I would sit in the Haggis Box and people watch on the Royal Mile. For tourists, walking all day takes its toll on the feet. A break at the Haggis Box provided relief and a clean toilet. This brings back wonderful memories. I also liked the Baked Potato Shop on Cockburn Street. I did a takeaway with a wonderful baked potato and topping.
Tony! American here and am very excited to say I'll be going to visit your beautiful City Edinburgh in July. Found your videos about a month ago and can't get enough. Look forward to sharing some of the new things I have learned. The new food places, etc... I'll be also going to Dunkeld, Isle of Skye, to name a few. What ever videos you can suggest would be great and thank you so much for the amazing videos!
It’s great you are going to Edinburgh, but a wee word to the wise; in future you should delay your visit by a few weeks, and visit Edinburgh in August, because this is when the Fringe and international Festivals take place. Also when the unmissable Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is on. Enjoy your stay
Haggis Box and Scran were already at the very top of my list for my next visit, thanks to you - will definitely be adding Frites as well. Cheers, Tony!
We'll be back in Edinburgh in a little over a month... missed out on Haggis Box two years, ago. Making a point to visit them this time! Thanks for all the excellent, quality video content!!
Always enjoy your videos. The Scran premises in Cockburn Street used to be a sports equipment shop. In 1975, I bought 12 outfield strips (tops, shorts, socks & self-sew-on numbers!) and a goalie's strip for my Sunday league fitba team. All fro the princely sum of £19.95 ⚽
Thank you, I’ve enjoyed your videos for so many years! I have to find a way to get to see Edinburgh for myself. Your videos make me feel like I’m home. I know that’s kind of strange, but it’s a fact. Especially since I live clear over in Montana,USA Anyways cheers have a great weekend!
Tony, I too am a Native of this city. I have only just came across your videos this evening. They are brilliant. While I was moderately knowledgable about our history before - you have given this proud Edinburgher a wealth of knowledge. The Haggis Box, and a malteaser milkshake are definitely on the agenda 😂 You do wonders for tourism in this city. Keep up the great work✨
Enjoyed the video. I’m making my third trip to Edinburgh in August, and I was wondering if you would do a video on the shortcuts to get around Old Town - secret closes/passages that the locals know about?
The Haggis Box is at the top of our list for our next visit. If you had room, you should have stopped by The Kilted Donut for a small ;) treat. (Thanks for that recommendation, too)
Great video! It’s 5:30 AM here in South Carolina and I have to say the sight of the haggis plate from the first restaurant was a little rough looking at this early hour. I’ll stick with my Cheerios in the morning 😁
:)This video made me smile so much! This time last year I was in Edinburgh! I miss it so much! I did visit the Haggis Box and had vegetarian haggis.... Delish!!! Thank you for all you do and of sharing that amazing city with all of us!!
Its one of those things that are much better than you would expect. Sounds a bit scary but its not. Got to have the neeps with it though. They are slightly sweet so gives you a subtle sweet and sour type flavour. Oh yeah happy Easter
I love your videos Tony, they always make me want to go back to Edinburgh but the problem is that I live 450 miles to the south and it aint that easy !
I was just in Edinburgh a week ago! Completely enjoyed your city and your castle as well as the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Camera Obscura. Happy Easter from across the pond. Be well~
I haven't been to the Haggis Box so it is now a must for my next trip!! Scan is fire too! My boy loves the buffalo chicken.. But Frites is an absolute favorite!! They have a lot of Gluten Free options too!! .. Thanks for the video 🥰
Last time we went Scran was kind of hidden behind some scaffolding so we missed it even though we walked by a bunch of times. Looking forward to trying it this summer when we return!
Of the three I have only been to two. I have not been to Frites but I will go next time. I LOVE the veggie haggis, as I don't want to do the real one. (sorry) I ate a burger and fries at Scran and drank water, but my friend had the malts and they were wonderful!! Good places Tony!!
good day From near Denmark thank you very much for your videos, I would be interested if you would make a video about the job market, what exactly are they looking for in Edinburgh for people, training, studies etc.. stay in love❤
LOL I think I have been watching you for too long I just knew which two you were going to featured, the third was hard to guess I thought Greggs for a sausage roll or a dessert place. Anyway I noticed while you were on Cockburn street, the baked spud shop wasn't there, surely it hasn't closed it has been there for decades.
Bad review left and reported. Lets get that slimeball! I love your posts, i live in Edinburgh and its where my heart is. How dare some schmuck steal your content!
I checked out the Scran menu online, wow! Looks very tasty, without even getting g to the deserts. Tony, any recommendations for pubs with trad music that would allow kids? Having trouble finding any that’ll allow kids after 8 or 9pm (can’t recall which). Thanks!
Hi Tony😊 Question for you. Is the Haggis Box a new location? I was just wondering if this is the same place that used to be in a green shed outside box place? If so, WOW, that's great that they're in a solid restaurant space.. I used to go up to Edinburgh for work every other month for a week and loved that Haggis shack. 😊
@@ClanBroonford That's wonderful! 😊 I'm so happy for them. Their HN&T was my favorite treat eat. Thanks for the reply. I know where I'm eating the first week of November now. ❤️😊❤️
It's a good time to come. Too early in the year for it to be super busy. I definitely can't guarantee it, but sometimes we get the best weather early in the year. Often followed by a horrible summer. Everything's starting to grow again after winter. Lots of bulbs starting to flower It's definitely one of the better times to come. This is a good channel to watch. I've lived here for a few years, but I still learn a lot from watching this channel
Oh and another food recommendation for food.Is the Sicilian Pastry shop near the top of Leith. Is a small family run business, always busy because its so good. It near the top but a little bit away from Leith walk so you might need a map to find it. Its one of my favorite snack/cake places
The sacrifices you make for us Tony!!!!! Came by your Castle and rang the bell the other day but I don't think you were home. Bunch of people milling about outside...... Staff?
That's person stealing your Facebook videos. Tony really got you paranoid. The best thing about UA-cam, thou is the copyright feature. I also sent u a message, but not sure if you forgot to replay cheers
Arcade Bar Haggis & Whisky House, on Cockburn Street... across from Scran. They have a haggis stuffed chicken that was really good. And... fun, funky chairs.

