Remember, your corrected pronouncation of Edinburgh is spot on (Edinburrah) . Chris, an Englishman, messes it up more and more further into the vid he goes. It's Princes Street - not Prince or Princess. Say "Holly-rood" instead of "Holy-rood"." And in the UK we tend to say "Jack-o-bite" for Jacobite. Considering you're an outsider, very well made video.

To be clear, the Jacobite uprising is not so much about whether or not to be part of Britain, but rather it was supporters of the old Stuart dynasty, who had been disinherited from the throne for being Catholics, attempting to retake the throne.

My streets so old it's on your map, always cool to see. Also, 18:15 - It's Princes Street btw, not Prince Street and definitely not Princess Street

Just a wee note that us Scots pronounce Holyrood as 'Hollyrood' like Hollywood. Other than that, great video very enjoyable !

Worked a boring desk job about 2 years ago and spent so much time aimlessly wandering around Edinburgh on google earth lol. Awesome video!

[FrogLaneStudio]

It’s pronounced “Jack ‘O Bite”. But, that aside! You are right, it’s so lovely here, we are here for the Fringe and visited a lot of the places you mentioned

[EmpressLizard]

I suppose it's a testament to the video quality that they always end too soon. I want Daniel to keep talking and tell me all the things!

“This is a city of shifting light, of changing skies, of sudden vistas. A city so beautiful it breaks the heart again and again.”

[Bonnie_Shot]

There are SO many mispronunciations in this video, but we’ll let it slide since you’ve put together a great video!

My wife and I visited Scotland for our 20th anniversary in 2017. Such an awesome trip. You never know how the locals might view you as a tourist, but I found them gracious and the landscapes serene and history intriguing.
Cheers from Idaho.

Moved from USA to Edinburgh in 1986. Never looked back. A magical place that still takes my breath away when flying in.

You should make a video on Mexico City. The modern city is built on the old Spanish city, and the old Spanish city was built on the old Aztec city, which was in the middle of a lake. A lake which no longer exists. There are some very cool maps in the national anthropology museum.

I've waited alone in a queue for an ice cream multiple times. In Melbourne, London and Berlin. I know that exact "I am a middle-aged male waiting for ice cream, I hope no one is judging me" feeling exceptionally well. You should look at the layout of Glasgow - it was hugely influential on Australian cities and cities across North America. The Scots are probably one of the most influential people to have ever walked this planet. Melbourne often really feels like Glasgow or Manchester.

I left a comment a few videos back about how this channel is just perfect for me as someone obsessed with maps and urban development - and now you're covering my old home! Did my bachelors here, miss the city enormously

[RenanSperendio]

Edinburgh is by far my favorite city! I love how the old and the new combines and creates a beautiful city

[jemj]

I've just moved out of Edinburgh and missing it very much, and was enjoying all the footage of my familiar haunts. Imagine my surprise when I saw myself walking down Cockburn St (in the yellow trousers) at 17.40!

[producedbypodcast]

Visited Edinburgh a while ago and can't recommend it enough. Beautiful city and the view from the hill was stunning! Nice one, Daniel!

[iainmalcolm]

Great video. As a life long resident of Edinburgh, I knew much of the history but there was still some gems of information included that were new to me.

[sarahg]

So excited you’ve covered Edinburgh! Edin-bruh is also accepted pronunciation

[FlorenceRyan]

Prince’s Street Garden was a lake?? Wow I did not see that coming. Thanks for yet another great video, Daniel. Learning a lot thanks to you!
