Wow, you packed a lot into those 2 days, and into this 22 minute vlog 😀 Really enjoyed this, even though Edinburgh is right next to where we live. Its always great to see what others enjoy about visiting the city.
Always nice to see visitors enjoy Edinburgh, though a word of warning: despite the tendency of visitors to do so, do not touch the nose of Greyfriars Bobby - that is a no-no. While the Old Town, which runs from the castle at the top of the Royal Mile down to the Palace of Holyrood House at the bottom, offers much to experience, unfortunately, too many focus on just that area. There is also the New Town (which includes St. Andrews Square, location of the bus station) though the gardens running the length of Queen St. (a one-minute walk beyond St. Andrews Square) create a border beyond which few visitors seem to venture, aside from those who find their way down to Dean Village, though the route they often take (Queensferry Street) bypasses the great streets, circuses and crescents lined with Georgian architecture that are must sees. Indeed, had you turned left out of your hotel you would have had a whole other experience with Calton Hill and the views from there as well as the regal architecture of the homes on Regents Terrace. Hopefully you will return for a more in-depth visit...and have some nice weather (though Edinburgh is fine under grey skies or sunshine).
Thank you for the feedback. So much we didn’t get to do due to time or the fact that some of the hikes would have been a bit to much for my parents. What a beautiful place with so much history and we can’t wait to go back and experience so much more.
