Hi Ed. Hope you do stay and continue your donders for us. We love your videos, it keeps us going til we get back up to Scotland! Appreciate the work you put in. Tale care, all the best.
Just along the road from me, im in Rosyth and go to Limekilns frequently with the dog, beautiful wee place. The whole of Dunfermline and surrounding areas are absolutely steeped in Scottish history 👍
Always enjoy your videos whether it's country walk or a bit of history, clearly you put a lot of work into them. Hopefully you keep going, but do what's best for you, all the best 🍻
I dont want to live in a world with no Ed videos! You do whats best for you, but I always like to watch your videos, and hear your choice of pie, beer and scenery.
I snore Ed and my wife complains. When the cat does it she thinks it's cute and calls it purring! Kepp snoring Ed, it's your devine right, and keep making your videos as they're are well received.
I loved the walk Eddy. It was in no way mediocre! Hopefully you'll continue your epic adventures for as long as you are able. I liked this one you "just made up". The mix of scenery from shore to trail to town was a perfect choice. The flowers are gorgeous and just seeing the water is lovely. Stay well and safe. Lynn in Naples FL 😎
Ed, yet another great video and comments along the way. You had me in fits of laughter talking about Sticky Willies and then when you went on to mention a replacement for zips well that did it....great. Keep the videos coming and your music. All the Best
@@EdExploresScotland You are welcome Ed. It's no wonder you are tired at the end of a walk. We all know that if you say it's an 8 mile walk, you will do at least 50% what with setting up cameras shots etc.
Hope you stay inspired to continue making your videos Ed. They are a breath of fresh air to many people & uniquely made. You go at a gentle pace & shine lights on parts of Scotland that are never seen on mainstream media. Brilliant Stuff. 🫡🫡🫡
Awww please keep going for wee daunders and filming them! My partner and I always look out for a new video from you every week, and enjoy watching them! We try to guess whether you'll munch a pie, a bridie or a sandwich :) learned loads and seen places we'd like to visit. Hoping you upload many more!
Went to dunfermline recently with the kids. Alot to do there. Took the kids to the abbey and enjoyed a walk through that very park. At the end of the day enjoyed a few beers in the sun. Perfect! Good video edd keep it up!
@@EdExploresScotland i know youre struggling with some of the longer walks but keep going eddy and keep the chin up! If its easier for you im sure everyone would still like you talking to camera about interesting history or topics even from your house! Id like to see you cooking again as well ;) You are a natural in front of the camera with great editing skills and fantastic music. We would all miss your videos. A hidden gem of youtube👍
@@EdExploresScotland glad to hear it- i was going to suggest if you might want to do a viewer meet at a pub sometime in glasgow. It would be good to meet you. Maybe not your bag but just an idea as alot of other youtubers do it👍
Enjoyed your wee donder. Hope you don't stop making the videos. Have you thought of doing some videos about the parks around Glasgow. I would love to know the history behind them. Wouldn't mind joining you.
Never commented on your videos before. Long time watcher. I have learned so much from your posts. Love yer patter and rants . I hope the spark still burns and you keep up the good work. All the best. Ian
Hello There! We hope you continue to make your videos, we enjoy them very much and they've inspired us to plan a trip next year! We also enjoy your music. All the best to you.
I love your videos! Me and my husband are visiting Scotland in 2025 and I haven’t quite decided where to go yet. I want to see the Isles and I also want to see to see the beautiful highlands. I’m a hiker bit my husband has a bad knee. 😢 I WILL be doing some hiking.
Thank you. Always difficult deciding where to go and what to see with so much beautiful countryside around. Top tip: don't try to see and do too much - you just end up rushing around and seeing very little. Enjoy it when it comes.
Ed, I do very much hope you will continue with your wonderful videos. I too learn many new things in each presentation. That being said, I do agree you should follow what is best for you! May your journeys bring happiness and beauty always to you!!
Ed, love the videos, walks as well as historical, plus love the pies your eating! They always look so delicious. Keep up the great work! Thank you for doing them
You do some decent stuff Ed. And you show us parts of the Country that certainly I have not seen, nor do you often see it in main stream tv either. Keep at it as your films are inspiring . All the best Andy
Hi Ed, as a late ( found you about 18 months ago) my elder brother ( 67 & 68) think ALL the video's you have made from the shortest to the longest whether Ed's thoughts, walks or annoyances are all marvelous- there has to be an award for what you have done. Clearly, latterly there may be future difficulties in doing as you wish, and we certainly realise the huge amount of time to compile each vid. We will miss you if you are not there, but if your suggestion of " retiring" happen then all the best. However how about a weekly " rant" on life?( tbd - yours or all the obseration on " normal!( yeh right) others for 5-15 mins as a compromise. You have uplifted our lives enormously . A BIG THANK YOU❤ ❤
Well Ed I hope you keep making your videos. I've yet to see a comment to the contrary. UA-cam??? That's another matter altogether. I've seen many a Content Maker leave or been "eliminated" over the years. Love your "walks" and just returned from my own two week walk in Scotland. It really is the best way to see her.
