Edinburgh Old Town Grassmarket guided tour 2023 Old Town Edinburgh - Diagon Alley - Victoria Street

Thanks for the Tour John. I was there around 1967/8 it was Darker somehow, London too..!
Chimney Smoke I think or Blitz..??

I was 11 or 12yrs old so its a Bit of a Blur..!!

Thank you for your Efforts..! Cheers All 😎

The grassmarket wasn’t just a livestock market. It was also Edinburghs corn exchange. You walked right over the inscription on the slabs.

We will be staying in the Grassmarket area in October while visiting Edinburgh for the first time. This video made me think we made a good decision.

I’m going to Edinburgh next August,I’m getting excited 😊

This video was great. I love the way he tells the stories. Very interesting.

Wow,I've just discovered your channel ! It's absolutely gorgeous 😍 I'm planning my journey to Scotland this summer and I find your videos full of inspiration! Thank you 😊

Could you go round gimertton and mordan please.

May I know, what is the time during this recording?

This video is pure gold! What a beautiful city and history. Not only are you the King of Metal Detecting You're the King of Scotlands long history! Thank You John. You make it almost as good as being there!

So great seeing and hearing the voice and history put together in one ☺️

We need more Harry Potter!

Thanks for this video tour. We will be in the Grass Market Hotel on the 1st of April. We will for sure hit some of these spots you showed here. 😃

Fabulous tour of this region of Edinburgh, John! Thank you so much for the history, perspective, and truly beautiful views! Taking my notes from your videos! So exciting!!!

Loved this tour of Edinburgh. Scotland is on my bucket list to visit!

Our Daughter and son-in-law can not stop talking about their recent trip to Ireland and Scotland And the most memorable tour guide- You. My wife and I want to make the trip in the spring and hope to meet you.

Hi i watch your metal detecting channel,love that and love this...not sure how you find time to do this aswell but you do haha

Edinburgh is my favourite city! I don’t get there often from Canada. My great grandmother was born in long gone Duncan’s Close Canongate.

I would love to visit and move to Edinburgh. I love the beauty of the country and I love your accent. ❤

Absolutley a fabulous adventure John! I felt as if I was walking along with you!! Never enjoyed a tour and History lesson like this in my life!!! You Sir have a wonderful gift as well as a world renowned treasure hunter and detectorist!!!! I trully cant applaud this video enough!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Lovely my fav area so full of history .

❤❤❤❤

Having read about Edinburgh and the Grassmarket, in the Rebus books by Ian Rankin, it was lovely to put a 'face to the name". Well done John, I found it very interesting especially the bits about J.K.Rowling. Thank you

Stunning!!

And just like that I get to see Edinburgh! You're a good guide on the field and in town!

Love both of your channels! I will make it to Scotland one day (maternal ancestry-MacKay family) and i will definitely participate in one of your tours. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and obvious love for your beautiful country!

Just discovered your video. The Old Town, history, accent etc is so beautiful and interesting. Sorry to see some of it mucked by graffiti. Slainte. 😊

Unbelievable vitual tour john love the history lessons from yourself on the detecting channel but this is equally as good i.e half hang maggie and dropping bombs by hand just thongs id of never known but love to learn. I remember watching you live on tiktok at york minster and learned so much from it!! Keep up the amazing work mate love it!!

I loved your tour John! You have a beautiful voice so easy to listen to, like music to my ears! ( I’m half Scottish) reminding me of my heritage ❤️❤️

Hello John, just subscribed (came from the detecting site, love both).
Cheers.

I started watching your videos earlier this year and love the walks you do. We are planning to visit in ‘25 and find this all really useful as to where we should go and do.

Taikuu John, what a beautiful city and castle. Is there a Family in resident @ the castle? And are there ever any tours of the inside? Thank you again.. From Alaska, USA.

Thank you! Amazing tour!

I have a Harkness ancestor hanged there. Hope to stand there one day soon.

Hello John. Wel you hearn my subscription today 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Yes. Yes, I will. Still so much to see, despite doing three walking tours in two days, and bombing around the Castle and Holyrood. Middle-aged and creaky, but determined. Enjoying both channels. Cheers. 👍😉

I am a “Potter Head” & I enjoyed the tour!

This video was amazing! Edinburgh is an amazingly historic, well-maintained city! I heard it is a booklover's dream with all it's bookshops. I collect miniature books and there are several book makers in that area. Would love to visit someday, but until then I have your videos to live vicariously through!! Cheers from Minnesota, USA!!🥰🥰🥰

Wanted to say thanks John. It's embarrassing to admit this but I grew up in Scotland. I still fly home regularly and used to work in the Cowgate long ago. I learned 4 things in 13 minutes that I did not know about the city and area steps away from where I worked for years. Everyone should watch these tours, worth every minute

I know I said this on your last video but I just wanted to say it again. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you posting these videos. I have always loved Scotland and due to my physical disabilities, I will never be able to go there. It means more than you know to not only get to see these places, but to learn more about the history from somebody who lives there. So, thank you for brightening my day.

Awesome Tour.

#3 on my bucket list. Come and take a tour with you 🍻

I managed to find 15mins of not quite solitude whilst camping. Great video and I once again enjoyed the history.

well presented and what a beutifal city will visit sometime in my life .
