another top ad
Hahaha, HOLY Sh*t! - another 'BANGING' advert 🤣
Try a pub crawl in Rose Street next ...... its said no one has ever completed the pub crawl having a drink in ..... every .... pub . That's my challenge to you ....
Trainspotting was set in Leith
Congratulations! This channel is going from strength to strength. It’s becoming a must watch for me.
🤣🤣 cheers pal. Really appreciate it
Thanks for visiting foxs glad you came back again (barman)
Fkn brill of you to buy him a beer mate!! I love Scotland.. and with a McG surname I bloody well should!
If I'm ever in Edinburgh I'll be popping in!
@@jackbuff_I your welcome anytime mate
Edinburgh is pretty much England anyway.
Great ad for the pub. I'd say loads of Danny's viewers will head in for a pint if they're nearby after seeing how bangin the pub was.
What a great guy that barman was, I'd visit just for the knowledge of that
"You want some Charlie" 😂😂 legend old boy
I thought he said are you worried about Charlie 😂
@@MrSimonsonLifts 🤣 This guy should be on the Edinburgh tourist board, he'll hook you up to the closest dealer 🤣
The bar that chucked you out - they've missed out on a bit of free promotion for themselves, their loss though! Maybe they had something to hide. Also - best ad yet!
Deffo pal! 100%. Nice one 🤣
Yeah, seemed very unfriendly for some odd reason. I’ve been in all sorts of pubs in Scotland, never had any bother as a single bloke.
Or maybe the punters just wanted a pint without this teapot wondering in and objectifying them eh.
@@Cousinreeek you think? this is or should be a standard reaction to someone sticking a camera in your face for self promotion and financial gain
The fkn Marksman aren't looking for any free promo you dafty 😂😂😂
I visited Edinburgh a few years ago, and it was such a beautiful place! And the people were incredibly welcoming. Good people!
Edinburgh is touristy city . As for barman paid for the guys drink would never happen to a Scot in an English bar for sure . England treat Scots so much worse in England .
Absolutely not true. I've lived all over the place, Scotland and England and Northern Ireland and bar staff are always friendly (whether sincerely or not) because that's their job. English in Scotland get the hardest time because so many Scots have a bag of chips on their shoulder towards them-they'd rather have an illegal immigrant in Scotland than an English person. THAT is how bitter some Scots are. English people, like Northern Irish tend to be morecaccept8ng of people-that's my experience, anyway, and I've been from one end of this country to the other.
The personality of the protagonist makes these video`s essential viewing and adds to the interest, I really look forward to new content, Keep up the good work squire....
Fair play visiting those pubs, especially during an England match. The times I've been to Leith recently it's clear that it's still rough around the edges despite the regeneration.
The Marksman has 4.2/5 stars on Google Reviews but tells our guy to sod off. Probably hating on the English that day thanks to Bellingham's late leveller 🏴
Probs 🤣🤣🤣
They tell other Scots to piss off too, especially Glaswegians. East coast bams.
I live around the corner, can confirm they hate on the English and anyone with a full set of teeth every day
Leith is noting compared to what it was. The smoking van in pubs killed many of them off literally within a year of being implemented. Most people living there now aren't Leithers, and A LOT aren't even British. The pubs are wank, with too many studen-types or rich people. Gone are the days when ladies of a certain industry walked the streets. I worked (in the docks) and lived there from 1995 to 2018 and saw a HUGE change in that time, little for the better but mostly for the worse.
@@NathanielGarro-ru7du all the ladies of the night worked coburg st and got nailed in the carparks of the nearby little industrial estate lol i used to see them standing about when i was shooting down that way in my black cab . Then they got the boot and they moved to salamader st near the sewage works and crematorium
They also., for a time, about 10-15 years ago, hung around at Leith Links and threw used condoms into trees where they hung like jelly decorations from the branches. The residents formed a committee and got them moved on because they were taking punters up people's alleyways and doing them there- those residents being posh and well-to-do so able to pull those strings.
