Edinburgh, Scotland - 17 June 1989 - (1 of 2)

I grew up in Edinburgh during the 80's and your video brought back so many happy memories. That was probably Prince's Street during its heyday. When it was worth heading down town. Now it's sadly just a shadow of its former self. All the iconic buildings have since disappeared.

I went to Royston Primary back in 80s

before tourism ruined Edinburgh, it's quite strange now to see normal civilian traffic go along princes street. Great nostalgic video.

Can't believe how quiet looks

15:20 Granton gas works. I miss seeing all three of them. They really dominated the north Edinburgh skyline.

I was aged 8 on the 16th June, 1 day before this video was made ❤

If the date is correct, my twin and I were born not far from here, two weeks later. Wild.
