Fantastic! I can't wait to visit this beautiful city
Shout out from June Grant in NZ born in Edinburgh played as a kid in and out all those areas as we lived in Johnston Terrace opposite the Castle. Been in NZ for 36 years and visit the Auld Toon when I can. Sitting in bed with a cup of tea watching your guided tours is fantastic. Thanks so much.❤
Absolutely loved this and would highly recommend it. I live only 30 minutes away from Edinburgh and I still learned a lot 😃
Absolutely loved this video!!!! Amazing explanation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I thought Kirk meant church , not Scotland ?
You went a ways around the George Bryce historical notice. Didn't you think that story worth sharing?
I have read that Lawnmarket is called like this because of Land market which took place here - people sell products from the land - milk, butter, etc. as well as cloth, linen and yarn. Never heard of drying stuff here. From where water was taken in those times? Which version is correct?
The Hub is NOT the highest building in Edinburgh! Maybe in the Old Town, but not in entire city. The highest is St Mary's Episcopal Church!
Thank you ❤
casually dropping a what's in my sporran. slay
During the 17c my ggggparents lived in Edinburgh. I had their address and wanted to see what it looked like. Sadly it had been knocked down during the building of Edinburgh University, more than likely as an add on to the University, which is very old anyway. The area was called Mahogany Land. I was very happy that it was the Student Union building. With all the other addresses I had the buildings were still remaining. I was born in a little village just outside Edinburgh. Funny he should mention ER11, if you look at the verses of 'God save the Queen' the 7th verse is all about 'slaughtering all Scot's'. No wonder the Scottish don't like her. Hypocritical of her to spend her holidays there.
can we plz get mor Glasgow? uwu
Me and my mate are taking a trip up from Leeds to have a pissup. Last time Scots Police were GREAT!!! They even provided a towel to clear up the puke, What more can a Yorkshireman ask for..Went to see that Brass dog in Black Fryers. Took us ages to find it. We were looking for Ainsley Harriot. In the end we were told not to touch its nose so I wiped its Arse with a tissue.
Wonderful series. It will help a lot for my visit. Sorry but, it could be better without all the call outs.
Was wondering if you would point out the burial site of John Knox in the car park but it looks like the surrounding architecture took priority which is understandable.
Scots, how did you come to such a life that you have a minister of health, a certain Hamza Yusuf? You forgot about Culloden.
What tartan is that you've got on?
Thanks for the question. Joe is wearing the Gunn tartan.
Even though I live in Edinburgh I love the tours ❤️
Thank you, great to know and glad you are enjoying them.
Awesome video u get two👍👍 up ..
Just watched Nov 2021 visit to St. Giles. Mother (1912) and many generations before from Paisley. I was born in America. Finally had lengthy visit past September. Your marvelous virtual tours are filling in and reminding me of all that I loved in Scotland. Proud to be dual citizen.Looking to watch all of your tours til I return....and hopefully meet you both!
Thank you PJ for the comment. We love what we do and Scotland is so amazing to guide. We are looking to produce more virtual tours both on Facebook : Piping SCOT Tours page and UA-cam live. Best wishes from Edinburgh.
One of my son's live in Edinburgh the other just outside.Have learned a lot.
Thank you for your comment Malcolm and glad you found this video informative.
Hello Joe and Mike thanks for information from Edinburgh.
I just love hearing the old stories and love the architecture and the ally ways
Wonderful walking in Edinburgh Old Town
Thank you Explore Earth. We love bringing Scotland to the world. 🏴
Such wonderful city for nice walk everyday
Explore Golgumbaz
This is all very nice and interesting. I just wonder, why you have not mentioned about Gen. Maczek bench which is located in City Chambers courtyard? And why you didn't tell anything about his amazing story and his connections with Edinburgh? As well as many other polish soldiers who stayed here in Edinburgh and Scotland after WWII?
Thanks Gentlemen, great watch alongside a good Historical perspective. Regards & best wishes from East Dunbartonshire.
Thank you and glad you are enjoying the tours. All the best.
Seriously, a mask and hand sanitizer? :(
Yes this was in the early days of covid before vaccinations

My maiden name is Dean. I'm always drawn to places in "the Mother Country," that bear my last name. I hope to visit someday...

Thank you for the comment. Edinburgh is such a great place to guide 😊😊
ua-cam.com/video/_O0V4D1sbFw/v-deo.html This is a great literary tour for book lovers!
What a wonderful and productive 44 minutes. Loved every bit of it. I have been staying in the city for the last few years and visited all these places and today they became really meaningful. Subscribed straight away.
Thank you for the comment. We love what we do and glad you enjoyed it also. Joe and Mike
You are soooo cute!!
When he said "Cock fighting" I was like "What....?!" And the most ankward mental pictures came go my mind... Then I realised what he actually meant and I was like "Oh...."😆😆😅
Having zoomed in, it looks like it is a piglet the hawk is carrying, not a mouse.
Thank you. We must have a closer look next time. Maybe you would like to subscribe to our UA-cam channel to see more of our tours. Enjoy. Joe and Mike 🙂🙂
i hope to visit one day all the best x
Thank you for the comment. Hope you manage to come over. We have such a great country to visit.
Great informative video...never been to Scotland must go one day as my paternal grandparents were Scottish.... always looks so cold though...
Hi Cherie, thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the virtual tour. You have got to come to Scotland especially with your family connections. All the best, Mike and Joe.
Hej Joe and Mike I enjoyed very much your guide. Thank you for sharing. (Denmark)
Thank you Uni. Glad you enjoyed our virtual tour and thanks for commenting. Hope you will subscribe to our channel. We love what we do. Best regards from Edinburgh. Joe and Mike
Sometimes it is just difficult to find the right way to comment,even if i am a person who finds it most delightful when there are ways to be found to present past times with present times,making a uniqe coming up.
And your pleasant way of descrybing to the present time.
What a interesting historytour!
no you do not have to wear a face nappie , unless you a sheep
Soon as he showed what was in his sporran I stopped watching.
I miss Edinburgh every day in my life. Trying to get back to you if I get a job in Edinburgh.
Love this. I’m obsessed with Edinburgh. Hope to be there before I leave this world. I have 2 brain aneurysms. I’ve told my husband to get me there after I’m gone if I can’t get there before. ♥️
I would go to English language school located on The Royal Mile. I wanted to go further study for Edinburgh university and get involved in the tourism industry like you doing now. Unfortunately it didn't come true with my health condition. Now I"m qualified to be a tour guide for foreign tourists in Japan. I'm learning how to guide from you. Your technique is authentic. I'm so glad to know about the origin of the loo😂
Absolutely brilliant. Loved this a lot. Just one critique, please try and hold the camera more steady when possible. Quite hard to watch at times. Cheers!
Thank you for the comment and advice. We are improving as we go. Glad you enjoyed it.
