“Keep it cozy. Keep it safe.” Definitely what Gandalf meant.

[@MerryRaven]

stunning shots of Edinburgh 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@shanchat]

Firstly, that shot down the Royal Mile to Berwick Law is stunning. Secondly this is a great city even when it's raining and dark. It's still pretty. i saw Puddings the other day. I will have to pop in now. Cool video. Hope you have warmed up and dried out.

[@nickyp310]

your videography is stunning.

[@KateLindsay_Kat]

Awesome! I hadn't heard about most of these places :) Thanks for sharing!!

[@Kakibot]

That means a lot from such a frequent visitor!!

[@johnpuntenney4596]

Pretty informative, thanks!

[@MrCherryJuice]

Wonderful! From your opening scene at Atholl Crescent I thought you might just head over to the corner of Stafford and William Streets, which is a great go-to for male and female clothes shopping (or looking). There is also a hair dresser, and on William Street there are various shops and eats including a Teuchters Bar (w/eats). It is a gem area, with Fopp the record shop just up around the corner. Also, have you ever considered videos of just scenery? The 'around town' and 'rooftop' shots in this video reveal the beautiful bleakness of Edinburgh in the rain (great music, too). They are so cinematic, like something straight out of a movie. The sunny day shots you capture in other videos are also great. Compilations of such vignettes would be wonderful. You videos and enthusiasm help keep my heart connected to the city I love. Thank you.

[@Kakibot]

I'm hoping to make a video about just West End sometime this year - the area is lovely! The clothing shops always catch my eye! The idea of making kind of a "just vibes" video is interesting - it is definitely my favourite type of footage to take! I'm gonna let the concept marinate a bit .)

[@angiemcdermid4845]

We are going to Shetland and Edinburgh in October. Haven’t been back for years. Thanks so much

[@marthawilson4775]

Great video! I’ll be in Edinburgh for five weeks this summer and will use your tips! Thanks so much.

[@davidpierce3217]

I liked the point of view of seeing the wet day as an opportunity :)

[@briandevitt6903]

Every time I watch one of your videos the quality of the production always leaves me very impressed. We will be visiting the City in June, fingers are crossed hoping it doesn't rain.

[@ΜΑΡΙΑΚΥΡΙΤΣΗ-ι2σ]

Wonderful video!!! Maria from Greece!!!

[@crumb6407]

very nicely done

[@michaelbrady9364]

Best thing to do on a wet day in Edinburgh. Go through to Glasgow 😂😂😂.

[@raymonkravagna3226]

I am 62 years old and from the USA and I am hoping to move to Edinburgh this year. I was born and raised in Seattle Washington. Very similar weather to Edinburgh so should be an easy transition for me.

[@bmworrell05]

I love the music!

[@kristinrae1]

My husband and I LOVE Hata! I dream of their porridge! 🤤

[@tashagraham7422]

The timing of this couldn’t have been better Kat!! 😅😂

[@emilyhutton1102]

Hey! Where is the jacket from that you're wearing at the start of the video? Which brand makes it? Love it!

[@ihatecrazyfrog]

Another amazing video :) cinematography on this one was crazy, loved it :)

[@Kakibot]

So happy it's appreciated! .)

[@dzsulien]

Hi, i really like your B rolls - especially your night shots, you make Edinburgh look so amazing! can i ask what camera are you using? 😊

[@Kakibot]

It's the Sony A7siii! .)

[@dantierandbalogh]

Oh, I better get saving then 😅 same person here ( I just didn't realize I commented with my burner account) we love your channel btw, keep it up! 👌Laz

[@jasongray4517]

Lovely stuff. We need a vlog for old farts like me on the subject of where to get the best cup of tea in Edinburgh. From a terribly old-fashioned Brit who doesn't like coffee.

[@dee-exotica]

Do they celebrate Valentines Day in Scotland??

[@seanmencik]

where are your earmuffs from?? they're absolutely adorable!!

[@dwi_ann]

Memang lucu sekali negara keren yang jarang punya musim panas (?) 😂 tapi percayalah saya bolak balik melihat walking tour dari para youtuber kalau negara ini layak dikunjungi meskipun hanya satu minggu ❤

[@simonmountney]

Those Taiwanese pastries were an awesome surprise! What else would you all recommend doing on a wet and windy day in Edinburgh?

[@Kakibot]

So obsessed with asian cafes of Edinburgh! Hope Pudding's does something special for Sakura season?

