Please support us by giving this video a big 👍! It really helps us and is appreciated. I have just posted an Edinburgh Festival Tips video here ➡️ czcams.com/video/TvkXqb6kB1s/video.html which has planning tips for anyone thinking of visiting Edinburgh. Enjoy!
You did not, it seems, climb to the summit of Arthur's Seat. What you show is mere the Salisbury Crags. There's still a further couple of hundred feet to go to get to the stop of the hill. So why claim you "climbed Arthur's Seat"? No you didn't...
It also seems you haven't grasped the significance of the word "Fringe". It is called that because it began life as a fringe group of mainly university shows from around the UK which decided to set up shop alongside the official Festival - The Edinburgh International Festival - in 1947, when the Festival first started. From its beginnings, in the late 1940s, early 1950s, the Fringe (originally much smaller than the Festival proper) has grown to become what it is today - the largest Arts festival in the world. But it is still the junior partner of the official Festival.
These guys are brilliant. The fact that it's all put together with an iphone really shows their natural skill for cinematography, editing and storytelling, or that other vloggers are wasting a LOT of dollar-bucks on unnecessary equipment (or probably both)
Yes my friend!
We LOVE Edinburgh so much, it's one of our favourite places in the U.K.! We love the arts too, and have wanted to go to Fringe for SO long! Thanks for giving us a glimpse! ❤️
I've just come back from the festival. I was hoping someone had made a video like this and here it is. Superbly done in all respects. Thank you!!
Thank you, you’re welcome! 😃
And he can actually pronounce the name of the city, which is much appreciated! It is very irritating when people post videos and claim to have been in a place called "Edin-BRA".
Always get excited when you post, another great video, keep it up! :D
Thank you! 😊
Cheers from St Augustine, Florida (oldest city in the USA). Glad I found your videos. Love them.
Hi. I’ve been to St Augustine! Lovely place! 😍 Glad you found us too. I don’t post very often so hopefully my current content keeps you entertained until the next one!
Love the suitcase monkey animation! So cute!
And loving your humour! Always such a joy to watch your travel videos because of your narrations!
🥰
Thank you so much for making this video. As August approaches I am searching on CZcams for videos to get me excited for it. I am going alone though for the first time this year for a few days. Bit nervous but I suppose being alone means I am free to do what I want when I want.
You’ll have a great time! Just watch lots of shows where you don’t anyway! 😜
Thanks for posting this video. My husband and I will be in London and Edinburgh next week and your videos helped us choose the places we want to visit.
Thank you! That’s great to hear. Have a great time!
Edinburgh is my most favourite city in the world. Such a beautiful mix of old and new and beautiful friendly people ❤️
I always enjoy your vlogs.. Love all the way from South Africa 👏🏽
Thank you!!!!!
Well this is just great. Thanks so much for coming to my show :).
It was our pleasure, we loved it! Looking forward to seeing your new show this year! 😊
Yeahhh ) waiting for it! Thanks
I liiiivvveeeee in Edinburgh!!!!
Such great videos!!! Thank you for doing all the work! We hope to be there for the festival!
You’re welcome! 😃
And another great video from you, thank you very much for new inspirations. I never heard of Fringe before, and now I want to go.
Blimey! You may have never heard of the Fringe but you will have heard of: Billy Connolly, Rachel Weisz, Robin Williams, Steve Coogan, Graham Norton, Craig Ferguson, Rowan Atkinson - just a few of the many names who started off performing there.
I'll be moving to London soon. You're literally my favorite travel CZcamsr as of recently! Love the humor, the content, the production and the voice overs. Congrats! Hope to see you somewhere around downtown London!
Thank you and welcome!
Loving this video ... not too far from me ... but I don't visit Edinburgh as much as I should ... must change that!
Great video. Edinburgh and The Fringe festival are definitely on my bucket list
Looooove Edinburgh!! Can't wait to be there again!!🧡🧡
Thanks, dude...
I'm quickly creating my final graphic design project and seeing this vlog really helped my memory when I visited Edinburgh. Also seeing these beautiful shots really helps flesh out my project...
Thanks...
Again, thank you so very much for inviting everyone to watch! Arigato.
My pleasure! Thanks for joining the live chat during the Premiere!
Loving your videos, and new subbie. Cheers from Eleuthera, Bahamas!
How are you still below 1 million followers!? This is so good. Loads better than stuffy travel channel docs and so watchable. I'm entertained by your style as well as your content. PS you're giving me serious wanderlust over here in pandemic-ridden, locked-down USA. Liked and Subbed!
