it was amazing. I'm coming back in December and this video made me so excited about it! Loved it ❤️

LOL! My daughter walked past you in the background! OMG, sending this to her immediately. BTW Ensign Ewart is pronounced ‘en-sin you-art’

As a local, it's always lovely to see how others see the city and what they enjoy.

So refreshing to see a travel vlog that isn't instantly all about Harry Potter when going to Edinburgh, the fact you started with Trainspotting was amazing. I hope you had a chance to visit Glasgow? As beautiful as Edinburgh is and I will admit its prettier than Glasgow, it just doesn't have the same vibe, nightlife, edginess as Glasgow does.

her smiley face always cheers me up, lovely couple, many thanks

Thanks for visiting my home city and for such a positive impression. Haste ye back! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

I like how you visit cemeteries. I don't think it's morbid. Contemplating our mortality in such peaceful places makes life all the sweeter.

Hey! I've been subscribed to you for a few months now, love your videos and your personalities. I'm half Scottish and growing up I spent pretty much every holiday during my school years up in Scotland because I've got family that live up there too. It's very interesting sitting here being the British person that I am and watching two Americans have their take on it! Really entertaining and funny! Scotland is beautiful, always so much to do and explore x

Definitely visit Dean Village in Edinburgh. A unique beautiful place in the heart of the city.

I’m so glad you discovered Bobby. My childhood pet was a dog named after Grayfriar’s Bobby. I kept hoping you didn’t miss that. It is such a sweet story if you’re a dog person.

As a Scot. I'm happy to see this because I love Edinburgh

Love your enthusiasm and your observations are spot on. Glad you’re having such a great time.

I loved your Trainspotting episode very much , passed there many times in my younger days, and had a pint in the Black Bull Pub.

One of the happiest memories of my life is exploring the underground streets, Greyfriars graveyard and hidden alleys with my kids one Halloween night.

Recently started watching your videos on the UK (loving them by the way, they remind me how lucky I am) and then watched some of your earlier stuff. My mind is boggled! Love your curiousity and positivity. Keep exploring, you're an absolute joy.

OMG - I loved your Trainspotting homage 😂

Loving these videos & hearing your thoughts on British culture, architecture & culinary delights! Sadly, when you live in a place, you often forget to appreciate what's right on your doorstep. I spent my 30th birthday weekend in Edinburgh & we ended up _way_ too hung over to do any of the touristy bits. But such a great vibe & amazing people - as is standard in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😊

Love the trainspotting start

GREAT INTRO!! I love the architecture in Edinburgh too. I always say that it looks amazing in any weather. Sun, snow, clouds, rain, always atmospheric and gorgeous! So fun that you went to Deacon Brodies! I tried haggis there 😉

Hiii I work at Real Mary Kings Close and i am big fans of your channel! Sadly don't think I was working the day you visited. I sent your video to the team & we are delighted you had a great tour with us :). Really glad you feel like you learnt something from it and had a great trip to Edinburgh, I've lived in the city 3 years and am still absolutely amazed at it!!!!! Safe travels :)

Glad you are enjoying your trip! Sure you would enjoy a walk around Dean Village in Edinburgh. It's a residential area but very beautiful.

Loving your video's and glad you're enjoying your travels over here. I'm in The Kingdom of Fife, over the water when you were looking from upon high. Be well, cheers 🍻

First time subscriber. Great video. Edinburgh pronunciation was spot on.

I love your UK travel Vlogs - you really do take your time to explore and experience. I live in a medieval city - Exeter, which has underground passages. Even though I've lived here for the majority of my life, I still like to go underground and explore them every few years.

Yay! You finally did my home town. Manchester is the third biggest city in England so only enough time to scratch the surface; but you went to some great places. Please come to Leeds soon!

well done guys, very enjoyable, im jealous of that ice cream

I'm so surprised you didn't see The Last Drop, which was where the gallows used to sit in the Grassmarket, and also a great pub nearby.

I love Edinburgh, used to have to go up there regularly for work. Haven't been for a few years, but would happily go back as a tourist.

I’m so jealous of your underground tour!!! It was the one thing we didn’t have time for and I desperately wanted to go. So glad you got to go and enjoyed it! Cheers! Dara

I knew you would enjoy Edinburgh, this place is amazing, my home city. So happy you done the Marry King tour, done that a few years ago myself,and it was an eye opener. Yip took me that long even as a local. Tip from me to people who may visit in the future,do the Mary King tour, rather than the Castle. For your next visit to Edinburgh, visit the Zoo, go and see the Pandas, or for a freebie and as you like your views go up Arthur Seat. Enjoy the rest of Edinburgh and safe travels.

