How can you say Newcastle is the friendliest city in the Uk when youโve only visited one Scottish city which is always heaving with tourists , to experience Scotland & Scottish people you need to travel outside Edinburgh we have many beautiful places & beaches & the locals are very welcoming to tourists.
900 years old ? So a Catholic Church
interesting i plan to go soon which part is less hilly
i think you both would like beamish museum
Twinned with Dundee junkies paradise
Thanks for me being in the video guys ๐
St Giles WAS a cathedral for just four years after the present building opened on the site of an earlier one. Since 1560, when the Scottish Reformation took place, its official title has been "High Kirk of Edinburgh." The Church of Scotland uses several other former cathedrals thaat are sill known as such – Glasgow, Dunblane, Dunkeld, Brechin and Dornoch among them. The Scottish Episcopal Church and the Roman Catholic Church also have cathedrals in Scotland, that are real ones! The Royal Mile – with the Castle at one end and the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the other, is also not a modern mile! The 'temporary stadium' is erected on the castle esplanade every summer, primarily for the Royal Military Tattoo, which takes place six nights a week during the Edinburgh International Festival, during August. Nelson's Column, on Calton Hill, is a navigational aid for shipping out in the Forth Estuary as, right at the top is what looks like a flagpole, but instead of a flag it has a large gold-coloured ball that rises up to the top of the pole around noon each day. It then drops, just a few seconds before 1pm and this serves as the signal to soldiers on the castle to fire the One o' clock gun – at the sound of which you can immediately tell the difference between Edinburgh residents and visitors in Princes Street and the gardens, as the visitors gasp with shock, while the residents check their watches! Seriously – the ball is the visual aid and the simultaneous canon shot is an audible one because back in the days of coal fires, the city was invariably shrouded in smoke, when it was known as "Auld Reekie," reek being a Scottish word for smoke. It is also common during the cooler months for dense haar to roll in off the sea and so shroud all it's landmarks in fog so thick that you can't even see the top of the Scott Monument when stood right next to it!
How cute were the family that recognised you guys! They were so lovely what a super cute interaction.
Iโve also become obsessed with watching your content. Itโs so nice to watch. โค
Also I did the ghost hunt in greys cemetery at midnight it was awesome! So spooky and we went into the Mackenzie tomb! Highly recommend.
do the coast of west scotland north, it's bliss!
Edinburgh is nice BUT overly touristy unfortunately ๐
When you were in St. Giles Cathedral I hope you viewed The Thistle Chapel. Visiting Edinburgh during August is always busy. But if you want the true experience of Scotland, yes visit the cities but get up to the Highlands and Islands. Don't worry about the weather it changes every 5 minutes.
I love Edinburgh, the volume of history & architecture compressed in one area is wonderful!
Although it pains me to say as a Scot (jk๐), Lincoln Cathedral for me is the most impressive building I've ever been to.
Bit of a shame as it's the only thing I'd recommend at Lincoln i.e. the castle is a bit disappointing; especially for the price you pay it's a scam. So only visit the cathedral is my advice!!
Many thanks for this lovely video of my home town! Just a note on bishops: St Giles is called a cathedral because it was indeed one for two short periods in the 17th century under Charles 1 and 2. When the Presbyterian church was established as the national church in 1689, the part of the church that retained bishops and more ceremonial split off to become the Episcopal Church. The Episcopalian members of St Giles moved down the road to what is now Old St Paul's Church, of which I am the parish priest.
Looks like the friendly locals are the go to people for the best tips rather than the YouTubers!๐
Edinburgh – A tartan tourist theme park where ethnic Scots families once lived!๐
ยฃ12 to enter York minister, yet this church is free like Durham Cathedral is free as well donation boxes only, so my point is why can't york minister be the same , then ๐ค ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ .
The north is always more friendly than the south, a taxi ride where I live in Teesside (a 7 mile journey) is ยฃ14 .?
London a 7 mile journey ยฃ55 that's why Southerners are more miserable ๐ am I glad
I was born and bred in Middlesbrough (smoggy land). I holiday in Scotland ๐ข yearly this is my favourite place out of all the UK .
Glencoe is magical in real life. I have stopped at Edinburgh , sterling , Montrose , Inverness, and Oban. I loved it ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Jay & Karolina hope you enjoyed your trip up to Edinburgh even though you missed the festival. Maybe next time & I wish you both all the best in your travels around the UK.
'The most haunted place in Scotland' is just tourist guide bollocks. Also you should cut out all that stuff in the lift.
Everywhere is free in scotland i believe.. could be the same uk wide am not sure…
Those structures are stunning and then ye look at places like glasgow..dundee etc all built on sandstone.. where did it even all come from lol its a wonder and so beautiful and long lasting โค๐
Probably wasn't classed as a cathedral since Catholicism was persecuted in scotland…
Newcastle lads are always gucci tbh… True northerners โค
You and your partner are part of the tourists mob. Except tourists from other countries are welcomeโฆ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
At the 4.40 mark, you walked by the Deacon Brodie Tavern, the interesting story there is that is who the novel Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde is supposedly based on.
During the fringe festival the population of the city explodes, not just tourists though because a lot of them are people coming to work at the fringe. So while the city is always pretty busy, August is peak tourist season, so much so that some residents decide to leave the city for part or all of the festival
AS a born and bred Scot, I can't stand that city.
I stay in Falkland Fife which is extremely popular with tourists since Outlander was filmed in 2016. More so The Fountain โฒ๏ธ & Fayre Earth ๐ Gift Shop where you get the best coffees & other gifts so on. Plus thereโs a good Violin ๐ป Antique Shop which Bob Beverage has & he sells a lot of good stuff Antiques etc. plus I would also recommend a walk around Falkland Palace but itโs around ยฃ17 each so is a bit pricey. I would also recommend Helenโs Bakery where you do get alot of great grub including ice cream ๐จ. So definitely worth a visit is Falkland Fife. Plus Covenanter Hotel Restaurant & Bar where you will get a great meal dinner etc. ๐๐
