Edinburgh Complete City Guide - Tour of Scotland's Capital - Travel Advice & Tips

This complete video guide was filmed over several trips to Edinburgh, so sorry about the weird continuity. But if you've enjoyed this video and want me to make more city guides like this, let me know in a separate comment below!

@@UltimateBucketList You are so helpful, can I ask you please, where would you recommend spending New Years Eve? I live in Switzerland and would love to go to Scotland 😀

[@UltimateBucketList]

@@purplefee9210 Hogmanay (which is New Years' Eve in Scotland) is always fantastic, they have street celebrations and they blow up fireworks around Edinburgh Castle. I recommend that you go there. It might be expensive and it might be crowded, but it's definitely worth doing once in your life!

It's IMPOSSIBLE not to like your videos. RELEVANT information, with captivating visuals that make you travel without leaving home. Not to mention, I learn new English words, slangs. Your engaging narration is a great opportunity for me too practice my listening skills. Keep it up!!! Congratulations.

[@yhagood4119]

You make great videos! They are so helpful! Not just telling about the location but you also give essential information about how to get there and cost that most other videos leave off. It's especially nice to know about when peak seasons are and what to expect then. I appreciate all of your insights. Thanks for sharing!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks again, it fills me with confidence to read comments like yours! 🙌 Unlike other KZbin 'travel guides' (which the camera is pointed at the presenter talking mindlessly most of the time), I show you everything that you need to know, and make sure you're familiar with the place before you actually go there. It eliminates a massive source of stress when you visit somewhere you've never been before. Be sure to share this guide if you have found it helpful! 😀

Edinburgh is also expensive because the military tattoo is only during that time as well. Best time to visit to fit in ALL Scotland has to offer with the nicest weather. Still super chilly at night. We got married there almost a decade ago, did the whiskey experience dinner the night before with the military tattoo to end the evening, stayed in Dalhousie Castle, got married at Culross Abbey, had tea at Edinburgh Castle, saw a few shows at fringe fest, and took a 3-4 day bus tour of the highlands. We packed a lot into less than a week but it was worth it.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes, that's correct. It's the best time of year to visit, but boy is it expensive right about now! Congratulations on your wedding, it sounds like quite the experience :)

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks! Although you have to be careful about droning around the Castle (make it an early morning flight) - and it's definitely a no-no flying around or over the Palace of Holyrood House. Stay well clear! That place is heavily guarded and there are certain places I've been to recently that employ signal jammers. It's scary when you lose the signal and you have to wait for it to drop out of the sky before they get to you.

Thanks, this is a great video! The fringe festival is the largest arts festival in the world! The Edinburgh Zoo, while having the only pandas in the UK, is also home to the penguin parade where the penguins are let loose in the zoo and parade through it led by the only knighted penguin in the world, Sir Nils Olav! There are so many different museums in Edinburgh as well from the two Scottish National Galleries of Modern Art, the National Portrait Gallery, The Scottish National Gallery, the two National Museums of Scotland, The Museum of Childhood, and the Museum of Edinburgh, plus many more, as well as the two National Records of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland which is one the largest libraries in the UK! Also, the observatory on Calton Hill is technically not in use anymore as it has been subsumed by the city (it still works though), but there is another observatory on Blackford Hill called the Royal Observatory Edinburgh (which is also very interesting to visit) and is the home to the UK Astronomy Technology Centre!

[@eccremocarpusscaber5159]

Edinburgh is the second most expensive city to live in bar London. It’s still worth it though.

[@TheMiniMaestroMan]

@@eccremocarpusscaber5159 London is decent for a visit but never a place to live. Saying this as a born and bred Dundonian, Edinburgh isn'ae Scottish - neither culturally, socially or economically. Much more middle-class and cosmopolitan than the more traditional, smaller working-class cities and towns like mine. It's more closer to being English imo. Too much shortbread tin pandering for tourists and becomes an de-facto exclave borough of London when the Fringe is on. But still a lovely place with very high standards of living. I'm planning on going to Queen Margaret uni in Musselburgh, just outside Edinburgh. Less snobby and more affordable. Good for students from deprived backgrounds + gives you a chance to live in the capital without being aristocraticly rich.

Thanks Vanessa, I appreciate your kind comments. Cheers for stopping by 👍

[@MrCherryJuice]

Nice. But a couple things: "Turn right down Grassmarket" should be "...down Victoria Street" (the sign adjacent to 'Grassmarket was the one to read). The Grassmarket is the "public square" referred to immediately after. "If you carry on walking down Princes Street you won't find any shortage of bars, pubs and restaurants"? That footage is George Street, a block further into the New Town, which is where drink and food can be found. As for dismissing Leith as "There's really not that much to it," you've got that wrong. Leith, once a town separate from Edinburgh, might lack the grace of the New Town and the tourist attractions of the Old Town, but it is one of the city's most characterful areas, with plenty of bars, pubs, places to eat and funky streets to discover. It is always good to get someone who knows the city to review the final edit before publishing. Of course there is so much more to the city centre than what you show. Still, it is always nice to see footage of this fabulous city.

