A Different Edinburgh - Exploring Its BEST Coastal Secrets

[@arthuramado9545]

Great summer weather! Love the sunlight. Thanks for sharing these amazing places!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks so much for watching. It was a gorgeous day for a walkabout! 😀

[@kellybrown8638]

Another Wonderful Video ❤❤❤❤

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thank you so much, Kelly.

That chippy at the harbour was definitely a Harry Ramsdens, certainly when I lived in Leith as a student back in 1996.. interesting wander around an area I often overlooked. I stayed in Pilrig just off Leith Walk think it was Spey Street.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks, once again, for sharing your memories! 😀 Things have changed so much since 1996 (we moved to Edinburgh in 1993). ☺️

[@LetsMakeaTrip]

Really enjoying your vids Roger and this was one of the best. I’m going to visit Leith next time I’m up there now (which I guess is the point!). Nice one 😊👍

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks so much, Mark. Much appreciated. Next time you come to Edinburgh, let me know and I’ll come and meet you! 😀

[@garymacdonald7165]

Great video mate! Edinburgh has a spectacular 12 mile coast line from the 3 Forth bridges at South Queensferry,all the way round to Portobello! Visitors must go there,as well as the other famous bits of the city!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@RichardOldroyd-s7n]

Many moons ago we stayed at a hotel just off Newhaven harbour. We went to Leith port but we did not go into the town. Maybe we'll have to go back.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Definitely worth coming back. So much to see. Thanks for watching. 😀

[@cathybonner7888]

Hi Roger I wasn't aware of Newhaven Harbour or Portobello Beach. I'm planning on coming up to Scotland/Edinburgh one day and I'm grateful for this video. One of my work colleagues visited Leith in September, may have to stay longer than a weekend!!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

The Shore at Leith has become a real centre for great cafes, bars and restaurants and is well worth spending some time there. Thanks for watching!

[@richardturnbull6333]

Hey Lad.... Roger you have Absolutely Nailed it with this video......you have sorted out my visit on October 22nd. God your a star and your timing is perfect..... cheers my friend..... belting video 😊 Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Fingers crossed you get similar weather! 🤔

[@ritr-S]

You're such a darling! Loved this video. I'll be back in April and looking forward to some fish and chips near the harbor.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Enjoy your trip and thanks for watching! 😀

[@LauraGargiulo]

you read my mind, Rog!! I was planning my next visit in Edinburgh (in April, so far!) and I don't want to miss Portobello, Newhaven and The Shore. I'm so surprised you succeded to make them in one day. I always forget that Edinburgh is a tiny pretty jewel, from the Castle to the North Sea. amazing, thank you Rog!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks Laura. I reckon I did the the video in just over 3 hours - so with a full day you definitely get to see more (and spend some time in one of the cafes, bars or restaurants). 😀

[@LauraGargiulo]

@@RogEdwardsTV Amazing, thank you!

[@LauraGargiulo]

@rogEdwardTV I have a last question: do you think it's a long way to walk from The Shore towards Newhaven?

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Laura you can do that walk in 30-40 minutes tops. It’s not too far.

[@LauraGargiulo]

@@RogEdwardsTV thank you

[@jimwilson4651]

Great video Roger but how times have changed! When I went to school in Leith in the 70's there weren't any deli's, Michelin starred restaurants, or independent coffee shops

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks Jim. Leith has totally transformed over the last 15 years for sure.

[@FranP93]

I'm glad you can get to Leith by tram now. When I stayed in Edinburgh back in 2019, one day I walked all through fom Princess street to Leith and another day I took courage and walked from Canongate to Portobello beach. As you may realize I love walking and don't regret doing it as it was worth visiting those picturesque places.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

It's great to have the tram as I tend to walk one way and get the easy way back (or vice versa).

[@robp4682]

Great Video

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks!

[@Alan.92n]

Thanks Roger for highlighting Newhaven, Leith & Portobello. Will definitely need to spend a few days exploring the "other" Edinburgh! Appreciated also the tips for the full English/coffee/bacon rolls!! Nice one! 😊 👍

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Cheers, Alan.

[@kellybrown8638]

Haven means Port in Nederlands

[@cathybonner7888]

PS we have Newhaven Harbour here in Sussex England near to where I live too. It's where you can get on a ferry to Dieppe in France and buy fresh fish. Thanks for sharing this Roger

[@RogEdwardsTV]

I didn't know there was another Newhaven Harbour until I started doing the tags for the video! 😊

[@martinstilton1535]

That's a typical lazy Sunday for us, going to the Shore and Newhaven! Next time you're there you should check out the Irish Dude on Ocean Drive, he does great coffee too! Nothing against Porty, but it is usually too busy! Do like the Cullen Sink in Miro's though

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Cheers, Martin. Thanks for the tip on Irish Dude. 😀

[@Jaydenonthetrain]

Went to Edinburgh on the sleeper earlier this year and gutted I missed out on this fantastic harbour! Maybe next time. :)

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Next time for sure! 👌🏻Thanks for watching.

[@red.guevarra]

Who needs Côte d'Azur when you've got Edinburgh! Seriously, in the summer it actually just might offer a better value: all of the comforts and none of the rowdy crowds. That fish-n-chips stand sealed the deal for me. Poke!

[@RogEdwardsTV]

The weather just isn’t consistent enough that’s the problem. But yes, Edinburgh sparkles in the sun! ☀️

[@Raymanfanboy]

I'd gladly go here to see William Wallace 🙏🌹

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Thanks for watching. I visited The Wallace Monument in Stirling in an earlier video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKuWhJWXjtp6rpI 😀

[@Raymanfanboy]

@@RogEdwardsTV I know I have watched the splendour of you walking right up those winding stairs I walked up in September I am English born but I really love Scottish history Wallace is my icon I have lived in Glasgow for 13 year's and only just 4 month's ago had I opened my eyes to how beautiful Scotland is.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Great stuff!

[@cabottaxi]

You should do some other reviews around Edinburgh by district. Try out some local restaurants. Cramond village would be a great start and what about Colinton Village , Hillend or South Queensferry? Rather than buying a day ticket on the phone I believe you can tap a bank card as many times as you like and it won't go above £4.80.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Great ideas. Might be my winter projects for when the days are shorter. Cramond is a good shout.

[@cabottaxi]

@@RogEdwardsTV Colinton village nice as well and the famous painted tunnel. Swanston Village smart looking and South Queensferry for its views of the bridges. Of course you could be a different blogger and do the roughest parts of Edinburgh . That would be an eye opener.

[@RogEdwardsTV]

@cabottaxi 👍

[@fitetuacontramano]

Hi friend, could you tell me if there is a mobile app for buying Edinburgh tram tickets? Thank you very much 😉

[@RogEdwardsTV]

Yes there is. Just search for either “Lothian Buses” or “Edinburgh Trams” in the App Store! 😀