They can steal your content but they'll never steal your banter 👌👍✌️🏴

Enjoy yourself! We did last Fall and largely based on Tony's suggestions. Now we can't wait for our next visit and go to the Haggis Box. Wisconsin.
Haggis Box for sure. I’ll be there this July too from Canada.

@@kent3900 Thanks for your suggestion.
You'll love it. There are loads of Americans here. We had Taylor Swift last weekend and people came from the USA to see her because it was cheaper!
Tony, hope your family is doing well since the little one came into the world.
Haggis Box and Scran were already at the very top of my list for my next visit, thanks to you - will definitely be adding Frites as well. Cheers, Tony!

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about Mr. Tony Broonford is, he does not steer you wrong when it comes to food (or anything else for that matter)!
need to try these next time!
nice to see some of these places it would be very good for tourists I love here so can eat at home most times! ❤
Tony, I too am a Native of this city.

Tony, I always say it and I always mean it! Thank you for the new videos and for all your videos
‘Mr Broonford’ came up as a suggestion in my Facebook. He certainly got a comment from me before I blocked him/her 😂😂
Great video! It’s 5:30 AM here in South Carolina and I have to say the sight of the haggis plate from the first restaurant was a little rough looking at this early hour. I’ll stick with my Cheerios in the morning 😁

I will try haggis 😊 I'm curious how it tastes. Oh, and happy Easter 💐
Same to you!