@@NathanielGarro-ru7du when the nato fleet came to edin in 98 i worked for business post and at weekends drove for radio cabs remember them 😎 there was hookers from glasgow came to edin lol on the mon i went to a wee unit to deliver a package ! Fuck me theres was jonnys everywhere and the lab dog lying at the door that used to come and greet me had them stuck to his coat ! He had been sleeping in them 🤮
Drank in a pub in Leith 40 years ago and I was the only one in there without a razor scar on my face, the locals were sound though and had no bother.
🤣🤣
They must have all been bottled at some point 😆
@@animal79thecat in A&E now
What pub
@@scottparker1099 No idea what it was called, it was back in 1984, it was a Hibs firm pub.
The holy grail advert was the best yt advert cod product hing av ever seen 🤣 if creators spent more time on sponsors i would watch them too 😂
Just loving this. And I have to say, it's about the first time I haven't minded watching ads. They're really funny man. Keep it up.
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
The Central Bar looks beautiful!
I lived in Leith for a few years, and everyone there knew to avoid The Marksman. Hell on earth. The nice pubs in Leith are all down by the waterfront.
Wee bit of Charlie hhahahahahhahaha
I admire this guy’s bottle tbh
I can run fast 🤣
Bald and Bankrupt but with more boozers. Love it
@@fastandfurious3173 🤣🤣
@fastandfurious3173 except bald and bankrupt is an actual creepy pred. This guy however seems proper sound.
@@Tice-Nits 🤣i'll take that pal 👍
Leith, particularly the waterfront, was fine 30 years ago. Used to go down there quite a bit as one of my mates had a flat in a warehouse conversion.
11:05 what a beautiful building!
Definately becoming my favourite channel on UA-cam, awesome video mate!
Cheers pal, really appreciate it 👍
The pub where the guy got shot on New Year's was actually the Anchor Inn in Granton, not the Marksman. Still a dump though
Yeah some asshole giving wrong information about the pub shooting.
Edinburgh looks class!
Brilliant video again fella 🍻
Cheers pal 👍
Great video. I lived in Leith area around 20 years ago, just as some of the old pubs were closing down or evolving into coffee shops, tanning salons, etc. Aborted (delayed) tram line development didn't help them. Great to see Wilkies still there, always enjoyed that place. Central bar looks just like it did 20 years ago!
Ha! The marksman has always been dodgy, and the Central had its moments too over the years. The spoons ive had to walk over folk od'n the doorway to get in on more than one occasion. That was weekday late afternoons for an after work pint.
This was weekday too 🤣
Another good on 👍🤙💙 your sponsor ads quality is amazing 😂😂😂
Cheers pal 🍻
The advertising is brilliant love it 😸
Funny as fuck !😂
@@Frank-qs3pe for a moment i thought it was the Lone Ranger and Tonto
You were a marked man in the Marksman……🤜!
🤣
Trainspotting Land. Glad You never met Frances Begbie…
The marksman is a lot nicer than it used to be -the Spey is awful
@@lextalonis839 Many of them there in Edinburghs Leith district fir sure . No messing Get tae fk .
Top quality again mate
Cheers pal
The marksman was the sort of pubs we were all hoping you’d encounter on the estates 🏡,however it’s the first real pub that shown bad attitude 😅 good video this one 👍
I never skip the ads when you do them - great stuff!
Really appreciate that 👍
Well well well. Twenty years almost exactly after leaving those exact same bars and streets behind.. my flat was in Great Junction Street.. for a life abroad.. It’s not changed, but very quiet.
In the central, the dockers used to come in before a shift and have a few beers and a punch up, in another corner, a gogo dancer was being assaulted by an alsation with the crowd egging the thing on! Happy Days
christ hahaha
There’s queen victoria…”the babe herself” had me crying🤣🤣
💦
Have a look at her statue in Liverpool, definitely not a babe.
He was being ironic
This is your best ever video mate, talking to the locals is great.
