    Our Edinburgh Travel Guide! I can’t believe it’s taken us this long to feature Edinburgh, Scotland. What a beautiful, warm, welcoming city – full of Scottish hospitality. Full of historic charm, Edinburgh is also bursting with incredible food – despite Scottish food reputations! Cullen skink, haggis, scotch pies are all featured. And of course we couldn’t come to Scotland and not indulge in a wee tipple. So we visit the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (https://smws.com/) for an education.

      These vids make me want to travel. I rarely leave my town of birth. If i do, it has historically been only a feeting visit to Glasgow or Edinburgh, for a gig, then back home.

      Edinburgh is just England with some tartan and bag pipes thrown in for tourists. The rest of Scotland will feel very different when you visit 🙊 . I'm prepared for the backlash from Edinburgers …

      Absolutely delightful video. With my best friend in London, I find myself there most often when visiting the UK – probably 6-7 times in the last decade +. In April 2022, I finally changed that by doing a quick 4 day side trip to Edinburgh and loved it. So this video brought back fond recent memories – thank you. If you go back soon, try Cafe St. Honoré. I enjoy their not fussy French inspired food using amazing Scottish products (and the chef-owner, Neil Forbes, seems a good guy). Agree completely with the train approach. Traveled the Caledonian Sleeper from Euston on the way up (which was one of those bucket list train trips I had been wanting to do, and glad I did), and the LNER Azuma direct service to Kings Cross on the return – which was also an absolutely lovely journey. Oh, Alex, I get the whole bagpipe thing – my Scots-Irish ancestors have been in America since the 1700s, but as soon as the pipes begin to play my eyes start “watering.”

      Followed your channel for a longtime now and I was super excited to see you visit my country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m so glad you got to enjoy Edinburgh – looks like you got lucky with the weather too 😂 haste ye back!

      Its hard to overstate just how scenically beautiful Edinburgh is. Its a city built in and between great hills and dormant volcanos, and just walking around is fascinating, with all the roads and buildings crossing at different levels

    12. Ralle on

      Hey Alex! 😊 It was nice to randomly meeting you last week in London. I really enjoyed watching your travel videos and it was super cool to meet you during my vacation in London. / Greetings from Stockholm

    13. Knowingspy on

      I'm so happy you visited my city! Hopefully you managed to avoid the recent heavy rain (could apply most times of the year haha). You're always welcomed back!

      All these citiea and he has yet to do one of the most traveled cities in the world: Bangkok. Never even heard of edinburg but im along 4 the ride

    20. SanIchiban on

      Nice film as usual.

      Also, a pint of Tennents eh? Hardcore mate. Some great craft beers are available in places around Scotland now so on top of the Scotch, there's also great beers to be had

    21. Benjamin Satterthwaite on

      Have been watching your videos for a while, and love them! This one is fortuitous — I’m moving to Edinburgh from NZ in a few weeks’ time. Thanks, as always, for the insight ☺️

      I've been lucky enough to travel a lot when I was in college, and just before the pandemic, then travel more than ever (July 2022-July 2023, marks the first time in my life I've completed a round trip flight every month, and travelled internationally every fiscal quarter), and being in an expensive city now (Boston) has made me acutely aware of 3 things.
      1. Attache guides are pretty accurate even throughout time, occasionally there are some things that are time limited, but there usually an easy way to update the references that were time relevant
      2. Everything is simpler and easier now that apple pay is widely used, from Boston to DC, to London, Vienna, Nairobi and damn near everywhere in between, I haven't had to use an atm since 2019, and use cash maybe once or twice a year, usually only on "free" walking tours.
      3. Don't let the "expensive city" label determine if it'll actually be expensive to you. As mentioned, I live in Boston, While NYC, LA, and Miami may be the US cities that are known to be expensive, Boston is near as makes no difference NYC type pricing, but without most of the NYC benefits, so when I went to London (when the pound was worth about 1.10 USD) I saved so much money it was ridiculous.

      Great video, love Edinburgh. However Scottish bank notes are not legally acceptable in England and Wales. It's a long standing myth. Legal tender is a specific term and only means when a judge in an English and Welsh court orders payment and that the meaning is it must be payment by the English Pound. English, Welsh, and Northern Irish businesses are not obliged to accept Scottish notes. The Scottish note is a recognised currency in England etc, but then so is the Yen, and US Dollar. It does not follow that shops are legally obliged to accept payment by the Yen, The Dollar, The Euro, or The Scottish issued bank notes. It is merely a personal choice of businesses south of the Scottish border with zero legal compulsion. If McDonald's on Oxford Street London is happy to take the Japanese Yen as payment for a burger then they'll consider payment by the Scottish bank note, but it's a choice and not a legal requirement. Shops in England are perfectly entitled to refuse payment for goods if it's not the English Pound. Just like shops in New York don't have to legally accept the Mexican Peso for purchases. Famous and accesible money experts in the UK like Martin Lewis have done explanations on this topic.

      Edinburgh has been on my hit list forever, thanks for making this and reminding me!

      If you ask people about cities you'll usually get divided opinions, but I have never heard anyone say they didn't love Edinburgh.

    33. ChrisB8s on

      We went to Edinburgh last summer my wife, son and I and bought a bus pass for the family around 9 pounds for the 3 of us. So even cheaper than the cap plan.

    36. Gary Macdonald on

      Edinburgh is much bigger than what the guy tells you (see google map from Heriot-Watt Uni to Leith Docks),but its one of these places that is much better than you imagined,as long as you go travel outside the city centre also!

    40. Livionian on

      Glad you liked oor auld embra you are always welcome, as we say haste ye back.

      If you are ever back in Scotland you might want to consider a Glasgow video. We have a bit of a rivalry but it is a great city in its own unique way, and it was one of Anthony Bourdain's favourite cities

    41. Darth Smirnoff on

      I dream of carving out a few months and just exploring Europe. I honestly don't think it'll happen, but watching Attache is a good substitute.

    42. Ewan Stewart on

      Great to see you came to my home town of Edinburgh! I’m Edinburgh born and bred and this is the first time I’ve heard of Bridies! 🤣