[@madisonperez3305]

I will be at London from 13/8 to 16 then Cardiff from 16 to 18 and was planning to reach Edinburgh on 18 however the flight ticket + hotels are very expensive so my question is : What is your advice to visit after Cardiff ? as I will be in Manchester on 21/8 so I have 18 to 21 still not decided yet and I trust your options . Sorry for my long story and thanks in advance!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Hello my brother. Thanks for stopping by, and thank you for watching my videos! If Edinburgh is too expensive, I recommend that you visit the historic city of Bath (see my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGnMfImhnNejrrc). It’s not too far from Cardiff, about a 1 hour train ride). And you can easily spend two days there. Liverpool is also a short train ride away from Manchester, so that’s worth a day too. You won’t need much time in Cardiff, Bath or Manchester - so I’d add a couple of extra days in London if you can. Hope that helps?

[@MrAnasghwas]

Thanks for another great video. Edinburgh look fantastic the only disappointment is that accommodation is expensive, another city to visit once I get to the UK one day.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks Jason! The hotels in the city centre are stupidly priced, so whenever I go there, I stay in one of the other districts where the price of hotels is reasonable (and with free car parking) ... and then get a £2 bus into town. That's the only way I can make Edinburgh affordable most of the time. But a lot of tourists don't know that, so they get seriously ripped off when they come here. I suppose it's like that with every major capital city these days!

This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks again for your continued support! I appreciate you tuning into my videos :)

[@danbo433]

Not a biggy, but - around 5:25 - That's Victoria St, which leads down to the Grassmarket.

[@UltimateBucketList]

I'm aware. It was just easier to show to a would-be tourist that way.

[@michaelmallal9101]

Wasn't there a big fire in Old Town? My great-grandparents were from Orkney.

[@UltimateBucketList]

There's been two if I'm not mistaken? Orkney is a place I'd love to go to one day!

12:03 Is that Ser Alliser Thorne (Owen Teale) from Game of Thrones Night's Watch?

[@UltimateBucketList]

It looks like him a little, but I obviously didn't stick around to find out!

[@stuartibbertson2009]

fantastic video

[@UltimateBucketList]

You didn't watch all the way through, did you?

[@delanosilveira17]

First of all kudos for your videos! Could you please tell me where "The Carron Fish Bar" is? I couldn't find it on google! Thank you so much in advance!

[@UltimateBucketList]

I don't ever recall seeing one in Edinburgh (Google says it's in Aberdeen, which is miles away). If you're into seafood, Maxie's near Edinburgh castle comes highly recommended.

[@delanosilveira17]

@@UltimateBucketList Thank you for reply and your clue about seafood. About the store ,it is shown in this video at 10:14 when you mention "deep fried mars bar". I thought you had been there, sorry!

[@UltimateBucketList]

@@delanosilveira17 Oh sorry, that was some stock footage from a news site that I took to illustrate my point. In reality, any fish and chip shop in Edinburgh will be more than happy to deep fry you a Mars bar (or any chocolate bar) on request!

[@lalva5898]

Any suggestions for a budget friendly hotel that is close and easy to get into Edinburgh from?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Without looking at hostels (which I don't recommend), you'll probably be looking at budget hotel chains such as Travelodge and Premier Inn. There's also a budget Hilton hotel to the west of the city that's easy to get to/from. Hope that helps?

[@lalva5898]

@@UltimateBucketList thank you. I’ll look into them. 🙂

Very good

Thanks!

I've been to Edinburgh a few times. Absolutely love this city❤. Very good video. 👍

You Forgot About The Iconic Bridges On The RIVER FORTH, Graet To See Not Far From The City,👍🏾

[@UltimateBucketList]

The Forth Bridge? The one that's nowhere near the city of Edinburgh?

[@BodegaMouse]

Dude! Is that Owen Teale @12:04 ??? AKA Ser Alliser Thorne. Holy shit.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes it is.

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

Can I walk from Carlton Hill to Arthur’s Seat?

[@UltimateBucketList]

You certainly can! It's not very far from point to point (less than 1.8 miles) but it's the steepness of climbs that might take some time.

[@juansebastianjaime8343]

Am i the only one who notice the actor Owen Teale ( one of the night watch in Game of throne) at 12:05 minutes 😮😮😮

[@UltimateBucketList]

You're actually the 2nd person to notice that I accidentally filmed him. Even I didn't notice until someone else pointed it out to me!

[@thelittleowl1]

I remember I went to Edinburgh on holiday. It was great but geez the zizzi had terrible service.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Shame about the service, but in general Edinburgh is pretty good for that sort of thing .You were probably unlucky on that occassion.

@@UltimateBucketList pizza express was great! i remember there also being quite a few drunk people.
