3 more handy shortcuts for getting around Edinburgh

[@MargieFord]

Thank you so much for these shortcuts and in fact all of your info. We have just spent a week in Edinburgh and used so much of your content. Here’s to you !! 😊 I was born in Edinburgh and have visited twice before in the 54 years I have lived in Cape Town. My heart is full 🤩

[@susanfifer5744]

We did the same walk a few weeks back, enjoyed Edinburgh and the weather was sunny and lovely ❤️❤️❤️ and then Dublin, Dundee, Carlisle and back home to BC Canada .. It was lovely to show hubby where I was born and finding my granny’s apt on number 2 St Mary’s Street was awesome touching the blue door ❤️and feeling connected to my family … thx for your videos throughout the years as it helped me get my sense of direction

[@kristinem6118]

Lol 😅😂 buses again. Thank you for the short cuts

[@HB-jh2ik]

First watched your videos before we ever visited Edinburgh a few years ago. When we first arrived it felt like we had been before and that was thanks to you. Itwas amazing to follow the shortcuts and also look for all the hidden things we would never have seen if we had not watched you. I am a big history fan and love listening to all the facts too. Currently planning another trip in October, can’t wait to return.

[@jstringfellow1961]

As always, you are the best. Thank you so much. Truly do enjoy the tidbits and the short cuts .We need them. Now, if there is an underground tunnel leading from the Conservatory to the Kitchen, you can take your rope, wrench or other weapons with you in search of Col. Mustard or Miss Scarlett.

Tony ya legend 🥰🤗

[@Yorkie900]

I visited Edinburgh for the first time this April and absolutely loved it, what a great city. I so wish I had discovered your channel before. Great videos, easy to watch and so helpful and informative, love it.

[@m.scotty7199]

Thank you for more of your shortcuts for my trip. Be there in 4 days...

[@xJuulzz]

When we were in Edinburgh we actually stayed in one of the apartments of Advocate's close. It was such a central point we were amazed how easy everything was to find from there.

[@mcintyrethekiltedgunsmith1947]

I would like to say thank you for your videos. It helped out when we were in Edinburgh in April and helped out quite a bit knowing where I was at and how to get around a little bit more easier. Keep up the great work.

[@suetruchan7266]

WOW great time saves!

[@martyalbershardt8314]

What a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

[@littlerobc1]

Thanks Tony! I am on the train from Liverpool now, will be seeing your castle soon! Shortcuts will come in handy!

[@ClanBroonford]

Have a great trip.

[@MrsMinx50]

I've learned so much from watching your videos, I don't live a million miles away ( in between Glasgow and Edinburgh) but I'm enjoying getting to know Edinburgh more particularly through your channel, I struggle walking after an emergency op on my spine so these are excellent thank you look forward to seeing the next one 👍

[@suetruchan7266]

I too have trouble walking due Parkinsons but watching Tony's videos Edinburgh is #1 on my bucket list.

[@suetruchan7266]

We will be coming to Scotland at the end of August through mid September. Can hardly wait. Thanks to you Tony.

[@alisagardiner5869]

I have a phone full of notes from your videos . Thank you so much it will make our trip in July so much better . We are there July 1st to the 8th we are going to Rod Stewart on the 7th then off to Ireland on the 8th and I am going to keep an eye out for you . I would love to see you in person and thank you . I started watching 10 months ago with pen and paper in hand and can not believe our journey starts in less then 2 months . You are fantastic Tony thank you from Canada . Alisa. Oh one thing I really wanted to see was Holyrood Palace but there are Royals there the same week we are there so it is closed so I guess that means another trip back someday 😢

[@PaulaTempleton-hs7uh]

Thank you so much for your videos.

[@BrokenBackMountains]

Used to work at Castle terrace in the late 80s so knew quite a few shortcuts.

[@CazLouise]

I travelled there from liverpool last week and loved every minute of it. I can't wait to visit again 🙂

[@donaldperry4982]

Great information, Tony. Thanks for sharing.

[@terrilowe3530]

So helpful!

[@Jamacles1]

Went to Edinburgh for a holiday once :) it was very nice as I visited the castle and walked around the city

[@DaveyPalmer1]

Hello again Tony. Another helpful vid. Loved that little look you gave when you mentioned needing a permit to film in St.James - priceless! 😄

[@simonmcglary]

Your routes also avoid the worst of the crowds as well! Good for anyone with social anxiety issues!

[@triciaslater4783]

Very handy info! Thank you!

[@ericawaddle94]

Super helpful Tony! So grateful to you for helping me be able to walk around Edinburgh without my face in Google Maps!

[@steverock1182]

Well that's good timing my mate, we arrived last night with today and Sunday to "plod" around. Great show young fella, Rocky from Middlesbrough

[@jen_wren_x]

I’m from Edinburgh, and in 2021 I moved from Gilmerton to Hawick, in the Borders.. Due to missing all my immediate family. Obv mum, daughter & 4 brothers.. I was getting so lonely after my partner passed away.. (we where best pals tae) together since 2001-2013.. RIP Scott💙 And, my daughter had moved back & forward from mines to Hawick over that time period, as well as mum, brothers & myself Aw visiting each other..& aye they kept nagging at me to move doon to the Borders.. I gave up a huge 3 bedroom house, in a brand new cul-de-sac & omg, I miss it sooo much🥺🥺🥺 On the plus side though, I’m just minutes walk away from my mum & 1 wee brother! The bus to see my other 3 wee bro’s & daughter.. And we can still get buses up to Edinburgh for a few days, bc we’ve still got extended family like Aunties in Penicuik & Gracemount..& Oxgangs. So we can stay overnight.. 💙🥳 I love aw yer videos..esp the short cut 1’s bc it’s a fab wee city to get about on foot, or bike or buy a day saver & jump on & off buses..if yer lazy lol 😂😂 Take Care💙🎉 And Congrats on yer 2nd child which if I’m right was in 2021/2?? 💜👩🏻‍🍼👶🏻💜 (When you did an opening of the Baby Box) video, which id saw on an American You Tube channel on Scotland & the UK.. I’ve watched a couple of yer vids & they’re great so I’ve now subscribed!! 👍🏼🥰 Looking forward to watching your next vids.. Jen.❣️

[@JoeElliotSA]

Nice to see Auld Reekie. 👍

[@KarenBrown-ep7tn]

[@arthurkimpel4758]

Art,San Diego,California Thanks for helping me relive my memories from 2015 & 2017 visits (BC before covid). Went by many place from you videos. Very much appreciated !

