Some of my best memories are in this part of Edinburgh =') I used to live in Marchmont and walk down to Morningside where I volunteered at the Oxfam bookshop early in the morning. I still think about those walks as my happy place

I lived in Edinburgh for a year and fell in love with the city. I am dying to visit again so I am living for these videos 💛✨

I visited Edinburgh last November with my partner and I literally fell in love with the city 😍 There's literally just something about it I can't describe!! I'll always take your tour videos Jean, they're super relaxing and also give me a lot of travelspiration 😁 Thank you a lot!! ✨

[susanthompson]

Thank you Jean...my dream to visit Edinburgh someday. For now I'm so grateful to be able to explore Edinburgh vicariously through you. Such a beautiful, magical city ✨

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I lived in the little town of Ratho in the 90’s 😊

[BamBabyBrenda]

Those clothes looked cute!

I loved this charming tour! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Loved that trip - its a long long time since we've been to Edinburgh but lived and worked there in the late 70's and early 80's - got married in Morningside, as did my sister in law - thank you 😄

[angierivera]

Thank you for making this video! I really hope to visit one day and until then, I'll live vicariously through your vlogs. It's so beautiful there!

[gailgilchrist]

I visited Edinburgh over Christmas and New Year and am longing to be back. I love this part of town. The next time you visit check out Artisan Cheesecake. They even have gluten free cheesecake that I can eat. Looking forward to the release of your Egyptian mythology book!

I loved this! Thank you so much for bringing us along :)

[braincabbage]

All the food in this video had me drooling!

I really enjoyed this - the first bookshop that you showed looks so amazing - Wow. The Chocolate Shop that you showed - I would just die in that place if I went there. Chocolate is my favorite candy. Here in the United States in the State of Michigan there is a Chocolate Candy Shop that is very similar to the one that you showed. They make their own Chocolate Candy and they make their own Ice Cream Flavors too. It is to die for.

Thank you for taking me along on your adventure trip. Everything is so pretty.

Take Care & Happy Reading ❤️🤗🔰📚📖❤️

I have known that area for over 60 years, because my Grandparents living in Bruntsfield at that time.

I have only ever driven through Morningside but it looks so lovely 😍

[keepsmiling]

Lovely video. Although I have family near Morningside I mainly remember that Maisie the cat from the Scottish children's book is from there 😂
