Living Expenses in Edinburgh (Scotland) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I heard so many positive comments about Edinburgh, Scotland, that I decided to see this city myself, and ask Giulia and Katherina (Kakibot) about living expenses, job opportunities, people, pros and cons of living in Edinburgh and so many other questions to help me decide whether I'd like to live there in the future.
The purpose of this video is to also help you decide where you want to move next. That's why I'm sharing my interviews with you all, hoping to cover the essential information you might want to know about a city.

🐻 About Me:
My name is Anica and I was born and raised in Italy, Rome in 1998. I'm originally from Bangladesh and I've been living in the UK for 6 years, so you could say I'm multinational. I'm studying Adult Nursing at the University of Nottingham, but I'm probably going to be like those people who study something but end up doing something completely different as a career.
✈️ My KZbin Project:
It's a research about me travelling to explore, interview people and tell you about life satisfaction and living expenses of different cities across the UK. This is so that I can find the right place to live. I hope this project helps you to decide where you want to live next too.

It might be more expensive, but if you will get a job which will pay you that difference in expenses, you will see you will be fine. I live in the very city centre and it's the best place i ever lived in the UK. I walk everywhere and it takes me 30 minutes to walk to almost all city centre spots and beyond to nature places like Holyrood Park or Blackford Hill.

It's being colonised and balkanised thanks to the EU and Globalism (English colonialism as well) so better visit it so as they're already mostly Europeans and The Third World and Anglo's that have taken over completely. Very few Scottish Natives will be around in a singular generation.

@@charlieackles8254 There is nowhere to live. Edinburgh is such a tightly packed city, very small footprint for the amount of people who live there.

It's a stunning place to love with plennty of culture with the festival(s) we have running here.

Edinburgh is not one of the most expensive places to live in the UK. The balance between salary and life expenses is said to be the most balanced in Edinburgh actually compared to the rest of the UK.

[@3ve873]

That's actually not true... If you look at the stats around rental costs etc, Edinburgh is ranked among some of the most expensive places (top 10-20 : no one is saying it is the most expensive or even in the top 5, because it's much cheaper than eg London, Cambridge, Brighton etc - but remember lots of people living in these commute to London with London sized salaries). Also, it depends for whom we are talking about; for students it's very expensive, as well as for tourists during the peak periods when they all flock to the city. Then it depends whether you're talking about rent or property affordability / groceries and bills. There is an echelon of society in Edinburgh who are paid well and the quality of life is fantastic, but a lot of people who spend the majority of their income on rent or live outside the city.

[@3ve873]

FYI, after just a quick google, Edinburgh is in the top 10 most expensive cities for both rental properties and for purchasing for first time buyers...

11:44: "During the Fringe, lot of people who are like me, get very angry" - exactly, Katarina! I hate all the extra noise pollution and the crowds that the Fringe is bringing to Edinburgh. They keep saying the city is benefiting hugely from the Fringe... Yes, the businesses (especially the hospitality industry) are benefiting, but not the ordinary residents. And btw: if the city is REALLY hugely benefiting from the Fringe - it would be nice for Edinbugh residents, for example, not to pay any Council Tax in August. To have the Festival month tax-free. Then every Edinburgh resident would feel the benefit and appreciate the Festival more.

Luckily for us area i]has out a stop to cars filling streets here during football days. I rem when I was younger I was training Jon near a famous stadium we got out late at night I had only my subway ticket return no money n lived miles away n I was refused to enter the subway by police so fans can use it. I had to walk home at 11pm at night through doggy streets roads for hours. After a long exhausting day work. I hate football. Ppl n it’s citizens should be priority esp when we young women without much money in a bad area at late hours of night trying to get home exhausted after work. Public transport should only be for citizens not fans they should get a city bus for fans to drop them home.

I would LOVE to live in Edinburgh. I’m American though and I just know the process of moving across the ocean would be so expensive and painstaking 😩 but this is such a dream!

[@ASweetDoseofTeddy]

Edinburgh is simple but elegant 😊 Let’s have a cuppa tea when you’re free 😊

Beautiful city, so charming! ❤️😍💕

Just got back from Edinburg and it is the most enchanting city I’ve ever visited.

[@scotf7313]

Took me by surprise when you said `no` to Edinburgh.

[@SvetlanaVelvet]

She didddd?😢

[@mannionh1]

She's being realistic. Not as many job prospects to maintain the high rents.

[@bron-sconcess.10]

Sound quality? Lovely video, so things can only get better! For me, Edinburgh was 'just' growing on me when I saw this - I've not done the 'fringe'; Scots are definitely good natured and Edinburgh IS walk friendly, for me, that's great!

[@irenecaird6688]

Just come back from visiting Edinburgh. Went to see where our late dad came from. It's a beautiful city. Went to portobello beach and the sun was out. Which was great as the day before at the castle, it threw it down. Looks like the same hotel we stayed in. The cairn Hotel. Can't wait to go back another time

I’ve seen Edinburgh on TikTok and now I’m obsessed

[@christinamathew7593]

Would 100% recommend , perfect place for a student although probably more expensive than places like Glasgow and etc

[@dhananjaybasumataryofficia9935]

Glad to see your trip👍

[@eddiearcher1358]

Beautiful video, very informative, thank you!

[@FirelightX3]

I love your video Solo Ann! My ancestors used to live in Edinburgh, and I am a USA citizen, so its nice to learn about my ancestors country & city.

[@miatheresya5302]

I've been in Edinburg when i was young. It's such a nice and beautiful place. I love it...😍😍

[@griffedbat]

Every video I see regarding this topic is from the pov of a foreigner. I appreciate their viewpoint, but it makes me wonder why there aren't more videos on this topic from native inhabitants.

[@theprogrammerrolandmc3039]

same with when the festival is on not even street musicians are scottish yet we have to deal with the city centre closed off or impossible to get to work.

[@mintslice2214]

This is really great video, thank you!

[@traceypotter7669]

Edinburgh is the best. I'm so blessed to live here, and just a 10 minute walk to Porty beach.

[@jeffro512]

Fantastic video, thanks!

[@swapniljayade2075]

Nice explanation, keep it up. Great job, keep doing it.

[@edinburghwalks9137]

Edinburgh is beautiful city I have lots of videos of the city

[@arianaajbeaverhausen8175]

Just subscribed to your channel too, ah hail fae the toon 😜😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

[@chadsimmons6347]

The castle is where i want to visit, the town is probably boring, full of drunkards

[@jakeartis955]

Born and bread in Nottingham. Have to say I'm fed up living here and have been contemplating heading north to not to look back

[@tedbhoy1]

the thing i like most about Scotland is, the people, they realise the weather is so shite they challenge the people they meet to smile and be nice , out of spite , there could be blowing a hoolie but wee Mary will argue with big mag's it's the best storm we'v had fur a wee while .

[@Tala_toto399]

Thanx for the great video ❤️❤️

[@datingandlifeadvicechannel7534]

Edinburgh is more friendly than london but the cold was brutal

[@nataliakomarova7008]

I was in Еdinburg in spring and autumn. I liked the city and people. People were very friendly. I want again to go there ! Was in Glasgow and St.Adrews - gorgeous places !!!

[@therealscottadamsTM]

@10:21 sad but true, I moved from Glasgow to Nottingham

[@jaysrivastava6925]

I am planning to move to Edinburgh. Still looking for a place. This video helps. Thanks.

[@SoloAnn]

I’m glad this video helped you!

[@jessicataylor7174]

Edinburgh is a wonderful place to live! I hope you find a nice home here :)

[@jaysrivastava6925]
