Excellent selection. I used to live behind Circus Lane in Stockbridge. I used to get a real kick just wandering around the area enjoying its beauty. I never took it for granted.
Hidden gems.... Loved my visit to Dean Village... If you turn right by the bridge in Dean Village and follow the river for about a few hundred yards you come to the arches of Dean Bridge and there is a low wall there with a beautiful view looking back up the river.
My second hidden gem would be The Miss Jean Brodie Steps... So many people walk past them heading up towards the castle via Johnstone Terrace that they miss them.. The view of the castle from the top is worth the climb unless you come via The Vennel.
My third hidden gem is Ramsey Gardens... Just below the Castle, opposite the Witchery you go down Ramsey Lane and its on the left.. Hanging baskets, flower pots there's even black iron stairs too...
Thank you for your hidden gems! Exactly what I was looking for. I've got numerous guide books which basically tell me the same things over & over. Can't wait to see your beautiful city next May. Bring on more videos :)
Very nice! I was in Edinburgh in the early 70s, but I was a young man then, and wasn`t really interested in those "gems". It would be nice to see those in person. When I was there, I visited Edinburgh Castle and was amazed to see the life-sized portraits. These were pictures I had seen in my history books.
Enjoyed your videos a lot. I was born and raised in Edinburgh. At least until my Three Years in the British Army. Mostly spent in Malta. Where I was spoiled by all that sunshine and the Mediterranean Sea. I only stayed three years, after leaving the Army Then Emigrated to a much warmer climate. Los Angeles, California. But I never lost my love for my old City. Seeing it now, takes my breath away. Still the same, but oh, what changes. But it’s been 55 years, so not unexpected. But I love the changes and atmosphere there now. So thanks for the trip down memory lane. 🙂
I love the closes...I explored them a little while some of the family went souvenir shopping. I found a little pub that I took a few family members for lunch, and we all loved it. Halfway House was a tiny little place, but wow it was amazing.
The murals in the Portrait gallery are by William Hole who also did the murals in the City Chambers.. another hidden gem! I would also add the Parliament Hall behind St Giles and the Anatomy theatre in the Medical School. Always watch for Open Doors Day in Edinburgh (usually in September) when many amazing buildings are open to the public...
Cool, was born in Edinburgh and lived most of my life in and around it, and I never knew you could get into the RBS bank building! Cheers for that! And agree with all the others too though would have included Botanics but yeah, I s'pose not exactly hidden.....
You asked for hidden Gems, Edinburgh's most hidden village is at Swanston, near Fairmilehead. After your walk, which you will definitely enjoy, try the Brasserie by the car park for some great food (or drinks) and some of the best views over the city.
The ceiling at 1:31 reminds me so much of the Ravenclaw Tower common room from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. "The Ravenclaw common room is one of the airiest rooms at Hogwarts. It is a wide, circular room with arched windows hung with blue and bronze silks and a midnight blue carpet covered in stars, which is reflected onto the domed ceiling". Will definitely have to see this when I'm in Edinburgh!
The ceiling inside the Dean well is something to behold...And in the centre of the floor sitting on a pedestal, a Grecian-vase...That's if it's not been nicked by some... CW.
You are so very right. The Water of Leith Walkway ist really a beautiful place. Been there yesterday and enjoyed it a lot! Sad though, that the part between Dean Bank and Dean Village is partly blocked due to landslide. Hope they fix that, though the gate does not give me high hopes... Keep up to good work! Was really an inspiration for me!
I really enjoy youtube videos! I'm a follower om Instagram aswell. I lived in Edinburgh for three months and enjoy being taken back to it through your accounts. I would really like a video where you'd tell more about yourself and your connection with Edinburgh and Scotland. Take care x.
Thank you so much for watching and following on Instagram! That's such a good idea for a video, keep an eye out as I hope to put that up either this or next week!
Hi. Thanks for your videos but I'd like to get some good piece of advice (if youhave some suggestion about it...) about the order to follow visiting the Castle of Edinburgh.Thanks for your help.
Cammo estate is an interesting place to visit past barnton hotel now a care home straight on to the left go down opening and there it is once there was a house but now ruins
Hi I really enjoy the way you produce your videos . I wonder if you give me some suggestions on how to reach Edinburgh on a budget from London - by train or bus or plane ? Which is the cheapest way?
Maybe you mentioned this previously, but for history buffs the cemetaries are gems, too, including the locked graves (mortsafes) in Greyfriars Kirkyard.
Почему всё со сметаной?! ПОЧЕМУ, ПОЧЕМУ, ПОТОМУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУУ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the world but one thing most of the buildings lack is colour. Too much white and grey especially when compared to Scandinavia and other parts of Europe.
None of these are “hidden” gems they are all literally within 10 minutes of the city centre, maybe explore beyond the city centre for “hidden” gems such as places like Leith, Newhaven, Granton, Muirhouse in the North or places in the South such as Inch or Gilmerton where real folk from Edinburgh stay
Excellent selection. I used to live behind Circus Lane in Stockbridge. I used to get a real kick just wandering around the area enjoying its beauty. I never took it for granted.
Thank you very much for these wonderful informations. Edinburgh is my favourite town in the world. Many greetings from Germany 🍁🍂🌾
Take care!
Really enjoyed that. The various Mews terraces at the Easter Road end of Royal Terrace are really lovely - a lot like Circus Lane.
I discovered the Royal Terrace mews in lockdown when the place seemed deserted. Magical part of town!

Sad to go back and all my memories have been replaced by university hihg

Hope you do this for other cities. So good to get tips like this and very nicely presented.
