    I watch this and although it may not be attractive to other viewers, it makes me happy because it reminds me of a time growing up where Edinburgh was simply Edinburgh...it was home. Now, most of these buildings are gone, and so are the people that lived in them. Pushed further out the city whilst the land their former homes stood on continues to be bought by filthy rich property development companies - in cahoots with the local council etc - who build "luxury apartments" that more than likely lie empty half the year when they're not let out through air b&b for 1k a week, or development after development of "student accommodation" with a Sainsbury's local and a Costa coffee occupying the ground floor units. Horrific

      But why would tourists want to see deprivation, neds and junkies lurking about. Those are people who ruin a cities reputation they are also the people that can fuck right off.

    Most people think of Edinburgh as the Castle and Princess Street. Sadly, our capital city has deep pockets of deprivation and poverty. The media refuses to highlight it and instead focus on Glasgow’s issues. It’s sad. We need to look after all our poor citizens in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    Great wee vid. Brings back many memories, especially the last few shots of the high flats in Wester hailed & sighthill. Growing up in Dumbryden, one of the seven estates that make up Westerhailes was great. Tough areas, a lot of poverty but as a kid it was brilliant. There were so many kids, you were never short of someone to play footie with in the carpark.

      I know anyone that's successful is a snob. I think that attitude of hatred of people who do well or the hatred of people because they have successful parents and through no fault of their own are brought up in say morningside and are therefore instantly snobs, ken, is just another form of prejudice and that hopefully in time moronic attitudes like that will die out. Scotland should not be ashamed of having successful people or a middle class. If the comments were being made by an asshole who happened to come from Barnton Avenue West about how they hated outsiders thinking that Edinburgh was full of schemies and crime and drug abuse and that everyone is a Ned that person would be thought of as a dickhead and rightly so. My father recently had major heart surgery and the two surgeons were clearly middle class and probably the result of private education. If this is what the middle class give us I'm not critical. I went to a council school and had I wanted I could of been a surgeon too had I worked instead of trying to fit in with assholes so that I would not be perceived as a swot. Working class kids can be the victim of this prejudice to through peer pressure to fit in.

They 'neds' who hassled the film crew at muirhouse shopping centre were within their rights to tell them to stop filming. They were making out as if they kids playing football were involved in the drug dealing that was going on. Plus that's their life, they didn't ask to be filmed living it - this isn't 'the scheme'
