Living Expenses in Edinburgh (Scotland) 🏴
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2020
- I heard so many positive comments about Edinburgh, Scotland, that I decided to see this city myself, and ask Giulia and Katherina (Kakibot) about living expenses, job opportunities, people, pros and cons of living in Edinburgh and so many other questions to help me decide whether I'd like to live there in the future.
The purpose of this video is to also help you decide where you want to move next. That's why I'm sharing my interviews with you all, hoping to cover the essential information you might want to know about a city.

🐻 About Me:
My name is Anica and I was born and raised in Italy, Rome in 1998. I'm originally from Bangladesh and I've been living in the UK for 6 years, so you could say I'm multinational. I'm studying Adult Nursing at the University of Nottingham, but I'm probably going to be like those people who study something but end up doing something completely different as a career.
✈️ My UA-cam Project:
It's a research about me travelling to explore, interview people and tell you about life satisfaction and living expenses of different cities across the UK. This is so that I can find the right place to live. I hope this project helps you to decide where you want to live next too.

“Lucky are the ones who live in Edinburgh” so poetic

I haven’t watched the video yet but I already have an answer: yes, Edinburgh is the best place to live. I moved a year ago from London and I never want to leave! Best decision ever.
Lmao anywhere is better than london.
How is covid there rn? Is everyone trying to be safe? I wanna move there in the spring but I’m scared tbh
@@jennagartland5838 People here act like there is no covid. Thats why uk has alot of cases. There is suppose to be a national lockdown right now but if you go outside there isnt because people dont care and kids are just treating it like they on vacation. So if you wanna get infected you are feel free to do so.
@@jennagartland5838 my experience has been mostly positive. In my area people tend to follow the rules, but of course you’ve got idiots everywhere. I feel that when schools shut down, things feel calmer. Like I said in the initial comment, I moved from London, so my former experience is that of a very busy city - Edinburgh feels much, much easier to live with Covid than London would!
Would you recommend it over Glasgow?
I'm Brazilian and completely in love with Scotland, especially Edinburgh😍
I’m American and I love Scotland all the islands and city’s are gorgeous 😻
Hi Luna, I’m Brazilian too, I live in London and my family and I are considering moving to Scotland. I hear only good reviews
@@SvetlanaVelvet Yeah, I'm American too and America is turning into a pile of trash. I'm sick of it I want out , Scotland is gorgeous, people are gorgeous and I'd fit right in over there.
Stay put in your country instead . Immigration will further ruin Scotland .
Glad you enjoyed your trip here and hope you can come back 😊🏴
Ya
Didn't expect to see you here! Alreet pal
If i came there you also feel glad for me or you feel glad for only girls
@@rehanvaseemkhan3020 if you make UA-cam videos talking about it then yes.
@@rehanvaseemkhan3020 only for girls. Don’t be a hater
So funny, I lived in Leith for a little while in the early 1980’s and I never felt unsafe even late at night as a female in my late teens! I’m English ,but Edinburgh remains my favourite city to this day 😍
I live in leith great place
Leith is being turned into a dump now, with expensive communist blocks everywhere and constant roadworks.
@@abc-ye2ec honey they aren't communist they are a symptom of capitalism. blame the right economic system
@@annefraser653 I'm coming to Leith in October what's to do ?
@@iainbonnar8864 the new shopping mall and that’s it. Don’t come.
Edinburgh is not one of the most expensive places to live in the UK. The balance between salary and life expenses is said to be the most balanced in Edinburgh actually compared to the rest of the UK.
I have relocated from Manchester to Edinburgh in December 2019 and it was the best decision I ever made. It might be more expensive, but if you will get a job which will pay you that difference in expenses, you will see you will be fine. I live in the very city centre and it's the best place i ever lived in the UK. I walk everywhere and it takes me 30 minutes to walk to almost all city centre spots and beyond to nature places like Holyrood Park or Blackford Hill. And it's true - Edinburgh is beyond spectacular in Autumn.
The Mancunians have invaded, help! 😜😂 Just messing hun, your comment is lovely. I was born and (mostly) bred in Edinburgh and I love this city, I'm happy that you are enjoying staying here. Hugs fae Easter Road hen 😁💙
Edinburgh has stolen my heart. I moved from London and couldn’t be happier! If I can, I’ll live here for the rest of my life ❤️
Love your reply!
