5 random things to spot in Edinburgh

[@stuvahstuvah1968]

Just gonna pop a wee thank you comment down here, I’ve been living away from Edinburgh for a wee while now as I’m serving in the army but your videos keep me smiling when I’m getting a wee bit home sick, I’ve learnt a lot of little facts about Edinburgh that i tell to the mrs or my friends when i rarely get to come back up to the best wee city on the planet, cheers for helping keep the homesick blues a bay

[@ClanBroonford]

Your very welcome. I'm glad they help you have a wee bit of home with you. And thank you.

[@jstringfellow1961]

Love it. Couldn't be more fun. This is the type of thing people generally love. Thank you.

[@brianstark3578]

yes, love this beautiful city.

[@lorik7591]

Great idea for a video! I loved these little tidbits. Thanks so much.

[@janettesinclair6279]

This was a great fun video, Clan Broonford. Next time I am in Edinburgh, I will check these out, just for the fun of it.

[@margaretmancuso5079]

Thanks for the fun video Tony.

[@stephaniemaloney4324]

OMG Tony! My family stayed in that flat on the Cowgate! Tour busses would pull up to my kitchen window. So fun!

[@davidearl2038]

Great video. I love random stuff like this. Watched a few of your videos now, really enjoyed them and look forward to seeing more. Have subbed! ATB Dave.

I love the blue person on the building - makes me smile every time I walk past it! And I'd never spotted the curtains on the outside of that building - I'm going to take a look at them next time I go to Princes Street.

[@lindahart6049]

Another great video!

The cow was there before the cow parade in 2006. That bar used to be called Nectar bar, we uses to drink under age there in at least 2004/2005 and the cow was there then

Hi Tony, I visited Edinburgh on Saturday and went to the Botanic Gardens, but I'll need to come back next week (from Fife) to look for all your 'random' things. Well done for giving us a laugh with your informative videos. Gordon Taylor.

Interesting story when we arrived in Scotland for the first time. We arrived in Edinburgh and we were at Waverley station and then my husband got hit with bird poop on his shoulder. It must have been good luck because we had an amazing time in Edinburgh!

[@aprilsmith1166]

The Council offices with the cows on the roof also have a 7' man near the front entrance on Waverley Court, easily seen from East Market Street as it stands on a tall ladder-type structure. He's supposed to represent the ordinary person and is familiarly called Joe Public.

I'm in Edinburgh durring this weekend. I've seen that cow in two parts. Funny 🤣 Speaking about funny things. Do you remember that wall with cannon ball. I've spotted something else. There is something like kind of black electricity box with attached cables. It's C4 been written on it. 😜. Cheers for massive amounts of tips from beautiful Edinburgh.

Keep up good work 👏

[@amygreen4408]

Thank you for another prompt to renew my passport!! Gotta see the cooo-ooo! 😀

[@skinheadsoulbhoy2858]

I used to frequent bamnermans in the Cowgate also sued a gig there, I was a well Kent face roon there

[@tinapower9533]

Edinburgh is one of my favourite places to visit because I like ghost hunting

[@CiaraS206]

We visited Edinburgh last week. Before we went, I watched your videos to figure out where stuff was and things to do etc. Now I'm watching going "oh I know where that is" 😂 Can't wait to go back!

[@ClanBroonford]

That is awesome!

[@tinakrigar8220]

We are in your city currently Visited you castle yesterday Hope to see you out wondering around while we are hete

[@macscotsman51]

Hi from Southern California 👍👍👍

[@ClanBroonford]

Good morning!

[@petenoseworthy2939]

Enjoyable thank you

[@ClanBroonford]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lindawallace5048]

So random, I love it 😁, really enjoyed this really made me laugh out loud. We came across the cow in the wall and both commented at the same time” There’s a cow in the wall! “ It’s this type of thing that makes you think life’s quite normal and I’m not loosing my mind 😂

[@gordontaylor3489]

Hi Tony, I'm in Edinburgh today and have spotted your 5 random 'things'; but on my way down to Holyroodhouse, I spotted what looks like another well-head (dated 1817) opposite Whitefoord House... can you shed any light? Gordon Taylor.

