I'm a simple man. I see a Broonford video, i press the thumbs-up as soon as the video starts.
I arrived home yesterday from a weeks holiday in Edinburgh. I have been before, but this was by far the best visit. On one of the day's I visited Craigmillar castle then walked into Duddingston Village. As a lover of old pubs The Sheep's Heid Inn was amazing and I agree the food is something to be desired. Very friendly staff too. I visited so many other places during the week Edinburgh is one of my favourite places to go. I also loved the lively, vibrant energy created by The Fringe Festival and a trip to Edinburgh wouldn't be complete without at least attending one of the ghost tours. Missing it already.
"You will notice, I don't have a horse." 🤣
More antics, plz! 🤣
That loupin stane (horse steps)made me gaffaw out loud! 🤭🤣
This symbol ☠ means, plague victim?!
I was not aware of that 😵 but I have noticed a lot of gravestones, throughout Scotland with that symbol on them!!
Learned something new today, makes a good day, even better!! thx 👍
I think Duddingston Village is officially on my to-see list, next time I visit, Edinburgh 💙💙
p.s. finally ordered my Clan Broonford tee, in heather purple...💜
hello from Denmark 🌱🌸
This video was AWESOME!! You made me cry with the beauty and history. I brought students there in 2019 for lunch and Skittles. I've been 3 x and loved it every time. There's a Frankenstein-like novel called The Edinburgh Dead that features the graveyard. Very cool. You make me smile.
My sisters, my friend and I walked from Leith to Duddingston. We visited the Kirk and ate at the Sheep Heid Inn. It was a fun walk and the food at the inn was delicious. Thank you for the video which brought back such wonderful memories.
This is one of my favorite memory of my 2019 trip to Edinburgh. What a wonderful place! We went around Arthur's Seat, then down to Dr Neil's garden (so beautiful and well hidden) and had lunch at the Sheeps Heid. Then walked accross an orchard and reached Arthur's seat through a gap in the wall. Just a perfect day! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
The steps for helping people to get on their horse is called a loupin'-on stane. There's another outside Aberlady church where my grandfather was the beadle.
Enjoyed the video as ever. The skull and Crossbones on a grave doesn't mean plague, it's a notification that more than one body lies there. It's a sign for the rapture supposedly, so that whatever angel, Gabriel maybe, comes for the "faithful", he'll know to resurrect more than one person.
I absolutely love it when you. "Geek Out". My hubby and I are cut from a very similar geek cloth! 😂. I absolutely loved this video. Honestly, I can think of one of your videos in which I didn't walk away with more knowledge than I had before! Sending well wishes to you, Kirsten, you dad, sweet Lillian and the lads!💙🏴💙
handsome little town
My favourite place in the whole world. So great to see this video!

J p Beattie-Black
So Lovely to have found you only last night and just Love your videos !!! I grew up in Edinburgh, so this is such a happy memory for me !!! Thank you !!!
I am thinking that Tony went and sat on the Roman wall before he went home. Lovely little video. Have a great day humans
@The Broonfords - beautifull walk! We've done it yesterday - one of our favorite places in Edinburgh;
Dr Neil's Garden is really lovely place for picnic or wee walk, you should visit next time - access to the Garden (by car) is from Duddingston Road West, there is big car park and everything, you pass a nice area of allotments and there is small gate at the end of it, next to the Thomson Tower (you can visit tower too) or there is another access to the Dr Neil's Garden (by walk) - from the church side and wee cafe when is open; Regards!
walking along past the sheeps head you come to a community garden with an orchard. open to all. Great tour of cemetery.
Dr.Neil's garden is a gem, so worth a return and yes the sheeps
heid deserves every bit of praise it gets. Wonderful memories thanks Tony. Hope you are all well and stay safe.👍👍☕
I loved the video. Duddingston Village will definitely be a stop for me when I come to Scotland
I would love to live in duddinston the walk over Arthur's seat is worth it especially for the views up the firth of forth
At 5.15 in ,there is the original entrance in the back ground its a classic Norman arch and the kirk was founded during the Norman period by Knights that were invited to settle in Scotland by David the 1st . Jock Tamson was one of the ministers of the kirk and he called his congregation his bairns ,hence the saying we are all Jock Tamsons bairns .