My wife is vegan and we're going there in May. I'm hoping to find many places with options for both her and my meat-and-potatoes loving family. Anyone have a good list? Also, I want her to experience a good pub for watching a football match in old reeky. Great video!

[@Kakibot]

I recommend checking out my relatively recent video on Vegan spots in Edinburgh - they are all 100% vegan BUT you might be surprised with the selection and just general scrumptiousness of their offering! .)

[@BradBowmannewspoliticsbourbon]

Thank you! I didn't expect a reply from such a busy content creator. We've been devouring your content at a voracious pace. I've been to Scotland twice before, but somethings I just didn't see. Really love the video about Stockbridge with cool indie record stores and such. Thx for the advice. @@Kakibot

[@lotjasmine]

Hi Miss Kakibot, I love your videos! Just wanna ask if it's still safe living in City Center Edinburgh and Leith areas ? Have a wonderful day, cheers🌼

[@Kakibot]

Edinburgh is overall a really safe city - Leith is slightly more complicated because it is such a large area that the levels of safety can vary a LITTLE BIT, but still, most of the altercations one hears about in the news are about people who had a conflict beforehand, not between anyone targeting visitors.

[@lotjasmine]

@@Kakibot Thank you so much for replying! Love your videos, they are cinematic and informative, love your art, Take care🌼

[@TheEmpressgoth]

❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@tripsBR]

6 ativities or 6 places to eat? hahaha.

[@JinJinDoe]

Amazing video editing. I loved the place where you can paint an object. Very cosy video :)

[@Kakibot]

Thank you so much! It's been a bit of a pain in the butt going out in the rain and wind so many times to get the shots I wanted, so I am so happy to see all this positive feedback for the final video!!

[@ccanavan1]

Love your videos! Also love your brown jacket what brand is it 😊

[@psilocybina_]

that rain ASMR tickled my brain so nicely, thank you! I miss Edinburgh (and Scotland in general!) so much, feels like I have a long-overdue trip to do 😉☺

[@shawnjamehdor7311]

I’m in Edinburgh for a couple more weeks. What is the name of the shop that sells your merchandise?

[@Kakibot]

Scottish Design Exchange on George Street .)

[@shawnjamehdor7311]

@@Kakibotthank you. Hata also has some yummy gluten free alternative pastries, as well.

[@brodievlog]

Hi @kakibot Another great video! What’s your favorite cozy Medieval-esque pub in Edinburgh? Preferably one that’s not a tourist hotspot. Grateful for any suggestions! 🍻

[@ekbrown07]

This video comes just in time for the rainy long weekend it looks like we'll have! Always love your recommendations, and the footage is so beautiful! xoxoxo

[@Kakibot]

I am genuinely so gutted that the rain feels like it hasn’t stopped since I shot this 🥲 just earlier I had to make a mad dash to the bakery and my loaf still got soaked 😂 this is affecting the quality of my life and of my baked goods!!! Somebody needs to do something!

[@chrissyrozelle2167]

Wait… at the end of the video, are you telling us something?

[@douglasbuchanan4203]

I really like your videos Kak and this one was great.... I enjoy seeing places that aren't Tourist attractions but where locals hang out. Don't get me wrong I like the Tourist spots but also the local spots to hang out. I visited Edinburgh before Covid and spent 2 weeks and Loved it.... planning another trip soon.

[@EclipsedWillow]

I'd love to see a video about "Edinburgh's other castle" aka Craigmillar Castle 😄🙌 It has some amazing history for the history nerds, and when me and my husband went to see it we where the only two people there 🫣 I recommend it to everyone if they want to see a beautiful castle, but doesn't like the crowds in Edinburgh castle. As a history nerd I also have other castle/fort recommendations if needed 😉 They are just a bit further away.

[@DerekGrubb]

Shamefully, I've never yet been to the Cameo, but the Dominion is amazing, particularly because of its staff. Thanks for highlighting Doodles - planning to go there and drop into Sugar Daddy Bakery too.

[@dangerouspea]

The sound of rain is the soundtrack of my life here in Edinburgh. Great video and you managed to surprise me with a few places which I haven't visited before, even living so closeby! thank you!

[@marianawinandy4072]

This was a great video! Now I have to go back to Edinburgh and visit all those places! And the images were stunning!

[@jleen16jc]

An Edinburgh local with a euro accent??? No your not!

[@Kakibot]

Do people have to hide their roots to appease you, the authority on who gets to call themselves a local? Thankfully Scotland and its representatives have put a lot of effort into making us, people who have lived here for 10+ years, feel welcome and appreciated despite of some of the problematic nation wide attitudes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