[@mirella7023]

Loved the beginning where we the viewers were on the ground just chilling and you picked us up like oh hello let's go! 😂😍

[@debbiedennison]

The curtains hung on the outside of the building was so funny!

[@janetholmes2716]

Myself and my son visited Edinburgh in January and we spotted a zebra inside a building as we were going back to our hotel 🦓

[@janetholmes2716]

The building was called Quarter-mile one I think 🤔 (Lauriston place ...)

[@paul10hats5]

One day I hope to see the most random sight of all in Edinburgh...A free-roaming Tony!

[@speugthepiper3384]

Artisan bagpipe makers still do most of it by hand so every instrument is slightly different as opposed to the mass produced pipemakers who use computer controlled machinery to produce a higher volume of identical instruments.

[@queencioch160]

World's End Pub ... like the movie with Simon Pegg about the pub walk ending at the World's End Pub? Fantastic movie anyhow. Thanks for the walk about Edinburgh

[@shannonbillington2528]

I can't wait to come to your beautiful city next week and show off all of the new found facts about Edinburgh to my family. I'm so excited to be rocking your Edinburgh I'm here for a wonder t-shirt on the train on the way up north 😁 great quality tee I definitely think I need another one.

[@ClanBroonford]

Thank you so much.

[@russmeans]

Fun Tony! We want more random!

[@janinestearns7288]

That was fun, Tony!

[@ingaborlowski1536]

The curtains outside the windows most different & interesting part perhaps. All of them were most enjoyable 🙋‍♀️😊

[@ClanBroonford]

I think so too!

[@tipstertricks]

Bit of research the cow on the cowgate is there as there was a law cattle couldn’t be driven through the city streets but in 1490 cowgate wasn’t part of Edinburgh so was exempt from the rule which meant people used the street to sell cattle at the grass market. The blue man/woman I am lead to believe is just random art during lockdown.

[@aprilsmith1166]

The cow used to be painted entirely gold before its current colour scheme.

[@jon1997pool]

C - ow! Cow in two parts. 😂 I walked through there a few years ago and saw the tunnel but missed the cow. Love your castle town!!

[@wordgirl8100]

In reference to ... the building with the erected/demolished sign ... thought it was kind of cool that you captured on video, from elsewhere, a casted shadow of a crown ... given no doubt it was a historical building casting the crown shadow on the building of your random historical sign; that wasn’t blue with udders climbing up the wall and turning a corner ... 🤣😂🤣 sadly I laugh at what’s cool and funny at the same time when taking your random and becoming more creatively random with it. Oh my.

[@Zandain]

🤣 I have noticed 2/5 while visiting the City, never thought they were anything, but a bit of humoristic fun! 🤣 and they are!..funny, they make you smile, even on a rainy day 😝😉 hello from Denmark 🌸❄

[@janinestearns7288]

You could stop in at the Waverly & ask them about the blue man. Their ornamentation on the columns around the door suggest a Greek theme with a head crowned with a ring of leaves.

[@carausiuscaesar5672]

Maybe it is an ad for the Blue Man Group.

[@P_Luke_12345]

Tobias Fünke.

[@genetucker4768]

Visited your city a few years ago and am planning a return with my granddaughter next March , could you show more of the scenery and less of you and please when you pan around , do it slowly . I have been watching you for several years. , and enjoy you very much.

[@mairimillar8866]

More historical randoms, please 🙏💞

[@tipstertricks]

Could you do a video on places and things to do a quick tram/bus trip away from the centre

[@LiqdPT]

It seems relevant that the cow is at the corner of Niddry and the Cowgate. You don't actually say "Cowgate" here

[@jamierobinson2338]

Great video!! I'm going to find all these when I go in 2023! Also, you didn't mention the leprechaun below the blue man? Is he random or is that part of the Waverly signage?

[@gordontaylor3489]

PS, I'm sure that I've already subscribed to your channel, but if I haven't... consider it done.

[@jastoddart]

does the cow still pass gas?