@@arianaajbeaverhausen8175 ...I laughed when a English accent shouted at me because i parked my car down by the jet wash at asda and they parked up at the vacum machine and so when the car finnished at the jet was i went in. Then a Loud English accent shouting at me i jumped the cue i though WTF i have been doing this since it opened.
I hope move to there one day🌹
I went on a London and Scotland trip in junior year. I went expecting to love London but Scotland stole my heart. I loved the whole trip but the weather and scenery made me fall in love. I loved it and want to end up living there when I can. I’m from alaska by the way!
I left it in 2009 after high school but I have never actually left it in my heart ! It’s the place I grew up, a place of my youth.
You lived in Edinburgh?
@@vijayk1167
Yes I did !
@@siddharth.tiwari, It's a beautiful city....I also do have unforgettable memories of Edinburgh
So where are you now?
same here .
i lived my childhood in Scotland /perth/ burrelton
I am from Colombia. I lived in Edinburgh back in 1987. It is a place I would never forget. My best memories in life are from that ciy and the people are very nice, really helpful. Love Scots!
Wow a long time ago, you should go back for a visit and describe how it's changed.
I’ve wanted to move to Scotland for years. I’ve never been, but my ancestors were Clan MacDonald and my dad said it immediately felt like home when he went there when he was my age. I’m in love with Scotland. I absolutely loved this vlog. Super informative. Thank you! ❤️
A very beautiful introduction to my country's capital. Thanks for taking the time to create and share it. That transition at 2:26! Very nicely done.
The Dome at Christmas time is gorgeous
Looking at cities to study in for my masters and after this vid I'm lowkey sold...
same sis 😭😂..
Same
بالتوفيق لك 🌷❤️
I literally cannot get over how wonderfully made this video is.
Scotland is beautiful ❤️
There are so many ups and downs living in Edinburgh. I sometimes miss it, but not enough to bear the expense of going back. Definitely happier in the countryside and can always get a train into the city.
hi, this is so late but if you can, could you share what are the downsides of living in Edinburgh? i’d love to know, since i’m also considering relocating there :)
@@charlieackles8254 There is nowhere to live. Edinburgh is such a tightly packed city, very small footprint for the amount of people who live there. Most people from Edinburgh can't actually afford to live in Edinburgh. You'd be best looking at the surrounding areas and taking the pretty good public transport into the city if you want to relocate here. It's a stunning place to love with plennty of culture with the festival(s) we have running here.
Wow😍😍😍 Edinburgh is so beautiful and sounds so perfect.
It's nice to hear so many positive reviews about a city.
Thank you for the video.
Edinburgh is one of the best city to live in. Personally, some of my best mates were Scots. I can't forget lazy afternoon spent in Calton Hill and gazing towards firth of forth.
Thank you for showing my city in such a great light.
I love Edinburgh. Lived there for 3 months some years back..... and I will go there soon. Thanks.
Plz take me along I would love to. Live there
Really good video. I was born and raised in Edinburgh but now live in Surrey. Very nostalgic to see the sights again. Good to hear you and your friends take on living there 🙋♂️🏴
Randomly searching for Edinburgh got your video it's beautiful ❤️❤️
I live in Edinburgh! My rent is over 900 and is a house with rear and front garden. All are trees everywhere. Education for children is a Finnish educative system, one of the betters things. And well, is the universal city of Literature.
Hii , Do you talk spanish ?
@@valentinavalverde8122 sí, ¿por qué?
Great video! 👍 very informative and Edinburgh and all of Scotland is just breathtaking 😍
I am also coming to Edinburgh next year. Thank you so much for making such a vital informative video.
nice vlog and you approached it ,especially with people who live there asking great questions. thanks so much for making the effort,stay safe
Thank you so much for this video. I absolutely adore the way it was edited
I loved this video! Your editing is beautiful. I’m from near Glasgow but my sister is a student in Edinburgh❤️🏴
For me it is also really important to live in a place where the people are nice..
Yess me too 😀
Me to
Wow what a great vídeo with a useful information about scotland particularly Edinburgh and you have a shining smile!
