Solo Trip to Edinburgh

Solo Trip to Edinburgh & the Scottish Highlands
Solo travelling has become one of my favorite pastimes over the past few years, and to me Edinburgh is the perfect city for anyone looking to take a solo trip.
In fact, I liked visiting Scotland so much that I extended my trip at the last minute so I could squeeze in a day tour of the highlands.

Seeing places I went to on my trip to Scotland, this past April, is so nice. Hope you enjoyed your trip. I know I did. It was my first time ever leaving the US, and I chose to spend two weeks in Scotland, and the Highlands tour was so worth it. I also did the trip alone, and even though it would’ve been nice to go with someone I had the time of my life. I’d go again for sure. 😁

Living the dream. 🙂 Life rarely comes to us, we have to get out there and explore it. Lovely video.

[@albin2232]

Nice video, Emily. After I left my very international job, I was in a position to live anywhere in Europe, the US and Canada. I chose Edinburgh for my own reasons, and still love it.

I LOVED visiting Edinburgh and the Highlands. Thank you for this video, it was so much fun!

Heading to Edinburgh today for the weekend and can't wait 🇮🇪.

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

glad you loved my home city! If you come back again try the open top bus tour they show you all the places and you can get on and off as often as you like ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love this vlog so relaxing definitely have to visit Edinburgh when I visit Ireland make it a extended trip I love how you can get around by train and walk most places hopefully ❤️

I loved Edinburgh when I visited! This makes me want to go back 💛

Solo travel is amazing, I took my first solo travel abroad last week. I went to Paris, like you said, I meet new people all the time , people came up to me and started conversations. It’s such a wonderful experience traveling alone, complexity, you can do whatever you want , there’s no attachment. I’m looking forward to my next solo adventure. Thank you for sharing your video 👍

[@idahoroots]

I love your videos and you sharing all your travel tips! You’re helping me plan for mine!

[@sandybutton243]

❤❤❤❤ Love your vlog. Can't wait to be back in Edinburgh this July. Cheers from Germany

[@emily_meadows]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy your trip!

[@ellesteward]

This was such a wonderful vlog!! I loved your video so much! I did a similar solo Edinburgh trip years ago and this was very nostalgic to watch:)

[@scotf7313]

Anyone coming to Edinburgh should take the tram down to Newhaven and walk from there up Leith to Princes Street.

Hi! I’m planning a day trip with my daughter who’ll be 18months when we come to Edinburgh in April 25, I was wondering if Scotland is easy to travel around via public transports. I’m planning on getting the coach from London, arriving early morning. First stop getting breakfast at going to Calton Hill, then strolling through the town before heading to the zoo then back to the city for ice cream and dinner before our coach back to London at 9:30pm If you have any other child/toddler friendly ideas I’d love to hear!

[@emily_meadows]

Hi, I’m not sure about Scotland as a whole, but Edinburgh’s public transport is pretty good. Although I did mostly just walk everywhere. Hope you have a good trip, sounds like you have some nice things planned!

[@cathybonner7888]

Hi Emily, I've found your channel as I want to explore Edinburgh on my own. Not quite sure when mind you but the city looks great and full of history

[@IcedOatMilkLatte]

Your hotel room looked lovely! Can I know where you stayed? I'm wanting to book a hotel in Edinburgh too!

[@emily_meadows]

It was the Premier Hub Haymarket!

[@IcedOatMilkLatte]

@@emily_meadows thank you so much!🙏♥️

[@LisaMango0]

Ahh i love this! Been there last year with my bf. This year ill probably go on my first solo trip ever to Edinburgh again. Do you per chance happen to know the name/location of the tour to the highlands??

[@emily_meadows]

Yes, it was through Timberbush tours and it was the Loch Ness and Glencoe tour.

[@jamesrowe3606]

I enjoyed this, thanks. It was especially nice that you didn't keep banging on about Harry Potter, as most American vloggers seem to do. You recognised that there's a lot more to Edinburgh than the castle and JK Rowling, great writer and feminist that she undoubtedly is.

[@dalmatianspots7454]

You got lucky with the Kilted Dohut. I was looking it up for when I go to Edinburgh in a few weeks. Google says the it's "permanitly closed" now.......bummer!

[@albin2232]

The Royal Mile is the most boring street in Edinburgh! You've got the Palace at one end, and the Castle at the other, but everything in between is unremarkable.

[@alejandrorodriguez4189]

Should of done more exploring when I visited last month 😊, was very amazed at everything I saw and the food was good ❤

[@eugeniastravels8954]

Wonderful video. I love Edinburgh

[@bonvoyage5377]

Hi Emily, enjoyed the vlog, you seemed to have fun. Was wondering if the job hunting was still in progress, or have you secured something

[@emily_meadows]

Thanks for asking! I’m posting an update in next week’s video.

[@gmagain]

did that hotel have cold AC in the rooms? to me that is a must even when traveling during winter. finding a hotel in edinburgh that is budget friendly but with ac is so hard!

[@emily_meadows]

I don’t think I used it so I can’t say for sure, but in my experience Premier Hubs tend to have AC.

[@951125Mallika]

That's an absolutely beautiful quilted jacket - would you mind sharing where you purchased it?

[@emily_meadows]

Thanks, it’s from Barbour, but I purchased it second-hand from Depop.

[@marymeadows6124]

Great video - now I want to go to Edinburgh!

[@steephaniieeeee]

What phone or camera did you film this on? Also im gojng in october, im assuming rhe weather will be similar, what did your layers consist of?

[@emily_meadows]

I filmed with the Sony ZV-1 and yes, layers will be your friend!

[@IsabelaOtanez]

Hi! I was wondering what is the name of the agency or place you booked the isle tour with?

[@emily_meadows]

Timberbush tours!

[@brightside2389]

[@emily_meadows]

Enjoy your trip! I was there at the end of March, so I’m sure the weather has gotten quite a bit warmer.

[@DB-stuff]

You should have taken a train through to Glasgow, they have ahighland cow fold in one of their huge parks at Pollok, it also I cludes the Burrell museum

[@linajurgensen4698]

i don't need someone from England telling me about Edinburgh as i live there

Marie, sweetie, you’re probably an snp person aren’t you? You give Scotland and Scots such a bad name far too often unfortunately. Please stop embarrassing yourself and the rest of us with it.

I really want to be a citizen of your country.
