    I think the last review was tongue in cheek and a back handed compliment as to all the crap that isn't up there!

    I love it when you do these vids Tony as they're very funny. I think some of those bad reviewers must walk around with their eyes shut as Edinburgh is such a beautiful city and Calton Hill is spectacular.

    I LOVED visiting the hill. The view from the Nelson Monument is outstanding! Thanks for the laughs Tony. 👍❤️

    People complaining about the weather reminds me of an old Billy Connolly bit where he said, "People tell me they went to Scotland and it rained. 'Of course it ****ing rained!!" Rain or sun, it looks pretty amazing to me!

    Edinburgh is the most beautiful city on planet Earth. People who can't appreciate that might just clear off to somewhere else. The city will be more fair without them.

    I visited Edinburgh in March this year and this is one of many places in Edinburgh with spectacular views. I was lucky with the weather though 😃

    Don’t know if some of the reviews weren’t jokes or sarcasm. Beautiful views, monuments and buildings from what I saw in the video. Hope to get there one day. Enjoyed watching this.

  • @allysonrollitt210

    In my humble opinion I think the best views of Edinburgh are from Calton Hill. It’s brilliant up there…. Love it. Thanks for another great video x

  • @edinburghandbeyond
    @edinburghandbeyond 2 роки тому +3

    You can park up there mate it's ment to just be for disabled badge holders I recommend taxi as you said and people that are fit enough take the stairs or take the smother route but longer way so 3 ways to get up the hill 😉 it's a good place to get ur drone up aswell

    'Not like the view?!
    ..look at the New Town, the bridges, Leith..where did you look?
    What are we up here for, all I can see is ground!
    How did they not appreciate that view?
    Look at Edinburgh castle from here!
    It's a boring, hilly-hill'
    I love Calton Hill, a stupendous 'new view' of Edinburgh, that is not from the Castle or Arthur's Seat 💙

    If Calton Hill could speak I wonder how it would review these reviewers. “Just enjoying my view, talking to my mate the castle one day, when a few muppets started climbing me…”

    When I was in Edinburgh in August this year and I went up Calton Hill it was pouring down and I was really winded when I reached the top (not being on the slim side). But even in the rain I could see the Forth, the Castle and Easter Road Stadium (walked there in the rain too). So really cannot understand the bad reviews but now had a good laugh with you commenting on them.

  • @sandiandgregh

    We loved the walk up Calton Hill and the view. We were there last September and I had recently recovered from a knee injury. I was so happy to be able to do the walk (and my knee survived!) as I knew Arthur's Seat was not achievable for me at that point. Beautiful clear day. Lovely view.

  • @mapesdhs597
    @mapesdhs597 2 роки тому +2

    Graveyards are full of people who'd love to be able to stand on Calton Hill in the rain...
    Not been up that hill for a fair while, must do so again some time. It was great up there way back during the partial eclipse, was very impressed with just how many made the effort to get the views.

  • @gcooper642
    @gcooper642 2 роки тому +3

    These people have all gone up the steep side. It's really steep. I have M.E. and wasn't expecting that climb. However, I did enjoy the view very much. If you visit and you're not fit, it's best going up the steps from the A1, rather than Royal Terrace. That's my preferred route now. Plus you might get parked for free on a Saturday.

  • @scottluterotty9923
    @scottluterotty9923 2 роки тому

    I LOVED it, , but then, I had the place all to myself. I'm in my 60's, over weight, out of shape, and traveling solo. But I had the place all to myself. A trek up Arthurs Seat the day before, so fresh blisters from my new climbing boots. But I had the place all to myself. My second day with Covid (though didn't know it at the time), made me a bit winded. But I had the place all to myself. I'm a 'sturdy' guy, but the wind pushed me back several times. Felt like my face was being sand blasted, but that was just the hail, or very sharp rain. But I had the place all to myself. The date - Sept 30, '22. The ferries were off. The bins on Prices Street were full of inside-out brolly's (umbrellas). Streets were littered with loose signs and even more than one storefront window glass. St Andrews Square "Closed Due to High Winds' But I had Calton Hill all to myself. And I'm very much looking forward to visiting again, , , even if I have to share it with others

    My favourite place to go in Edinburgh. Rain, hail,sleet, or snow I always go to Calton Hill. The views are spectacular ( weather permitting), especially across to ma hame in Fife

    Your videos were so helpful preparing me for my first visit to Edinburgh. I loved the city and had a wonderful time. Keep up the good work it is appreciated. Cheers

    You can get a cab? Lol I have been standing right where you are standing on my visit and can I say the views were outstanding! And I am not a 'fit' person and the stairs were not an issue. Yes, there are stairs, no mountain climbing necessary 😳 Can't wait to do it again. There are just people who need to complain 🤷🏻‍♀️ I appreciate the laughs!

    How could anyone say there is no view? It's beautiful! I hope one day to be there in person. If you aren't fit find a different way to go. I also don't want Starbucks or a burger joint there when I go.

    HiTony it looks beautiful to me, the architecture, views. It does not get much better than this. Maybe I’m easily impressed or the folks with the negative comments think of themselves as intellectual giants but in reality are emotionally dwarfs with lack of aesthetic.

    Some visitors better stay in their hotel room. Some visitors better stay in valleys. Some visitors better stay indoors. Some visitors better stay in their birthplace.
    Edinburgh, and the whole of Scotland are unique because of their spectacular views, the rough weather, their great food.
    Edinburg will never become Las Edinburgh, or Edinburgh Brava or Edinburgh Del Sol.
    Go walk up that hill, fighting the cold, the wind, the rain. And get a wee dram once you're in a pub. When you're hungry, eat a haggis.
    Love it, or book a holiday in your own house. It should have the luxury that a moaner is looking for.

    I had to laugh. Who doesn't or wouldn't love Calton Hill? Just silly talk! I like the "disgrace" personally. I think it looks like a great place for a photo opp without the burden of an entire building to keep up with. LOL

    These people are crazy! 🤣🤣 If you are basing your fun and interest of where you are on weather alone, then maybe Scotland should be removed from your bucket list. Weather is so bipolar in Scotland 🤣. If they want food after climbing that "hilly hill" there was a great little pop-up when we were there that had some great sweet treats and drinks (non-alcoholic). No views? Seriously? These people had to have had blinders on! The views on Calton Hill are beautiful! Yes, it was a climb to get up there. Yes, it was tiring climbing that hill. If you need a break, take one. Or take your break when you get to the top and enjoy the view while doing so. Some people.....i just don't get it