Great to see another video by you Ed. That was a lovely sunny day for it. Now whenever I see a (rare) gorgeous day I sometimes think 'is Ed out filming someplace today?' Lots of lovely views in this one, and classic ED humour. I have to say that I've not had to put up with any ads whilst watching these films, because I have Ad Block Plus on my browser. It prevents any ads from showing. I don't know if that affects the revenue of the video-maker though.....Hmmm. I wonder if Vimeo is a better platform, but then I don't know a lot about the monetary benefits of that channel. Only that it's 'posher' than YT. Well now, if you're a 'terrible snorer', you'll just need to get better at it won't you ? 😂
Love your videos and your music Ed. Shown me a lot beyond sunny Barrhead, and you are obviously also a talented musician! …would love to do what you are doing. Great reason to get out and about, exploring!
Eddy, I hope that you continue posting whatever takes your fancy,whatever it may be. I like your walks and i also like the ones were you have told and showed us the history of our streets and buildings. What makes it different for me is your way of presenting. Your humour is great and will be missed if you stop doing these vids. Keep well Eddy.
Cracking as always. Here’s hoping you make many more. Can’t say I’ve watched all your videos so if you e been forgive me but there’s plenty out my way in renfrewshire outwith paisley that could be a source of inspiration
@@EdExploresScotland ah we all have that. It’s obvious how much work you put in but whenever there’s an ad mid video elsewhere I just wait 5 secs and ‘skip’
If your stopping videos you'll need to get someone else to make them for ye! New subscriber this year, was thinking you'd start a club 😂 What did you do work as uncle Ed?
Ed. Keep going, you would be very muched missed, if you gave up. You give me a lot of inspiration for my walks with my walking 🚶♂️ buddies every Thursday, since we all retired together. Also your humour is very good. Again Ed, don't give up. Richard from Rosyth. 😃 👌👌
An interesting walk Ed. I know most of the walk quite well. I no longer see any ads on UA-cam, as I pay for Premium each month. I've opted out of paying the TV licence, so it works out the same per annum. I wonder if they are trying to make the ads more annoying, hoping that more people will be driven to paying not to to see any. Great video.👍
It's a good area for walks. Turns out I've not properly read the new ad policy, and I will be able to choose whether to have ads in the middle of videos or not. All is not lost.
Hi Ed, sticky wullies on your shirt, as long as it didn'y go intae your belly button.I'm of the same opinion as all the other commenters, you'd be sadly missed if the videos stopped. I'm always amazed at the things I've passed for years and never realised what they were or meant. As for the snoring, your neighbours should be glad they don't have the neighbours my son lives above. Drinking the buckie all day and music blaring till two in the morning. Keep up the informative, educational and funny videos.
I have been watching your videos Ed. & although I have not yet got through them all ...I have a particular interest in the Ardeer/Irvine water fronts. There was 60 ft. High pile of slag waste from Irvine's iron workings heritage but alas like many things it was levelled & re- landscaped to appear visually more appealing as. The Magnum Leisure Centre was opened in the mid 1970's ...from conversations I have had with older locals . there exist Rabbits & Hares in old mine workings /burrows etc with BLUE Fur from some kind of waste underground from a by product of iron smelting...I have never seen these blue tinged animals personally ed. But others have ....What I can confirm is the abundance of various sizes of Deer ....clearly visible looking across the old Ardeer explosives works ....hence the name AR...DEER! My late gran worked there producing cordite ..during ww2 ....& as a small annecdote ....she used to bring small pieces home to light the coal fire ....keep up your videos & I look forward to your next uploads ...& I really like the background music ...however sad I may sound ....it's poignant to remember those times ...your upload of the removal of Waverly station ticket booth particularly..reminded me of the skill sets our fore fathers & mother's possessed ....just for modernity to destruct it ..without a care at all
@@EdExploresScotland if not a little dangerous ed. It's a shame that the Former Ardeer peninsula is being stripped of its natural resources..Namely sand extraction by greedy companies...who would rather make a profit over returning the area to its natural state where there are quite good examples of rare flora & fauna. The massive concrete sea wall which extends for over 3.5 km & was built I believe to protect the sand dunes from erosion & possibly even protection from possible attack from the Germans in both world ears .It would need massive investment to repair the wall which is over 30 ft tall in places ...just like your clydeside ship building stories....it's a case of once an area has served its purpose...then the previous tenants ( namely ici & Nobel's ) just moved out with no thought into the future of the massive site ...as they had made their billions .

I am all for innovation ed..but only if the long term benefits out weigh any short term employment for an area .... especially Scotland where unemployment black spots are evident in many places .
Ed, must stay I second that I have watched since 🎥 video one I used to watch weirs way & fife Robertson many 🌙 moons ago and in my opinion Ed your better than both of them put together and I honestly mean that you should approach any t. v. company your videos are your c. v. And speak for themselves Don't give upon this you've a real perspective on things whether it be a walk or just talking in the house 🏠 all your videos are pure 🏆 gold some I watch twice in fact all am being 100% honest you have everything that make these videos really great and you have real personality & perspective never give up your valued more than you'll ever know best wishes Ed...