Wow, I've never had the balls to walk into any of those pubs. Well done mate, you handled yourself very well and were respectful throughout. Stay safe
The Marksman was definitely a bit sketchy 😮 Fair play to you for giving it a go.
Deffo avoid it
Central bar interior is stunning
The Iona Bar is good and The Vine along at Junction Street. Most people in Leith are either sipping champagne or drinking oatmilk-mocha-lattes but some character pubs still around. The Tavern near the foot of the walk is probably worth a visit.
Spot on there mate
Can't believe you didn't go into Tam O'Shanter's or the Spey Lounge! Marksman's quality though! 😂
Mate, your product placement/advertising is fucking killing me. I genuinely look forward to seeing these ones. Other UA-camrs need to take note 😂😂😂😂
Right mixed bag. In Leith, hipsters but some of the fools would make Glaswegians blush. The Marksman is rough as a bears backside. The spoons is full of my age group but the food is infamous in there. I drink up the town.
The large flats were featured on trainspotting
Not them ones m8 you must have been watching another film 😂😂😂 the flats that were on trainspotting 2 were the banana flats 😂😂😢
Really enjoy your station here in the USA. The neighborhood tours culminating in dive pubs is extremely interesting. It's real life...keep up the cool work!
Another banging one mate and nearly kickin off 😆
Almost kicked off! Finally! Great episode mate
Was in Edinburgh last week on holiday from Sheffield, discovered your channel while I was there, love it mate , keep it up 👍
At last, you came to Edinburgh! Walked right past my house too.
I told you before you'd love the Marksman 😂
Best pub of the bunch 🤣
@@honestplaces Hahaha, legend!
It is what it is. I'm going to use that more often. Good video 👍🏻
People chatting about the shooting at New year's wasn't the marksman or even in Leith. It was the anchor inn along at Granton
Great stuff, you never fail to entertain me, adverts are hilarious 😂 🖖
Im from Manchester but always enjoy a weekend in Edinburgh when I go up there to visit family. Leith is a cool place to visit as you have a mix of different people from all socio economic backgrounds, whereas anywhere near the centre of Edinburgh is now extremely expensive.
Manchester 🐝 invaded!
Center of Edinburgh is a circus now, lived here all my life.
This is an instant classic. Bravo. Charlie, a pub that lives up to its name and a bloke that sounds like Alan Hansen around the 9.35 mark.Should've got some tactical advice from him about the marksman.
the first ad i actually enjoyed to watch.
Really appreciate that pal 👍
Do you want a wee bit of sniff sniff Charlie 😂😂😂😂😂😂thats my sort of boozer ❤🇬🇧🇮🇪
🤣
That's not a good advert for the marksman.
🤣
A petrol bomb was thrown into a pub in Coatbridge ( Scotland ) in the 1970s and it was drank before it hit the ground… don’t talk to me about rough pubs !
😂
😮😂
back in the day in Grimsby the Rainbow pub at the end of freeman street was wild, almost as bad as the dockers fist pub in aberdeen
Love Scotland! 4:80 for 2 points is fkn fantastic! Go to Govan next!.
. Thought I was tripping in the mid roll 😂 ... marketing skills are on point. 👌🏼
Yeh cheap pints init 🤣 cheers pal
You walked past the vine bar at 8:05, that's also a real delightful shithole, I was offered a bartender job in the central bar a while back and the manager said it would be good to have someone my size to help throw out anyone fighting, I was like "yeah nah, not for minimum wage ffs"🤣😂🤣. Edinburgh has a lot of good things going for it though unlike a lot of other large cities in the UK. Enjoying your videos mate, keep them coming. Is this your full time job now or do you also work?
🤣🤣🤣 deffo would of been interesting working there
Not yet pal
I love the effort you went to not show that you clearly sxxt it when faced with the Tam O' Shanter which you passed twice! 😂
as a huge indiana jones fan, the ad was great 🤣💪🏼
Excellent. Comedy ads wrapped around pub crawl)
Cheers pal 🤣
Next time you're in Edinburgh, try Number one Grange. The John Leslie, Swanny's, the old bell, I would avoid Minders (became the Wayside and the Aviator, god knows what it is now!) because when I used to drink in Bierex(number 1 grange) , there was always a massive fight kicking off there(the Wayside )on a Saturday night. The polis were never away from the place!