Love this video, will be adding this wee gem to my Edinburgh tour list 👌.so glad I literally just live over the water on the coast of Fife...can sit at the beach look straight over the water and see the castle and Royal Mile from my wee toun 😊
Hi Tony. Thanks for another great video. The village and surrounds look absolutely gorgeous. I would love to live there!
Hi Tony. Tomorrow I'll travel from Kernow to Ould Wreekie (deffo spelt incorrectly, sorry), to visit a dear friend who now resides in Whitefoorde House since the passing of his wife, earlier this year.
Inspired by this video, I shall walk, weather permitting, from my Rose St. digs, to The Sheep Heid where, even if they don't serve plant-based fayre, I will respect the history of the Inn, soak up its ambience and enjoy a room temperature beer. 'ansum. Slanjevar.
Love your videos..our son lives in Edinburgh so we visit several times a year..but its nice to revisit places with you when we cant get up..esp during covid 18 months. Thankyou. ❤️
Re the Sheeps heid.
I have played skittles in there and Brother chored (well someone had left it) an old style rucksac (pear drop) in there . This was early 80s. ,
Never lived in Duddingston but although part of Edinburgh we saw it as this far away exotic place.
GREAT VIDEO NICE PLACE CANT WAIT TILL NEXT VIDEO STAY SAFE
I love this! I'm totally going there if the weather is decent and we have time. Thank you!
What a quiet wee spot! Lovely, always a great time at the Sheep Heid 👍
Really enjoyed the gorgeous scenery! Definitely putting this on our list of things to see in & around Edinburgh! ☮️💟☮️
Looks lovely, we've never been to that side of Arthurs seat.
I just moved to Duddingston Village (lived in Leith and the City Centre) before. Makes me want to explore the area.
Another great video! The tomb in the kirkyard reminded me of one at Old Calton Burial Ground for Captain John Gray, which also has a ship on it (very detailed sculpting). I notice the name here is Jean Gray (related?). John Gray's stone is just to the left near the steps and close to the wall as you enter Old Calton; it's quite evocative and impressive, containing other sculpted elements as well.
Thanks, again.
The Sheep Heid Inn is a brilliant restaurant. I love the old style skittle alley as well. Great video as always Tony! :)
Supposed to be the oldest pub in scotland.
@@thomasmorin749 I believe it is Thomas.
Thank you, so helpful 😊
Thanks for showing different places as we've been loads of times to Edinburgh but always stick to the city centre so next time will need to venture out a bit .
I recently learned on a tour of Greyfriars that the Skull and Crossbones on a gravestone was a symbol of mortality and a reminder that one day everyone will just be a skull and bones.
Absolutely brilliant loved this video, have to say throughly enjoying your videos thank you so much 😊😀❤
Ive not heard the saying Jock Tamsons Bairns for a while my dad used it a lot
Thank you Tony, what a beautiful gem of a village yet so close to the city. Much love to you, Kirsten, Lillian and the fur babies x
I used to love going through Duddingston Village with my wee sister May , up to Arthurs Seat from Bingham in the early 50's , your videos bring back lovely memories Tony so thank you very much .Duncan Pitkeathly .
I'll be in Edinburgh on Wednesday. Might see you 😀
Lovely little walk and a beautiful village. Tony, YOU ARE SO FUNNY! The sarcasm is strong with this one! Lol
Another great video Tony. Thanks again for showing why your wonderful city is truly beautiful and why we all want to be there.
Thank you for the laugh (getting on your horse) I needed it today :)
and regarding the gravestone - The skull and crossbones are probably the oldest mortality symbols found on Scottish graveyards. Often an hour glass is combined to signify time running out, or a winged death's head also indicating that life is nothing solid but fleeting. .graveyardsofscotland.com We both learned something today x
Another gem! Never knew about The Sheep Heid Inn until watching this. Can’t wait to get back to Edinburgh and take my other half there, this is right up his street. 🏴 🥃
What a beautiful village Tony. Adding this one to my list too. We're visiting Edinburgh a few times over the next 6 months so we'll definitely visit Duddingston Village 😊
Don’t forget to visit Dean village too in Stockbridge.
@@jonsmum5552 been there many times. Lovely places 👍
@@DaveyPalmer1 The strange thing is when somethings on your doorstep you take it for granted. I live 15 minutes walk from the Kirk but never go.
