Our second day on our Caledonian Sleeper trip to Edinburgh .

Day 2 starts on the floating hotel Fingal , after a lovely Scottish breakfast and with the sun shining we make our way into Edinburgh .
Our plan today was to see most of the main sights by foot .
We were very lucky with the weather as it stayed nice and sunny all day.
We took in the Dome club and bar that was already covered in Christmas decorations . Then on to Princess Gardens that looked great in the sunshine . Next up to the Castle and then on to the Royal Mile and down to Holyrood Palace.
We finished at Greyfriars Kirkyard to see Greyfriars Bobby and do the traditional stroking of the statue.
After taking the tram back to the hotel and enjoying a lovely shower we enjoyed another great meal in the Lighthouse restaurant .

Hello! This is quite a trip. I so enjoy seeing these different places. I'm glad Pearl wrote on that young girl's shirt. Wish I could walk like that. Thank you for taking the time to show us what you eat. I like food, and enjoy seeing the different dishes. Tell Pearl I enjoyed her little jig! If you can't have fun, then why go? She has my sympathy with all the bathroom trips. I truly understand. I have to giggle when I see US restaurants over there. Can't wait till the next video! Hope you all are staying well.

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Rene always good to hear from you, we are all well apart from the incessant rain . Hope everything is fine with you. We certainly walked a lot that day , you would love Edinburgh so much history. We have been very lucky with the food at the hotel it has been so nice . Glad you liked Pearls jig , we always like to have a laugh when we can . When we arrive anywhere we always have to find where the restrooms are 😂 Last video will be on Sunday usual time , take care Rene and have a good week.xx

Good Morning Amanda , it was really interesting to get some information on where your surname came from and what area of Scotland. We had seen the Fingal hotel on another vlog , it was fantastic. Great food and service. Wish we had gone back to the building with all the Christmas decorations, as you say spectacular. Thanks Amanda , have a great day and thanks for watching.❤️❤️Xx

Pearl is an absolute star, she is hilarious, loved her doing the highland fling. Loved hearing you pronouncing some scotish words, made me laugh. I'm Scotish loved it. 😂❤

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Annette , she certainly is a star she did make me laugh when she looked under the Kilt . I actually was born in Dundee but we were only there for a little while ,before moving down South . We do love going back to Scotland one of our favourite places. Xx

Hello Pearl and Brian, Fantastic video as always! So much fun! We didn't realise how beautiful Edinburgh was. There is so much to see and do. Tram prices are great. Tartan scarf, oh Brian, we were hoping to see you modelling a tartan kilt! 😂 best wishes Lisa and Pete 😀

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Lisa and Pete , hope you are both well . That would have been something me in a kilt 😂 especially with Pearl about trying to have a peep .

[@glendahill]

looks like Pearls prayer for wine came true. .. She's just like me, 'I'm full after that food, but I'll have, this, this and that' and before you know it, it's all gone! Just like me

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Glenda, yeah funny that , how she always finds room for the wine 🍷 😂

[@dereknash3638]

Another enjoyable video, we have been to Edinburgh a few times mainly on coach holidays to Scotland from Essex (Clacton), the Hill is called Arthur’s Seat in Holyrood park and you can walk to the top. Have also done a few cruises, are booked to go on Iona.

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Derek , thank you glad you enjoyed. Also thanks for the information concerning Arthur’s seat .We could see people at the top but Pearl was suffering a bit with her hip so maybe next time 😀. Iona is a great ship , really hope you enjoy it . Thanks a lot for watching and taking time to comment.

[@Suziq58]

Brian and pearl i always have a laugh with my husband i say ive been with you over 20 years and I’m still waiting for you to take me to Scotland , he always makes an excuse well its to fay you need a car etc etc, you have proved you don’t he’s going to get an ear bashing now sham its a bit wet 😊

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

😂😂 hope we’re not getting him into bother . We love Scotland, we’ve flown, drove, and gone by train . Pick the right time of year and it’s beautiful. Edinburgh is a great place to visit . 👋👋

[@michaelpurbrick3115]

P.S. im writing to Boss, Ive requested sponsorship so you can do more trips 🤣

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

😂😂 that would be great I don’t seem to get anywhere. I do like a bit of Boss I must admit .

[@pbrunottephoto1646]

Good fun as usual 😆..I notice you shoot will sony and phone and now dji 2...I have been looking at the dji 3...How much would you use each in a day shoot. Or do you just take one out....? thanks keep smiling and making us smile..😃

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi Both , hope you recovered after your 50th anniversary fun , looked like a lot of fun .I was looking for a camera that was a bit more discrete for when your in more of a crowded situation. I used it more than was planned, as the battery run out on the Sony zv1 I couldn’t be bothered to change it so just used the dji.Downside being if you don’t use the microphone that came with it the sound level is very low . If you watch the last video coming up you will see what I mean.Have sent off for a cable so that I can use the microphones I use with the zv1 together with the dji . I am really pleased with the Dji. Hope this helps .👋

[@auntiegc7880]

You're NOT meant to touch or stroke Greyfriars Bobby - that's a recent phenomenon amongst tourists and it has been causing damage to the statue as the surface is rubbed away, exposing the underlying brass. So the next time you're here, PLEASE DON'T TOUCH. It won't bring you luck and it certainly isn't lucky for poor Bobby.

[@pearlandbrianstripsandadve8619]

Hi , well that’s us well and truly told , we totally understand. Maybe they should have a sign up saying don’t touch . Causing damage is the last thing that we want to do . You obviously wanted to emphasise the point by commenting in CAPITALS, no need my eye sight is perfect. Thanks very much for watching and letting us know your concerns. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video , it all helps our channel. 👋👋