[@pauliec327]

Absolutely adore your videos! So interesting and informative! Edinburgh is my favourite place to be, my partner and I cannot wait to be back there. Great videos and a great channel, keep up the good work! 😊

[@laurabachman9400]

[@bryancunningham5071]

Great video. Show New street over to Greenside area and the Omni centre... :)

[@petenoseworthy2939]

I do believe you showed us this one before my wife and myself was in Edinborough last year the reason that shortcut you gave us

[@ClanBroonford]

Probably on the closes of Edinburgh series.

[@Zandain]

Love me a good shortcut! Thanks, Tony 💙 hello from Denmark 🌸

[@seinfeldfan442]

Interesting short cut, great tour

[@davidabache9432]

Awesome thanks Tony really helpful. Four more weeks until I'm in Edinburgh! squeee

[@ingaborlowski1536]

Excellent helpful tips video. Whether we’re dreaming or planning (or both) a trip to Edinburgh, your fan base loves these videos. Always incredibly helpful from charting out where to stay, where to eat, etc & creating those mind maps. Thank you 👏👏👏

[@melovedamusic]

I walked down advocates close yesterday, 21/04… looking for you for three days now… I think you made these videos looong ago. 😋🤪

[@ClanBroonford]

Nope, filmed this yesterday at around 5 till 6 pm. You must have just missed me.

[@melovedamusic]

@@ClanBroonford Damn! I could have bought you a wee heavy at Abbotsford!

[@melovedamusic]

Are you in the area this afternoon at around 16:45’ish? Would like to thank you for the priceless information you share with us. 🙏

[@MrBart1965]

I would have bet money you would take the New Steps down from the Royal Mile. St. Giles Cafe is a lovely spot along the way. Love the vids!

[@ClanBroonford]

Done that one in a previous video.

[@slydermartin6008]

Ah there it is. I'm watching the video but something just felt "off"....then "The Ramble" and all else is good with the world! 👀

[@pollyduron674]

I am glad of your shortcuts for my trip next spring. I walked the long way from Waverly to The Royal Mile. It would have been nice to know the shortcut. 😅

[@MrCherryJuice]

FYI - This is actually only 2 more handy shortcuts as you did Advocates Close in a previous 3 Handy Shortcuts from a year ago. Other shortcuts to consider: Chambers Street (museum) down to Cowgate via Guthrie Street; Infirmary Street down the the Cowgate (passing Blackwell's Bookshop and Dovecote Studios, both offering eats); Royal Mile to St. James/top of Leith Street/Playhouse via New Street (by Adagio Hotel and the Canons' Gait) then left onto Calton Rd. is nine quiet mins. Would also be useful for folk to know the various entrances/exits to Waverly Station including - The Waverley Steps; - via Waverley Mall; - via Market Street (w/Fleshmarket Close, Warriston Close, Advocates Close, and the News Steps providing shortcuts from the High Street); - via Calton Road (so many people, even locals are unaware of this rear entrance. You could point out where the footbridge once extended from Jeffrey Street to that entrace; there stone foundation base is still at the station end. Cheers.

[@treelimbtlc]

That was perfect Tony. Thank you so much for sharing those. They will come in very handy.

[@tiinahamalainen4071]

Is the St James Center still called the Colden Jobby? Love Edinburgh.

[@Steve-Duh-Rino]

Your calmed-voiced commentaries are a peaceful way to start off a Saturday morning. You would easily fit in in the American South

[@sandybutton243]

Many ways leads to Rome... or from Old Town to New Town and vice versa. Next time: The News Steps 😉

[@petenoseworthy2939]

Hey Tony as you're walking can you turn down King stable Road and if you look up at the castle there's a doorway that you can see from the road what is that doorway can you find out and let us know very interested thought you would know cuz it's your Castle

[@grierj.s.485]

How about a short cut from the Lyceum to the Grassmarket.

[@carausiuscaesar5672]

Do you have a short cut between Grassmarket and the nearest Greggs?

[@ClanBroonford]

Yeah, but they are just for me. Lol

[@chriswitt5890]

Hey there, are there any parts of Edinburgh one should avoid?

[@Jamacles1]

Ooh I’m the 400th like!

[@ClanBroonford]

That's cool. Thanks so much.

[@jastoddart]

fishmarket close

[@russmeans]

Tony, you need to make a Shortcuts of Edinburgh map or an app and sell them. You would make a mint!

[@allysonrollitt210]

How ridiculous that you’re not allowed to film in the st James “mall”. Surely you’re advertising the area and the powers that be should be pleased of the publicity… crazy x

[@Rain-Peters]

Hey Tony. Give your wife and daughter a hug for me. Any names picked for your son?

[@ClanBroonford]

We have a couple of options.

[@Rain-Peters]

@@ClanBroonford Anthony has to be in there somewhere no?

[@ClanBroonford]

Not at all.

[@PaulaTempleton-hs7uh]

Thank you so much for your videos.