This video was so relaxing and informative! I’m dreaming to visit Edinburgh next year, such a beautiful place!
i’ve been thinking about moving to scotland from england when i’m old enough for ages and everything said in this video strengthened that it just sounds so much nicer
Hi! I was looking for videos about Scotland and how it is to live there. Your video was VERY helpful so thank you so much for making this! 🥺 I wish you well on this youtube journey! 💕
I'm glad this video helped you! 🌻
some fantastic footage... very nice video...thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! This is the exact kind of thing I needed at this time. I'm considering Edinburgh University for my PhD so it's cool to see someone going and asking the kinds of questions I'd like to ask a local. Especially from an immigrant's perspective. I'm Puerto Rican, living in the USA. I've lived abroad before (Japan). So I'm really looking for another move and this helped with some perspective.
You'LL love it !! Amazing city!!
Check out 'The Welcoming' ,its a place that welcomes foreigners.I worked there as a Voluntary worker.
@@helenrumjanek2415 Thank you! I'll definitely check it out!
I'm glad this video helped you even though the audio wasn't so great at the end of it. And you seem to be an interesting person! Puerto Rican who lives in the USA and went to Japan and now you're considering Edinburgh. All the best Roxanne. 💐
@@LadyLuna It's worth it!! Great city for young people!!
Wonderful blog..you captured very well.
i’m from the us and omg… idk i just think Edinburgh is the place where i’d want to live in, seriously. it’s just so beautiful
If I would be able to live in the US legally, I‘d move to Hawaii! But since I‘m european I would definitely move to scotland 😊
I agree with you 🌷😌 me2
I don't know what kind of camera you are using but the video is beautiful, everything is very clear and bright.
Thanks for sharing.I first landed in Edinburgh ,1985.
What a lovely city❤️
Nicely done. Well done.
I’ve been to Edinburgh and Leith .wayback in 1985 . Although I stayed only for very short period , about a week,and I agree both were beautiful places to stay based on my experience . People were very kind, polite and approachable. The weather is so cold though.
Breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful...that beach is to die for.
11:44: "During the Fringe, lot of people who are like me, get very angry" - exactly, Katarina! I hate all the extra noise pollution and the crowds that the Fringe is bringing to Edinburgh. They keep saying the city is benefiting hugely from the Fringe... Yes, the businesses (especially the hospitality industry) are benefiting, but not the ordinary residents. And btw: if the city is REALLY hugely benefiting from the Fringe - it would be nice for Edinbugh residents, for example, not to pay any Council Tax in August. To have the Festival month tax-free. Then every Edinburgh resident would feel the benefit and appreciate the Festival more.
What does Fringe mean? Is it a festival,or kind of this?
@@user-ms4ex2kq2d the Fringe (full name is Edinburgh Fringe Festival) is apparently the world's largest art festival. It was established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival. It takes place annually in Edinburgh, in the month of August. In 2020, it was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.
It keeps jobs going 🤷
@@belindakennedy5828 far from all jobs. Just the ones in the hospitality and food sector. Oh, and it surely keeps the police busy too.
It literally like football… I was born bred in Glasgow have lived up north where my dad was from… I’m close to a football stadium none famous and crowd of people bar folk triples our streets are filled with strangers cars n middle of the night even 3am ppl talking loud drunk back to cars. Luckily for us area i]has out a stop to cars filling streets here during football days. I rem when I was younger I was training Jon near a famous stadium we got out late at night I had only my subway ticket return no money n lived miles away n I was refused to enter the subway by police so fans can use it. I had to walk home at 11pm at night through doggy streets roads for hours. After a long exhausting day work. I hate football. Ppl n it’s citizens should be priority esp when we young women without much money in a bad area at late hours of night trying to get home exhausted after work. Public transport should only be for citizens not fans they should get a city bus for fans to drop them home.
I rem when I visited Edinburgh with my family in the 90s it wasn’t busy place but now it is full to the brim with tourist. If they all come for Harry Potter then that makes it worse.
Thank for video....20 years in Edinburgh and is still great:)
Very good video with city analysis
This is the most helpful video I've found! Desperate to move here!
I’m moving there in 3 years from the US. I do have an advantage of be a young pensioner, so I’ll won’t need more than a retail job just to supplement my income. Plus my grandparents are from the UK which helps with visas and possibly a dual citizenship. I’ve traveled all over the world and Edinburgh is the most laidback city with truly amazing people.
