We loved our time in Abeyhill, but there's lots more to visit in Edinburgh! Where would you like us to go next? :)

@aprilsmith1166 Год назад

@Simon Mountney How about Newhaven, perhaps combining it with Granton? I'm thinking that might be interesting as the tram extension will soon be completed to Newhaven and Granton is undergoing a redevelopment so I feel people will be curious to know what's there and tempted to visit.

Read about James Tytler who lived in a large house where Tytler Gardens is, he was the first person in the UK to fly a hot air balloon, his first attempt went very wrong. He also co-wrote the encyclopedia among many other crazy things he did. You can see some of the statues from his garden in the walls of Waverly park (street). Look up past the modern buildings on the left. One of them is Chopin the Polish composer, (who lived on warriston crescent for a short time back in the 19th century). The video actually starts at the arts quarter where they have painted a mural of Tytler's hot air balloon.

@Zamode68 Год назад

These are really great videos, I often find myself pausing and going through the map to check what’s around and where things are. It just makes me wish a bit more that I lived there ! I think it’s definitely good to accentuate, though, there’s more to Edinburgh than the Royal Mile for tourists.

@Kakibot Год назад

I remember watching Eat Your Kimchi neighbourhood guides back in the days, and how they led me to places in Seoul that I probably wouldn't visit otherwise - Edinburgh is obviously a lot smaller and more easy to explore, but it always surprises me how certain areas fly under the radar. And I think we'll only be delving deeper into the lesser known areas in the future!

Last year we stayed at Royal Terrace for the first half of our honeymoon (second half was Skye!) and wandered a bit in Abbeyhill too, it's gorgeous! The Regent is a really cozy and cute place with good cider, we loved it too :) You just made my day - it's cold and windy here in Hungary now, and I'm a bit sick - much better! Thank you Kat :)

@Kakibot Год назад

Glad this video could give you 20 minutes of distraction from feeling under the weather! Hope you’re better soon!

Thank you! Things will only get easier and more fun to shoot as summer rolls in! .)

@tmlrnz Год назад

Last summer we stayed at a place just off Abbey Lane and the A1. Absolutely loved that area! So glad you noted the Red Kite cafe because that was where we had breakfast on day one. Such a great place. We also like to get reusable shopping bags from stores we visit, so we brought a couple of bags back from Sainsbury’s at the Meadowbank. Thanks for this video!

This is great, I've been walking around the area recently and it has come up a lot in terms of cafes, independent shops, etc.

Perfect, I am staying in Meadow bank right now ! I am trying all these places. Yay

@Kakibot Год назад

Jealous! Will need to know which ones have become your favourites!

@deborahsolimine5438 Год назад

LOVED this one Kat! I think I walked trough some of these places when I decided to walk from the city center down to Portobello Beach! It was nice to see a different part of the city! 🤗

@Kakibot Год назад

That’s quite the walk! Abbeyhill is a good last coffee pit stop before embarking on a beach journey like that isn’t it!

@katem4365 Год назад

I enjoyed this video as I like neighbourhoods that are not inundated w tourists. Thank you!

@aprilsmith1166 Год назад

A lovely video! Thank you so much! Although Bruntsfield has very fond memories for me I know nothing about Abbeyhill and am so impressed by what you've shown us! I never realized there were so many independent eateries! I associate Meadowbank with the sports centre and shopping precinct but not a lot else so this video has been a real eye opener! And I love the night shots! So atmospheric! Thanks again! 🤗

So glad you enjoyed it and hopefully got inspired to explore the area! .)

@sandybutton243 Год назад

Last November I stayed at West Norton Place - beside this new building site at Montrose Terrace. To fell in love for this area was really hard for me .. 😂 There were constant noise the whole stay, and I left the apartment as often and long I could. 🤪 But some day in the future I would give it another try.

@Kakibot Год назад

Yes unfortunately Abbeyhill can be both picturesque and small neighbourhoodsy but also a total student accommodation development nightmare! In our last flat in the area, we "lucked out" and ended up living right next to a massive development for about 3 out of 5 years 🥲

A Lidl is being added to the Meadowbank shopping centre. In a couple of the units vacated by TK Maxx.

I love this! My husband and I are wanting to move to Edinburgh and I'd like to know about Stockbridge. Also if you could do a video about the latin places or community in Edinburgh that would be great; I'm Colombian and my husband is British so I'm scared I'll feel super lonely there. Thank you so much for your content! I really like it :)

@Kakibot 10 месяцев назад

Stockbridge is next on the list! Unfortunately these videos are super time and money demanding so it’s taking me a long time to get it together 🫥 but I’m hoping to have it out sometime in September.)

Hey there busy bee! Great content and we are loving the Bee Role in this video! Next time you are in the neighbourhood you should pop into our little shop, We're only 2 minutes from Support the Makers!

Hiii! I’m so sorry I didn’t make it all the way down to yours! I’m sure I’ll be able to sneak you into one of my future videos because your honey is THE BEST! Still got some hot toddy honey stashed away from Christmas!

@lyndaburns2725 Год назад

I’ve been to Abbeyhill/Easter Road a lot but today we walked down there again and went into Red Kite for coffee. Coffee itself didn’t blow me away but the vegan cookie was amazing. I wondered though why you didn’t review the Safari Lounge as it was one of the first “hipster” places to open in the area?

@keios Год назад

One thing you missed! If you take the footpath behind the big Sainsbury's, you'll come across the new(ish) premises for Edinburgh Tool Library. A great little resource for all of the tools you really need maybe once every couple of years.

@Kakibot Год назад

Huh! That’s a cool tip! I always thought the tool library was Leith based!

Wish I could go to these places but it'd break the bank just buying the bus ticket these days nevermind actually going to Edinburgh.

@Aoi_Fans Год назад

Nice video, but a little bit of constructive criticism. 0:12 - "Hard to pinpoint & We weren't too sure where to start" Abbeyhill got it's name due to it's proximity to Holyrood Abbey. Starting the video in front of the Abbey and then walking along the various "Abbey" named streets would be logical.

@linelafrance2937 Год назад

I rent a room in Abeyhill, can you suggest me places for a good tea ? I do not drink coffee ;) thank

@Kakibot Год назад

Hmmmmm I think places like Red Kite and Art & vintage will be able to cater to your tea needs! I know Red Kite stocks tea from Rosevear, who are a great little local tea brand. Personally I love the milky oolong - tastes like white tea, smells like condensed milk! ☕️