Thanks Tony! Lovely stroll and so close to the city. Prestonfield House is just the other side of the loch. Go some time and see their peacocks and highland cows. The hotel buildings are gorgeous too. We visit the gardens even though we were not guests…
Brilliant mate. Forgot how much of a gem this place is. Thanks for sharing!
The Christmas service in the Kirk is wonderful, the place is packed!
Another beautiful village to add to my ever growing list when I can visit from Australia:)
I have been there! Such a wonderful place, thank u for sharing this! Have u ever been to Warriston Cemetery?? THAT'S such a wonderful place... if u haven't, I think u should definitely go and have a stroll.... and make a video, yes this is a request!! :D :D
I live in a rural area, so places like this are exactly my speed. I have to be brave to venture into Edinburgh! Luckily I have your videos to help. 😅
Tony l cannot say thistle and lovely in the same sentence 😊
There is also an outdoor area in the Sheip heid at the back where you can eat.
We’re a Jock Thomson’s bairns aka the Reverend John Thomson , both names mentioned on both the signs you read
I went there last week I almost fall in the loch live streaming it was soooo funny :)
Oh now that would have been a moment. Lol
Haha....was just there on Wednesday...!! Just missed each other.
Hi Tony hope once again you have done another great video. Lovely looking village. Is there any chance that you could do a video about the outlander filming locations.
Great video. Just discovered your channel and they are very helpful as im planning a trip soon and want to find hidden gems!
A big question, if i went through the Innocent Railway Tunnel to the Innocent Bridge, would i end up near to Duddingston Village?
Kinda, you would still have a small walk along old church lane. Maybe a mile.
In 1992 I fitted new kitchens and bathrooms in a couple of flats in the tenements directly opposite The Sheep Heid.
Had lunch there every day for two or three weeks.
At that time Malcolm Rifkind was a very unpopular secretary of state for Scotland and lived in the house just to the left of the tenement and diagonally across from the pub.
I had a run-in with him one morning when he complained that we had parked too close to the opening of his driveway which was utter nonsense.
I told him he should go live in England as he was a Traitor to the Scottish people
He abruptly shut up and went inside.😄😄
Bonnie Prince Charlie drank in the Sheep Heid and had his own private stall. They say he was carried out very drunk many a time by his manservant.
An interesting video, however I have one point of correction... Sheep Heid Inn is not called the Sheep's Heid Inn, it's singular not plural.
Where did you start? Noticed there's bike cycle parking so would be great to know :)
How far is Deane Village from Duddingston Village for walking?
Its miles away, best to take the bus or taxi
Hi Tony a lovely stroll around Duddingston. A question for you. The Clachan pub in Drymen claims that it is the oldest pub in Scotland rather than the Sheep's Heid Inn. I hope it is not true.
A' short for aw. Read as all , so "seat.... ALL Jock Tampsons bairns" =Everyone
You should start vlogging about you
No one wants to hear about me. But I do put little personal blogs on our patreon.
Hi Tony I think your right or maybe a member of the dark arts lol
☠ = plague victim rests here
Sorry Tony I put the word hope in my message, please accept my apologies
I would prefer you take your head out of the picture so we can see the beauty your talking about, we can still hear the wisdom of your words and also view the beauty, ...just saying. Also if you come out of Duddingston Village houses you would have seen the path that leads to the Kirk's beautiful Gardens and flower and plant Nursery.
I have to disagree; the way Tony films makes you feel like you are on a personal tour and you get to experience it with him. It’s not a style that every vlogger can pull off but Tony’s facial expressions and personality makes it a wonderful experience.
Please, don't move the camera in such a jerky motion.
I'm sorry to pick you up on this but it urks me so much that a Scotsman cannot pronounce the word loch properly.
Unfortunately i have had a nose and throat issue. Thanks for making me feel inadequate for being ill.
@@ClanBroonford sorry man didn't mean to make you feel bad, I just thought you might have been one of those Scottish people that can't say things like that properly. So I apologise for being wrong.
No it’s cool. I noticed it when I was editing as well and it annoyed me.
My sisters, my friend and I walked from Leith to Duddingston. We visited the Kirk and ate at the Sheep Heid Inn. It was a fun walk and the food at the inn was delicious. Thank you for the video which brought back such wonderful memories.
