I absolutely love your videos about the closes....Your videos make my inner history geek smile....😁
I walked the royal mile in 1975 and missed all thase wonderful places really enjoying your work
Those stairs are a rollerblading challenge if ever I saw one
I love this series so much. Watching you get winded makes me laugh because that how I felt our entire time in Edinburg. We are leaving tomorrow . I wish old of found your videos . “This is nice!” It is such a beautiful city and I love the knowledge that Edinburgh is famous for Parrots in a baskets! Haha.
Stunning ❤
I geek out over auld buildings and history ,Tony it's completely normal 😃😃
Hi...... I am planning a trip to Edinburgh this summer and thanks to you now I am not a stranger to the city and it is beautiful.....you are really a great help....started watching all your videos.Maybe later you can show us a bit of the countryside around Edinburgh.....Stirling castle episode was very good for me....so thank you very much for your efforts......very appreciated.....:)
I just love these videos!!! I'll be traveling to Edinburgh in 2024 and your videos make me so eager!! Hahaha greetings from Chile!!
I am an Edinburgh person and have travelled these closes many a time over many a year going to and fro but have never really paid attention so your video is interesting.
"My old nemesis. Stairs," One of the most relatable lines from Kung Fu Pando. I'm feeling your pain, but laughing too.
I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying your explorations of the Closes and finding the little treasures along the way. Thank you for doing this! To think, some people go to the gym to get on a StairClimber!
I’m enjoying the Close videos!! Thanks so much!
These videos of the closes are fascinating. The courtyards, the architecture, how the sections of the town are connected... Loved your comment about “the something garden door capital something something something..!” Thanks for your efforts, Tony!
These videos about the closes have been my favorites of your videos.
You make the best tour guide. Love your sense of humor.
Thanks, mostly I am just making myself laugh😂
Husband and I are geeking out with you about all the little historical bits in this series!
Aint those bits great.
Thank you for the history. It’s wonderful. Sooo many stairs. When we were there in August we had to use a lot of stairs it was a lot of work. Thank you for being willing to go up and down those stairs. So we can see the closes.
I always admired Old Fishmarket Close, but to walk up this close starting at Cowgate is like torture :)
Its a fair climb.
I've only just come across your videos but looks like I'm hooked. Your passion for Edinburgh (and I can't blame you for that) is spot on and thank you so much for sharing. I love Edinburgh and can't wait to return someday soon.
Warriston's close and Borthwick's close were used as filming locations in the BBC's 2004 adaptation of North & South.
Must go back to EDINGBURGH soon
Fantastic video yet again! Anchor close was our "go to" close to get around town. Thank you for the additional history! I took a picture of the door way with "Lord be merciful to me" inscription. Very cool finds!
Thanks Tony! Another wonderful video. You have inspired me to plan more exploring during my visit next month!
Wonderful Edinburgh !!!
I love all the geeky bits. I often spotted hem and reacted the same just as you commented. yeah # Broonfords! 😀
Do you know that Edinburgh is built on two different old Edinburghs the great fire and the plague starts in one closes comes out two streets down on royal mile past the bridges what an adventure
i will surely visit some of these Closes when i m there in December. very interesting. thank you so much for sharing with us all. great information as well.
so looking forward to my visit there at Christmas time
There is a close at the side of the old police station in Parliment square which leads down to the cowgate so you missed one .
I’m sure there is a close in parliament square that you go down stairs on leading down to the Colgate.
I love the same things you do! Keep pointing them out. 😊❤️
That little piece of George Heriot history you found was nice. There’s a video in that story!
So which silly girl when running late walked all the way down the royal mile, all down Cockburn St to get to the new town. Every.single.day of my break in Edinburgh when i should have just walked down those closes! (is closes the correct plural?)
Yeah I think the is the right way to say it.
Borthwick’s looks like it could be spooky at night. They’re all lovely. Tony hope you treated yourself to Gregg’s takeaway and a beer for the stairs. Maybe helped you get ready for Orlando.
I haven’t. However I need to with the return jet lag I have👍
Brilliant video again , but who would want to be a Postie delivering up and doon the Closes , twice a day noo me .
Not me!👍
Thanks for the videos, i have enjoyed watching. We will be visiting in December so i have one question about this video seeing we wont have a large amount of time in edinburgh. Can you list your top 5 closes of the royal mile?
Oh that’s hard. I have not even finished visiting them all yet?
What kind of foot wear do you recommend for all those stairs and steep/hilly bits? Lol You are such a good sport, thanks for these video. Old architecture is cool, I get excited by it too! I love the history of places.
Something very comfortable.👍
Do you have video of the other closes from the Tron church to Holyrood Palace
Great video, Tony which video did you do the you walk by the Scotsman Hotel?
when you walked by the Scotsman Hotel
I honestly can’t remember. I Might have to check.
I thought the steps at Mary Kings Close were going to do me in. You don’t need a gym membership if you live in Edinburgh.
You are quite funny tbh...and I bet you didn't realize it....🤣