Hi Tony your accent is perfect give me it I'm from broxburn West Lothian accent crap .keep up the good work I'll be visiting them haunted pubs 😂
Thank you for all your videos 💓💓 were visiting in June and can't wait to try all these
I was just in Edinburgh a week ago! Completely enjoyed your city and your castle as well as the Palace of Holyroodhouse and Camera Obscura. Happy Easter from across the pond. Be well~
I did breakfast at Scran on Cockburn Street when i was there, thanks to your previous recommendation ❤
I'm definitely going to Haggis Box for me and Scran for the Mac and cheese with chicken wrap for my boys. Love all your videos Tony ❤
You should come up with Scottish phrases during your filming - let them try and copy that😂
I haven't been to the Haggis Box so it is now a must for my next trip!! Scan is fire too! My boy loves the buffalo chicken.. But Frites is an absolute favorite!! They have a lot of Gluten Free options too!! .. Thanks for the video 🥰
My first haggis was from The Haggis Box at the Grassmarket, and the mars bars from Glemshell and mac & chees from the pub😊
Last time we went Scran was kind of hidden behind some scaffolding so we missed it even though we walked by a bunch of times. Looking forward to trying it this summer when we return!
I miss the baked tattie place in Cockburn Street.
The food looks great! Thank you! Now I'm really hungry!
Top choices mate! There’s the first three scran runs chosen upon arrival in late July. 😂
Mocrowaved haggis for breakfast. That you cannot beat.
Of the three I have only been to two. I have not been to Frites but I will go next time. I LOVE the veggie haggis, as I don't want to do the real one. (sorry) I ate a burger and fries at Scran and drank water, but my friend had the malts and they were wonderful!! Good places Tony!!
Just noticed the Seattle Kracken hat. We'll be visiting from the Seattle area in June. Appreciate your videos!
Haggis box Haggis box haggis box love it
good day From near Denmark thank you very much for your videos, I would be interested if you would make a video about the job market, what exactly are they looking for in Edinburgh for people, training, studies etc.. stay in love❤
You are my hero!
Best takeaway in the city is Slum Dog Delivered. Haggis pakoras is all you need to know.
LOL I think I have been watching you for too long I just knew which two you were going to featured, the third was hard to guess I thought Greggs for a sausage roll or a dessert place. Anyway I noticed while you were on Cockburn street, the baked spud shop wasn't there, surely it hasn't closed it has been there for decades.
It is closed sadly.
Nice castle. Your rates must be a nightmare. Great video. 👍
Bad review left and reported. Lets get that slimeball! I love your posts, i live in Edinburgh and its where my heart is. How dare some schmuck steal your content!
i wondered were the haggis box went to, will be going there soon cheers

Tony, any recommendations for pubs with trad music that would allow kids? Having trouble finding any that’ll allow kids after 8 or 9pm (can’t recall which).
Thanks!
It's against the law for children to be in a pub after around 6pm unfortunately. You won't fine any pub that will allow them in.
A shame Brattisani's wasn't still open.
What’s the next best thing at Scran? one of us can’t have mac &cheese, poor thing.
Hi Tony😊 Question for you. Is the Haggis Box a new location? I was just wondering if this is the same place that used to be in a green shed outside box place? If so, WOW, that's great that they're in a solid restaurant space.. I used to go up to Edinburgh for work every other month for a week and loved that Haggis shack. 😊
Yes, it's now in the story telling centre at John Knox house.

Pink is very good as well.

Can you recommend best place for Christmas Day food in EDINBURGH
Let me guess the Scran milkshake was £5?🇨🇦
The sacrifices you make for us Tony!!!!! Came by your Castle and rang the bell the other day but I don't think you were home. Bunch of people milling about outside...... Staff?

Sorry didn't see your message. I will try to find it.
@ClanBroonford no worrys Tony
I believe Steph Macleod will be playing at the Usher tomorrow night, Easter night. 730, free admission, but donations are welcome.
Who has the 2nd best Haggis in your opinion?
Arcade Bar Haggis & Whisky House, on Cockburn Street... across from Scran. They have a haggis stuffed chicken that was really good. And... fun, funky chairs.
@@chocodingdong that sounds amazing
I had haggis lasagna once. It was amazing.
Good video..but its not your castle its mine 😀
Mine!!!!
Every time you say "my castle" I start arguing with you Tony via the tv of course 🤦🏻♀️ It's "my castle" I'm afraid 😂