Well everyone deserves their retirement, but if thats going to be it then you will need to go out in style, maybe a three pie walk somewhere, meanwhile will keep enjoying the videos and music
Yes, a 3-pie walk sounds good. I think they call it burn-out, where you run out of ideas and aren't sure where to take the channel. Just a bit of Autumn blues I suspect. Not gone yet.
@@EdExploresScotland ok kiddo! Am as auld well cupla years yunger than u old man! Retire Dec 27th! 😵💫 look forward tae yer vids. Only fun ye this year! Soz bout that butav cot up! 🤣🤘🏻🏴
You sound a bit down Ed, you might need to have a little break..think things over. Come back fresh with new ideas or just jack it in and go. I will miss the music ,the country walks and your lovely sense of humour.. You do whats best for you....I wish you well on what choice you make.
You know Colin, I think you're right. I've Googled both. All my life, since childhood, I've been calling Burdock Burs Sticky Willies. How can that have happened? Is there anyone else out there who has this mistaken belief? What on earth were they teaching us kids in Partick in the 1960s? Thank you.
Watch your videos mostly for your dry wit and pleasing personality but enjoy the content greatly. Would be tragic if you stopped. Maybe get sponsorede by pie and beer companies and reduce the strenuous walks.
I got it wrong with the ads. UA-camrs will still be able to choose whether or not to have ads mid-video. As another comment said, with UA-cam Premium you can turn the ads off, which sounds like a great idea.
Hi Ed. Hope you do stay and continue your donders for us. We love your videos, it keeps us going til we get back up to Scotland! Appreciate the work you put in. Tale care, all the best.
Many thanks. Lots of videos still to some. 👍
Just along the road from me, im in Rosyth and go to Limekilns frequently with the dog, beautiful wee place. The whole of Dunfermline and surrounding areas are absolutely steeped in Scottish history 👍
Hi Ryan. Yes, it's lovely area. I'm liking your own videos; drone footage and music seem to go together particularly well.
Just a wee token of gratitude xXx
Thank you.
Always enjoy your videos whether it's country walk or a bit of history, clearly you put a lot of work into them. Hopefully you keep going, but do what's best for you, all the best 🍻
Thanks David. Just one of those days. Many more videos to come. 👍
Great vids well made and informative always enjoy keep it going ed
Thanks 👍
I dont want to live in a world with no Ed videos! You do whats best for you, but I always like to watch your videos, and hear your choice of pie, beer and scenery.
Cheers Zeinno. Just a moody Autumn day. Many more videos to come. 👍
I like your videos. Keep making and posting. Visit Dumbarton and Balloch area. Much more places to explore there.
Many thanks. Still got a good bit of exploring left in me.
I snore Ed and my wife complains. When the cat does it she thinks it's cute and calls it purring!
Kepp snoring Ed, it's your devine right, and keep making your videos as they're are well received.
Cheers John. My purring's probably at 100dB. Lots more videos to come.
Enjoyed that Ed, hope you continue your journeys so we can follow... honesty is a fading virtue
Thank you. Probably just the onset of Autumn blues. I'll be around for a good while yet.

Hi Ed, as a late ( found you about 18 months ago) my elder brother ( 67 & 68) think ALL the video's you have made from the shortest to the longest whether Ed's thoughts, walks or annoyances are all marvelous- there has to be an award for what you have done.
Clearly, latterly there may be future difficulties in doing as you wish, and we certainly realise the huge amount of time to compile each vid.
We will miss you if you are not there, but if your suggestion of " retiring" happen then all the best.
However how about a weekly " rant" on life?( tbd - yours or all the obseration on " normal!( yeh right) others for 5-15 mins as a compromise.
You have uplifted our lives enormously .
A BIG THANK YOU❤ ❤
Thanks for that Roger. I got it wrong re the adverts thing, so I'll be carrying on for the foreseeable future. All the best.

I will miss the music ,the country walks and your lovely sense of humour..
You do whats best for you....I wish you well on what choice you make.
The mood falls with the leaves of Autumn. Many more videos to come.
Nothin mediocre about the Kingdom.
I’m questioning your botany . I thought sticky Willie was cleavers but they looked like burdock burs .
You know Colin, I think you're right. I've Googled both. All my life, since childhood, I've been calling Burdock Burs Sticky Willies. How can that have happened? Is there anyone else out there who has this mistaken belief? What on earth were they teaching us kids in Partick in the 1960s? Thank you.

Watch your videos mostly for your dry wit and pleasing personality but enjoy the content greatly. Would be tragic if you stopped. Maybe get sponsorede by pie and beer companies and reduce the strenuous walks.
Many thanks. I like the sound of pie and beer sponsorship, and will certainly cut down on distances. I'll be around for a good while yet.
UA-cam is slowly dying , to be honest with all the adds im not watching as much as before.
I got it wrong with the ads. UA-camrs will still be able to choose whether or not to have ads mid-video. As another comment said, with UA-cam Premium you can turn the ads off, which sounds like a great idea.