What a cute, lovely, informative video! 👍🏾👍🏾
I hope one day I will visit this beautiful place. Villages of Scotland & Eastern Europe are fascinating.
Great Video Anica! I lived in Edinburgh for 1 year before to return to London, and you have shown the city very well, bravissima!
Beautiful video, very informative, thank you!
My ancestors were Scottish and I can relate to her description of the Scottish people. There are similar behaviors in the rural southeastern United States. Many Scottish immigrants settled there and still help others like she described. I wish I had spent a year in Scotland when I was younger and healthier. I’m glad these young ladies are there and enjoying life.

Wow, a very good ways of traveling & storytelling 👍🏼
Fantastic video, thanks!
Nice explanation, keep it up. Great job, keep doing it.
Glad to see your trip👍
This is really great video, thank you!
I love your video Solo Ann! My ancestors used to live in Edinburgh, and I am a USA citizen, so its nice to learn about my ancestors country & city.
Beautiful place! I’d love to travel with you virtually! So, yes, Solo Anne, I liked, subscribed and will expect more videos like this in the future. Thank you.
وانا ايضا أحب أن اسافر معكم افتراضياً 🌷💖
Studied in Edinburgh for 4 years back in the 90s. Love it so much and now hoping to relocate and live there😍
I love Scotland too
I love Stirling.
I have heard it was just as beautiful yes? I have one more year to work and then I hope to retire. Merry Christmas! stay safe!
Its an amazing little treasure
Beautiful city, so charming! ❤️😍💕
Sound quality? Lovely video, so things can only get better!
For me, Edinburgh was 'just' growing on me when I saw this - I've not done the 'fringe'; Scots are definitely good natured and Edinburgh IS walk friendly, for me, that's great!
incredibly useful, thanks
I miss Edinburgh....I love the city😍😍
Love to visit Scotland thanks for the information
Lovely lovely video, and you are so nice and positive and give such nice vibes! Brilliant ideea to make these videos, such a big help for me! Looks like we have very similar criterias on choosing the right place to live. I'm very undecided myself to where to live next as where I currently live, Hertfordshire, it's much to expensive and I will never be able to afford buying a house. It would be wonderful if you could also make a video about York, or Leeds, if of course, these cities could be of interest to you. Keep up the good work!🤗
It’s cold asf
I lived in Edinburgh before moving down to England and I loved it there...its very nice place to live alot of beautiful places to explore... and Edinburgh and Scotland In general will always be my home well definitely go back to Edinburgh even just for a break
I'm moving to Edinburgh next month and I'm so excited!
😀 support have an safe trip, i heard Scot's are warm people's 😅🤗
Am from Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu
My grandma is thinking of going back home to Scotland since her husband has passed and I think I’m going to go with her. Looks like the type of place I’ve been looking to settle and live in.
I’ve lived in the US since I was 3 years old (I’m 20 now) but I’m not a citizen or legal resident. For several years now with everything going on, I’ve thought I wanted to move to either Canada or the UK. Now I have a long distance girlfriend who’s a UK citizen and she lives in Scotland. I want to move there in the next couple years, not just for her but for myself. I’m going to finish my bachelor’s degree here in the USA and I plan on moving afterward. Hopefully the process isn’t too hard for me. Seeing videos like these help motivate me to work hard
I am rooting for you. I am 30 years old and US citizen, and I too am planning on moving there as well within the next couple of years. Edingburg is truly a mgical place to experience.
Just came to testify just how nice I found Scottish people. Several times when I asked for directions, people will actually walk me to the place I was looking for! Also, people helping me with my luggage at the airport/bus station etc. Sometimes during my early days when I opened a map to look for directions, someone will walk up to me and ask if I needed help. The nice, genuine actions are uncountable. I just loved my time there studying and I pray to visit beautiful Scotland again.
Excellent
Well done
Like all true reflections at Edinburgh
Gorgeous city
Due to her sincere warm residents
Audio was perfect 🏆
Just got back from Edinburg and it is the most enchanting city I’ve ever visited.