Great film guys xxx

Loved this vlog...and Edinburgh is just an amazing city. So many beautiful places in the UK, I'm lucky to live here, but also thankful I'm finally flying back to Florida next weekend! For some theme park fun. Like you guys, I just love different cultures and mooching around your supermarkets and trying different foods etc . Thanks for sharing your adventures, your such a lovely couple x

I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed Edinburgh🥰I’m born and bred in Edinburgh and my husband proposed at Edinburgh Castle. Then after we walked down to our favourite pub The Ensign Ewart!♥️I’m awfy proud of my hometown, it’s awfy Bonnie!♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿♥️

Fab video! I'm so pleased you made it to Mary's Milk Bar. The flavours are delicious! A trip to The Shore at Leith, & Stockbridge (& the Botanic Gardens) are also worth doing 🙂 During University term time the Grassmarket is usually rammed with students at the weekend (& quite often Hen & Stag parties!) locals tend to steer clear, & drink closer to home. There are some fairly historic bars though! So glad you had a great time xx

Edinburgh is beautiful and historic. One of our favourite places! Did you stay at Prestonfield House? We ate in their restaurant (Rhubarb) and it was so special.

Aha! Our town! Been looking forward to this!

Looks like an interesting place, seems you had a good time there. I've driven through Edinburgh several times but never stopped to have a look around, must get around to it one day. Generally speaking I think you get a much better impression of what a country is really like by visiting smaller towns and villages rather than the big cities. That's not just UK but certainly most countries I've ever visited. Really enjoying the vids of your trip.

Just discovered you guys last week when I was out sick and missing the UK and am thinking of going back. My Scottish friend is trying to get me to come stay in Scotland for awhile, specifically in Glasgow..so I love seeing these!! I'd love to see more of the types of food that are different from England. Can't wait for more videos!!! 😊

Next you need to go to Săpânța in Romania and check out the 'merry cemetery' there as well.

Hey how are you both .... Great video ..... Got suggestions for you try York very old bulidings etc

There is so much to see in Edinburgh. The Castle alone is a full day out, then you have Holyrood Palace, HMY Britannia, Mary King's Close, Gladstone's Land... yeah I love Edinburgh.

Great travel video 😊 I was just in Edinburgh over the summer, but didn’t do the castle….just a nice view from Ross Fountain in the Princes Street Gardens. Thanks for sharing your adventure 😊

Great video. Lovely couple.

I live in West Wales and I have seen a number of Americans visiting the UK, they go to Bath, Scotland, York and of course London but I have not seen one where they visit Wales, there is so much to enjoy here, Cardiff Bay is fabulous, Swansea Gower coast and the jewel harbour town of Tenby in Pembrokshire. The Jurassic coastline of Pembrokshire is stunning for walks.

You are vastly entertaining. Thank you.

Looks like you stayed in the Motel One. I stayed there one time and yes those stairs are a killer!

The Cemetary is much better from 11:45pm when it's dark. We had a great time Investigating it. Underground Edinburgh is spooky and you can feel it within a short time of being there.

Wow, great share, thnaks

LOVE the Trainspotting intro!!

The Ensign Ewart was the first pub I visited in Edinburgh way back in the early 80's. I went back a few times. It's pronounced "ensign you-art"

Maybe people arrive later at Edinburgh Castle to see the gun salute at 1pm - but you can hear it everywhere!

Lived in Edinburgh as a child, and went back there for college and then stayed for many years. Thanks for pronouncing the city’s name correctly, most tourists mangle it!

