I really admire you both, you are very energetic; Those phone booths are reminiscent of the movie: Superman; Unexpectedly, the buildings from five or six hundred years ago are still there; Everything on the castle is beautiful, thanks for sharing！👍😃🙏 真心佩服你們倆位，非常有活力；那些電話亭讓人想起電影～超人； 沒想到五六百年前的建築物還在；城堡上的一切都很美，謝謝分享！

My wife and I enjoy watching your travel videos. We particularly get a kick out of the ones from places we too have been. Have you created a video that covers the technology that you are currently using? If not, it would be interesting to see how you produce your videos on the go.

[@KennyG-qh8jc]

Why?

[@oleg232]

@@KennyG-qh8jc Because in those days there was a very small population, there were very few resources, it was very hard, difficult, dangerous and very short life for people (average life expectancy was less than 30 years). And in such a time to build such structures - it's just amazing!

[@KennyG-qh8jc]

3 degrees C = 37 degrees F… can’t imagine How cold it must be with a strong wind… but accommodations are cheap as August is rediculous expensive… I was going to fly buisness class but $ 4000 is way too much for me.. economy it torture but at lest I’ll have money left over for tours and souvenirs lol

Don't worry, it's pronounced "Co-burn" not "Cockburn" (though it is a highly amusing and sweet but easy mistake to make!). We Scots can swear but we have classy street names ;)

[@Angie-fe8yd]

😀 your comment made me laugh outloud😁💕

[@ianmcsherry5254]

Another spelling you'll find is "Colburn", most often as a surname. It's pronounced the same way, except in that case the "L" is silent. 👍

I am fascinated by the choices you and Carol have made. By going to Scotland and visiting a castle, going through the old districts. I found it funny when you said it was 3 degrees outside, welcome to my world as it gets colder then that. It was such a lovely place to visit. I was just awe struck. I have missed you both very much. My health was not doing so well, but I am watching and dealing with depression makes it hard to enjoy much. Lanette and I still rank you both #1 in our book and am impressed. You went from one end of the world to the other, in a short period of time, kind of lost me. prayers to you both Chris and Carol.

[@johnhall1962]

@@duggio666 Hey man. I live in Edinburgh and would definitely recommend you come. If you want some local information, there's a few things I can add to the video... 1) There is a huge festival in August for all types of culture (music, theatre, art), which you may enjoy, but it is also very busy during those times. 2) Try to climb Arthur's Seat (the tallest hill in the city), which should take less than an hour to get up, as it's not as big as it looks. The view from up there is stunning. 3) Finally, I recommend you walk around the New Town. The video mainly focused on the really old part of Edinburgh, but the slightly newer, Victorian streets and parks are so elegant, and usually quite quiet. Amy questions, do ask!

[@duggio666]

@@johnhall1962 Thank you for your recommendations; they sound enticing. My vision is to spend a week or two exploring the city and the immediate surrounding, especially the walkable surroundings. I thoroughly enjoy exploring cities on foot, meeting locals, and returning to the same restaurants and such several times to get a sense of the heart of the city. Edinburgh looks stunning. What time of year is the best to visit, weathwise?

@@duggio666 You'll be pleased to hear that the city is very easy to walk around, easier than London or Glasgow. The weather is best in May-July.