Those 2 on the scooters at the start looked proper rough. Definitely after the camera. 😱🤣
🤣🤣
What a strange pub that marksman was wierd guy saying he's gunna grab ya bag 😂😂 Another great video tho mate contents getting better and better with each video hopefully 50k subs by the time next video comes 🎉🎉
Free pint off a Scot you must be popular hahaha
It was of me
I got free booze when Celtic played in Sydney
Back@Kieran ,
Ive bought many an English guy a pint and never wanted back , although wasnt ever offered back are i found a right tight fisted lot in England and why im happy to be back in Scotland staying .. Prices in Scotland are much dearer though , id grudge paying £4 plus a pint , they are much cheaper in England for drink likes though depends what part of England your in as London for instance id never go as never liked there many yrs ago so unfriendly .
As for Leith much has changed . But fishing in Scotland also i missed another reason why i came back to stay in Scotland . But prices in Scotland for drink are over the top these days since they also through Snp stopped happy hrs in Scotland nd put prices of alcohol up in Scotland regards health reasons supposedly
Just so lovable 🤣
If an Englishman offers myself a beer in a bar then im tking it and then ill dance the Highland fling
ill dance the Highland fling as its not often an English person shall buy a drink for a Bonnie Scotsman .
But the other way around Scots do buy odd drinks to English people why is that u may think .
Well us Scots are a better people as simple as and sure u enjoyed your free pint bought you from a Scot also .
Were used to being kind hearted people in Scotland . but in England opposite shy away not as friendly or open and very sly way you go about things in England . But if ever next time im in England and receive a beer ill come back onto tell you about it ok..But i wouldnt hng my hat on such 😁
That arch where you seen the free bike was built by oliver Cromwells army in the 17th century
Is that not Dr Bell's School? Built late 1830's.
That first pub was the Vine bar! I’ve had a scrap outside that gaff! 😂 I noticed you never went in!
Not sure the Marksman is the roughest, but certainly up there! I love Leith, right good mix of people.
A comedian once said, Leith Walk is the evolution of man, from the Marksman to the more gentrifed pubs up the top of the walk.
well that was a close call, my brother and me were in leigh about 35years ago, only briefly. Only went to visit an uillean pipe player. so didnt get to see the rough pubs.
Should of ventured out
As dodgy areas in Britain and the States go, Leith is very tame. I quite like it.
This channel is the best! It is what it is from Texas, man 😂
Cheers pal 👍🍺
Used to love drinking Guinness in pubs years ago getting to old to deal with the hangovers so just drink pepsi and play darts when in pubs hard to find dart boards in pubs now with a lot of them shutting down hope to meet the legend lad mr honest places wish i had a mate like you you seem a good lad got rid of my mates because they were just using me as a cash machine always asking me for money like i was a loan bank
the Grail sketch was brill lol
Stayed there about 20 years ago while working in Edinburgh.
The B&B was owned by a guy and he had his mate working for him.
We would go down to breakfast and they were all prepped with the food and on the whisky alreay.
We'd then get back about 5 or 6pm and the guys were pissed af! 😂😂😂
Really good, clean digs and really good breakfast.
👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣mint thay
@@honestplaces
Aye, stayed in one overlooking Leith Links, was called McAnair awesome
Foot Of The Walk is my drinking hole, metres away from The Marksmen. Duke Street not a bad wee street 👍 Great wee barbers there too, his razors are safe 😂
Its a pity there's Copyright infringement rules for background music on youtube, but some of those pubs were playing awesome songs!
What a cool city! Would love to visit someday. Your videos always make me want to go and explore the British Isles. Keep it up mate!
Still one of my favourite UA-camrs 👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hey man 😎...been watching n now subscribed cos your channel n content is...... hangin 🤘.