Like the homage to 'trainspotting ' at the start

That was very enjoyable, thank you. I love the city but no longer live there, though do try to visit every year. Edinburgh has so much more than what you experienced, which is mainly the Old Town. The New Town is blocks of wonderful Georgian architecture and cobblestone streets leading down a long hill to the fabulous village of Stockbridge, though to get there first make your way to Moray Place and walk through to Ainslie Place and Randolph Crescent - the longest example of connected Georgian architecture in the world. From there turn right, walk a minute and you are on the Dean Bridge. Observe views from both sides before going down Bell's Brae, adjacent to the house at the near end of the bridge and going down into Dean Village. At the bottom of that hill, continue straight ahead between the buildings - do not go right and cross the bridge. The coolest view is had when going straight, which I only realised this year! Follow the walkway then cross the Water of Leith on the wee metal footbridge that takes you around the large red sandstone edifice that is Well Court, a former residence for working people. Then complete the circle by crossing over the stone bridge before turning left and walking under the Dean Bridge. Follow along about 10 minutes, go up the steps and keep left on the wee stone bridge before turning right on the street and carrying on following the water. This gets your to Stockbridge which is mainly to the left, though also interesting on the right with St. Stephen Street and Circus Lane (go up the lane and come back down the street)...lots of wee shops, eats etc. The building at the bridge with the clock tower offers fine pizza, with riverside alfresco dining, the the lower level Bailee pub at the near end of St. Stephen Street is a historical hang. Then follow the path alongside the pizza place and come up to road level a few minutes later on Glenogle Road. In addition to the large Glenogle Baths (with chimney) there is a series of short dead-end streets (the stop at the Water of Leith) lined with quaint two-floor buildings. Folk living downstairs enter from one side. Upstairs residents enter from the other. They both have gardens and need never see their neighbour. At the end of Glenogle Road, if you are up to it, turn left and walk a few minutes to the Royal Botanical Gardens. If you've run out of steam, turn right instead of left and walk back up the hill into the city centre. Go straight ahead or veer to the right up Brandon Terrance which leads to Dundas Street. This is a bit of a walk for some folk, but you can also cut it short by turning right at Stockbridge and heading up the hill. This is my fave place to take friends who visit the city - they absolutely love it. And hopefully you will too. I suggest you do a Google map tour to assess the suitability. I assure you that you will not be disappointed.

Welcome to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My sister went up to Scotland a few years ago and one of the things she saw was The Falkirk Wheel. Not a historical landmark, but none the less, an amazing sight. I think you can pay to go on a canal boat through the wheel. Definitely worth Googling to see what you think of it. I'm not sure there's another one in the entire UK.

Mary's Milk Bar is always first on my list when in Edinburgh. My favourites have been chili and also lavender.

Thank you for enjoying my home city. You guys are more than welcome.

I came across you when you were trying British sweets. I'm from Edinburgh and have never visited the castle in my 40 years living here. Try the pubic triangle. 😉. Always wanted to visit the states. My number 1 destination.

I like watching vids of what people think of my country. 'Tae see us as ithers see us'. Next time, best view of the castle is from the roof of the National Museum. I hope the rest of your trip was good. Looking forward to your vids. Take care. 😘

please come back to UK and do more videos!! Great content :)

a lot of people in Edinburgh tend to avoid the ensign ewart because they were refusing to serve soldiers which is strange considering its location beneath the castle, also if you ever come to Edinburgh again avoid eating on the royal mile when its tourist time because the prices are rediculous

I love watching your videos! If you haven't already I think you should make merchandise and coin it with your phrase "I like it", as you and Jeremy say it a lot when you enjoy British food/snacks and I think it's cute! 🤣❤️❤️

I did that tour years ago. It was great

It's refreshing to hear americans pronounce my capital property. Its lovely to see how much you loved it.

Really enjoy your videos. I must visit my country more.

I love your Trainspotting inspired intro 😂 and the fact you can pronounce Edinburgh!

That beginning was unexpected and brilliant.

HI TMG, I'd be interested to see the list of sites and restaurants you went to Edinburgh. Great job on this video!

Thomas Riddell (Tom Riddle from HP) is a distant relative. Most of my Scottish side of my family are buried there as they're from Edinburgh including my Dad recently.

Next time you're in Edinburgh, go check out Craigmillar Castle. Built in the 14th Century. It's a lot less of a tourist trap and has even better views.

I was there last week at the festival just where you were standing at the mile

Cemeteries, my sister lives in a house with a 1st floor (2nd floor U.S.) lounge. it overlooks an old cemetery in Plymouth Devon. Urban foxes, rabbits and birdlife including a breeding flock of feral parrots. Yes in the evening she has the most peaceful human neighbours.

Kudos on the Trainspotting intro. Well done. 👍

Interesting to see Alexander Monro mention as buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard .He was part of a family of successive generations that had connections to the Medical School in Edinburgh and indeed the founding of it. The Monros owned the property of Bearcrofts , Grangemouth which happens to be the farm where my mother was born , now sadly it is buried under the oil refinery there.