I've been in Edinburg when i was young. It's such a nice and beautiful place. I love it...😍😍
I lived in Edinburgh from 1978 to 1982 and really enjoyed the experience. I have lived in a few places since then and eventually ended up 30 or so miles from Edinburgh so I can still dip into its amenities. Great place especially when you are younger.
Just come back from visiting Edinburgh. Went to see where our late dad came from. It's a beautiful city. Went to portobello beach and the sun was out. Which was great as the day before at the castle, it threw it down. Looks like the same hotel we stayed in. The cairn Hotel. Can't wait to go back another time
Thanks for the information
In terms of the expenses u could always get a place just out side Edinburgh like west Lothian linlithgow in particular is gorgeous
Maryhill in Glasgow is even better.
Not only out of Edinburgh. There are a lot of places cheaper only 5 minutes from the old town.
I emigrated to Edinburgh from usa in 1987 and my very first impressions of living in a magical land have not faded. Thanks for reminding me of what I love about this city. Ironically I now live mostly in Prague but cannot bear to lose my connection to Edinburgh; until COVID I would visit 4-6 times a year and I maintain my flat. (On calton hill, which I utterly agree is one of Edinburgh’s enchanting locations !)
PS to Katerina- having moved the opposite direction I totally agree with your comments! As much as I love prague and Czechs, I miss Scotland - have been victim of attempted robbery 3 times in Prague, and find the people while friendly to be more negative.
I understand exactly what you mean I have been living in Central Europe going on three years now. I moved from the US. I visited Edinburgh and the highlands and knew "this was it" my hope is to retire there if at all possible I've got one more year to go. Merry Christmas! and stay safe!
@@mariapierce2707 this is beautiful , hearing so many nice comments about the Scots And Scotland is so cool and welcome as is our welcome to you xxx
@@tedbhoy1 Happy New Year!😊
@@tedbhoy1 please don't think me forward but as the time gets closer and covid is controlled, it would relieve my mind if I had someone "on the ground" to give me guidance. If I sent you my email would this be okay? I assure you I am a kind person with no ill intention. Thank you for extending a welcome!
@@mariapierce2707 how do you manage living there with the language barrier? I wanted to move from the U.K. to Austria but the fact I don’t speak German put me off.
My favorite city in the world to spend summers. Haven’t gone since COVID came along, so eager to get back soon. People are friendly, it’s safe, and filled with conveniences. Not my favorite place when the festivals are on bc it’s harder to get around. So, for long-term living, I would choose to live just outside of the city.
Wish to visit one day beautiful Scotland !!
Thank you for making this video!! I live in the U.S. and will one day move overseas!
I recognized Topping and Company. Fantastic bookshop!
I'm an IMG studying PLAB to start my career in the UK . Scotland is the DREAM ❤
Thanx for the great video ❤️❤️
Great video 👍
I love the bagpipes
I left Edinburgh because i thought I wanted something rural. Ha, big mistake! I miss it desperately every single day and hate living in the country with a passion but sadly I am stuck here now. Go live in Edinburgh, it's simply one of the best places on Earth. Just don't be a fool like me and take it for granted. I probably didn't deserve to be there.
I share your experience and now live on a scottish island.Pretty but poor shops ,high cost of living and dependent on ferry service to visit mainland.
unfortunately age and health mean i am stuck here. Yet many people love it,
guess i'm a city person.
My 12 yo has her heart set on moving to Scotland after graduation, but we are from the US and have never been out of the country. I am trying to find valuable information from other's personal experiences to share with her. Thank you for the video
Would 100% recommend , perfect place for a student although probably more expensive than places like Glasgow and etc
I just watched your video,and its really help me to know about edinburgh. I know edinburgh from movies that i watched on netflix,haha. I just love the city and makes me currious about the real edinburgh. Well this video really works. Hope one day i can visit the city.
Scotland is an amizing place to visit...
Very interesting..
I lived in Edinburgh good memories. Very nice video congratulations
This was an amazing video btw, well done. I'm considering moving there from London to build a better life for myself.
You wont be profiled like you are in London mate..take a visit check it out,,good luck,
I’ve seen Edinburgh on TikTok and now I’m obsessed
I was in Еdinburg in spring and autumn. I liked the city and people. People were very friendly. I want again to go there ! Was in Glasgow and St.Adrews - gorgeous places !!!