Well done for finding Scottish people in Edinburgh, especially in Leith, which is more like Poland these days.
On rainy boring days in Edinburgh, you can actually walk around the city playing Spot The Scot trying to beat the record of 11 set in 2019. Best of luck trying to beat that in Edinburghski.
Hi there. Are you going to be offering any merch?
Really enjoy your vids.
🤣🤣 not planned to!
That old Scottish guy must have recommended the Marksman cos he was angry that England had won and saw it as his chance to get his own back on an Englishman.
Tbh I was up in Edinburgh back in March and some of the folk I talked to were really warm except none of them were Scottish. So much diversity there that one was Australian, a few were American. And they were very affable and warm. But I can't make a fair comment on the Scots since I never really crossed paths with any.
I get the feeling that if you get on their good side, they'll treat you like family. Get on their bad side and they'll throw you to the dogs. No half measures. Not something I'm a fan of, I prefer some balance
Yeh probs true mate 🤣🤣
Bolt ya rocket
@@BlowinFreeseconds on that
@@BlowinFree You tell me to bolt my rocket when Scotland cannot even bolt a football to the back of football net. Some warriors. If you had that much man in you such easy practical tasks wouldn't be so beyond ya
@@cultfiction3865You didn't cross paths with any Scottish people while in Edinburgh? Are you sure you were actually in Edinburgh mate? Or did you just ignore all the Scottish people?
You really ought to give Barnsley a visit. Especially Wellington Street.
Is on the list 👍
Hi. I have a drink every time you say, "It is what it is." I'm now a full blown alcoholic, after three of your videos. It is what it is, I suppose.
Probs be in hospital after 4 vids 🤣
Yip another repetitive saying that gits on my Fekin nerves. Try the Gunners pub if it's still going (muirhouse) it WAS the hardest pub in town or was it in (Pennywell)
I went to Leith Academy and haven't lived in Edinburgh for 30 years, I didn't recognise half the streets you were on
Awesome a bit of sunshine on Leith i always wondered where the proclaimers was singing about and you didn't even split the G. Them holy drinks are a bit dodgy they would have doubled up as charlie in that rough pub.
Last time I was in Central bar which was June a lady came in with a Xmas tree and stuffed panda 😂
Love those places
Holy grale ! brill well funny 😂
🤣 cheers pal
Thanks for coming to Leith, sorry about the Marksman bro. Not always that bad. Haste ye back. From a born n bred leither
Thanks!
Cheers pal. Really appreciate 👍🍺🍺🍺
Underrated channel mate, Aberdeen Perth, and Dundee next!
Cheers pal, appreciate it. Deffo morr scotland vids
why did that lad start on you? was it cause you're English? lmao
He started on him because he wasn't a hibs fans and also he was much cleaner and dressed well not like that pure junkie tramp.
Or because England won
I think it might be because he was filming and hes english.
Of course it's because he's English. Typical bollocks and a shame some Scots have a massive chip on their shoulders in this respect.
To be honest what would you expect? Surely nobody's surprised that an English guy walks into the roughest pub and gets some gip? If ye look for idiots you will find idiots it's no hard!
Hey, a Scot here in Ontario Canada, enjoy your content. You should definitely visit Dundee and do a video! That's where my family live 🙏
I was a Field Service engineer on Gaming machines and Juke boxes, worked in every pub in Edinburgh and never a problem, mainly becasue I was a licenced engineer , but you never visited any of the the five trouble pubs in Leith Even I felt a bit threatend though protected by my licence to work and the owner
Get yourself to Grimsby and into the barge 👌🍻
I don't think so, drank there 40 years ago. A cocktail bar compared to some pubs in Leith.
My fave pub in Edinburgh has to be the Royal Oak and also the captains bar ❤️❤️
I know that you loved the diamond & the pony club in ulster!!!
Bangin
Looks pretty tame compared to some places in Sydney. The toughest thing there is probably the beer. I'd prefer a stockton slap to a Guinness no offence.