When used as a road name, 'Close' is pronounced as in 'close to you' as apposed to 'close the door'

I've never been to Scotland and Edinburgh castle looks amazing, But I love England And your videos of England are amazing, Actually I like all your videos

There's so many places in the UK worth visiting but perhaps not enough hours in your holiday. Some of my favourite places in England are Chester, Windsor and Chichester. Beautiful market town's with amazing cathedrals. Surrey is good for theme parks and parakeets. If you jump to Northern Ireland you'd need to visit the giant's causeway and Belfast. In Scotland there's the three cities Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen but you've also the rural and coastal towns and villages. Depending on which way you go will depend on what you'll see. Typically farming or fishing but most certainly industry. Some nice coastal towns in Scotland with history just like every place that exists really. Edinburgh's a great gem of Scotlands it's sad about what happened to grey friars Bobby a lovely warm but very sad film. Long after bobby's owner died he would not leave his owners graveside. Have a nice rest of your holiday and thanks for the videos. Your a lovely couple with great energy.

Loved the Trainspotting reference and the Decaon Brodie pub cellars are believed to be haunted ! 👌👍

OH MY GOD you guys were in my city!!!!! I'm from North Berwick, a wee town like half an hour from Edinburgh so I spent my formative years there (got the train to Edinburgh every week after school to go skateboarding) and lived there for many years all through my twenties, such an amazing city and I loved seeing you guys touring a place I'm so familiar with. Glad you enjoyed it! Where was that castle / hotel btw? X

Haha best start to the video ever! This is my city and glad you visited! Deacon Brodie was also hanged by the gallows that he made! I feel like Craigmillar castle is so much more interesting as well as Stirling castle is so much better. I'm not a fan of this castle! Holyrood palace is a good place to visit too! Love Greyfriars Bobby! I live about 10 mins away from the grass market! So glad you visited and enjoyed my city, come back soon ya hear!!

Just subbed you guy's, love the vid's

Next time you come, go beyond the city centre. Some of the best parts of the city are a little further. Try Leith Walk to the shore, just beyond the east end of princes street. Some of the best food.

Omg the Trainspotting throwback was awesome :) x

When you were at Greyfriars Kirkyard, did you look at the Mortsafes over some of the graves. These are cages over a grave to stop the grave robbers digging up the recently buried. Most famous of the 19th century grave robbers in Edinburgh were Burke and Hare.

that Trainspotting renactment was cute, hah ha😅

Nice videos 📹 I live In England- South Staffordshire . Literally addicted to your channel right now .

Edinburgh is the only place in the world where you can you up a flight of stairs while going downhill. For food, I recommend Oink to get a pig sandwich. Get there early though. They only do one pig a day and the place shuts when it's done. There's one at the bottom of the royal mile, and another on Victoria Street. For a walk, take the Water of Leith walkway through Dean Village, go under the bridge, and go up to the Gallery of Modern Art and see The Master of the Universe there.

Headstones - in other churchyards, the headstones have been moved and the graves stay where they were. Not sure if this applies to Greyfriars. The memorials seem too big. You found the famous statue of Greyfriars’ Bobby. The neighbours have quiet neighbours!

Loving the intro 🙌😂🤣😎🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The haggis, neaps and tatties at 2:10 looked good - but no comment??

The Ensign Ewart is named after a member of the Royal Scots Greys who captured a French Eagle at the Battle of Waterloo. The Eagle is on display in the regimental museum in Edinburgh Castle.

I'd suggest the train to Linlithgow - great Palace and Loch, there's an extinct volcano (Cockle Roy) above the town that's only a 5 minute walk and on a clear day you can see clear to Berwick and across to Stirling & the Trossachs - then, if you have the time a canal boat trip to the Falkirk Wheel. (Falkirk home of Irn Bru, Red Telephone Boxes & Cannons - Carron Ironworks) Next would be Stirling and across the Forth to Culross and then to Anstruther (and it's award winning chip shop - you really need to try an actual take-away chip shop) on the coast and back to Edinburgh across the bridges.

Fun fact about the old city tour. When they were talking about the plague I coughed, and they improvised and said it was spreading, Oooo~ Then I mysteriously vanish...because I had to rush off to catch a train xD

Watch the Classic Film "Greyfriar's Bobby" Very sad, but a great film.

Aw Mary Kings Close is a brilliant tour. Dud you get a souvenir photo taken? Also exploring the underground Vaults is good. We did a ghost tour there years ago.. at Xmas they also put on a great Xmas Market in Princes st. Gardens. The Royal art gallery is free and worth a look as well

Love Edinburgh. My grandad's second cousin sorry don't know what that makes him to me was the famous Scottish actor Andrew Cruickshank famous for the TV show Doctor Findlays case book. He was in the film Grayfriers Bobby.