I wonder this on a daily basis haha. It’s partly because I don’t play to CZcamss rules and make videos for the algorithm. But thank you. Spread the word if you enjoy. 😍
Thank u, as always very entertaining .😊⚘
I likey . thank you very much. Videography and editting and voice over are excellent. :D
Thanks for giving me the worst Fernweh in corona times! I love your videos - the bright and beautiful footage, your humor and you two seem like genuinely likeable people. Sometimes I rewatch your Japan videos on especially dreary indoorsy days. Today is such a day and this video has everything: a great city, views, people, food, arts, shows and livelyness that is sorely missed. Thank you for giving me so much inspiration and journeys to look forward to. Best wishes from austria
Thank you Anna, that’s lovely to hear you get so much from them. Makes it easier for me to justify the pain of editing them! 😭
@@SuitcaseMonkey how much does it take to edit them? As one CZcamsr to another? 😅
Another great vlog
Thank you for all your hard work
That abrupt cut after "he humped" was genius
I’ve just discovered your channel and love your videos. I’m from England but only recently moved to London and have planned my exploring around your suggestions! More short city breaks in less typical/visited European cities would be great 👍🏻
Not sure how well our plans will match that request but I’ll have a Bruges video out later in the year.
AGAIN this is the best travel channel everrr
Hehe thank youuuu!!!
I love Endinburgh was there three years ago and the city had not changed in the twenty years since I was last there not sure if I will be going there this year when I'm in the UK but hopefully will get a trip in somehow.
Great video
I love your chanel i like your all videos
Another amazing and really helpful video! Can't wait to see the festival next August xD
Me too! We are going again this year! I will have an Edinburgh Festival tips video out in a few weeks so keep an eye out for that!
@@SuitcaseMonkey That's great xD Thank you guys
Hey I really enjoy watching your videos and will definitely want to visit this places.
My favourite city. I cannot wait until Australia is fully vaccinated so I can head back to Scotland 😍😍
06:37 congratulations my friend I wish the best all of you.
Loved it
nice footage!
I’m in the fringe this year😆
Whats the show? We are going again this year!
Suitcase Monkey our rehearsals haven’t began yet so I’m not entirely sure😂 but I’m a musical theatre performer so something along the lines of that and instruments then afew different surprises in it
I love your channel, is very well done. If you ever come to Puerto Rico let me know.
Thank you my friend!!!
Really nice Fringe roundup! Glad you had a great time. Got us excited to be heading back to Voodoo Rooms again this year. Hopefully we'll see you guys there!
Yeah! We will be definitely going to see Dave again. We are there from the 7th for 4 days...
Cant wait to return to UK 👊👍👏👏😁
One day!!!!
So beautiful
Great info!!! Can you buy tickets in advance to some of the shows you missed?
Watch my other Edinburgh vlog which goes more into the details of this.
Love Edinburgh! Heading there for Christmas and Hogmanay this year - can’t wait.
Loved this video!!! Visiting Edinburgh in august next year and I had no idea this festival was even a thing. Whereabouts was that rooftop bar/resturant you were at at 5:03? Thank you!
Thank you! It’s on Victoria street. There’s some steps that take you up. It’s an open public area. I also did a tips video about Edinburgh which I think will help also.
👍 great
Im watching
You might get more views if you added more hashtags! Very good info in many videos, ty
Is there a festival in Edinburgh during the easter holidays?
Do you have videos on Stonehenge?
Sorry I do not
Where do you edit your videos? The quality of iphone video upload is really nice
I edit with Final Cut Pro
Interesting videos you make :-) I like them. What is that food you eating at 14:29? Looks familiar...
Thanks! Churros 😀
@@SuitcaseMonkey Unbelievable!!! Didn't expect to find you have something like this in UK:-) Here in Bulgaria we have толумбички, which, if we believe to Google Translate is actually the same. When I visit London I will definitely try churros :-)
One of the uks finest? 😂
The finest.
Can you provide the name of the Airbnb you recommend?
Hey, sure, it's this one. www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/17664006?guests=1&adults=1&source_impression_id=p3_1558303783_aHD%2FkFMn0MzVYOFA&sl_alternate_dates_exclusion=true
How much does it cost for the shows roundabout?
Mandi May Most around £5-10 or “pay what you think it’s worth” and some up to around £20. I’m posting a follow up video on Saturday with more planning details around visiting the Fringe so stay tuned for that...
Suitcase Monkey thank you. I’ll be there this August from Arizona
This year I paid an average of £7.60 including booking fee, mostly for comedy shows. Tends to be cheaper Mondays and Tuesdays than at the weekend. There's well over a thousand shows (mostly comedy) that you can get in for free if you're sufficiently ahead in the queue, though it is customary to leave at least a fiver in the bucket. Accommodation is a bit more pricey - very similar to London in August.
Make videoes on Europeien country
I have a European playlist with a bunch of videos in
There's no edinburgh in the fringe
It's always good until we tell you it's not .How come you were unlucky not to get the rain .So much to do and see in E .
That PowerPoint thing sounds suuuuuper boring
One play that EVERYBODY should watch this year is HART at Greenside (Infirmary Street). It's a short play about Alan L. Hart, a transgender doctor who made major breakthrough on tuberculosis. But the show is about SO MUCH more than that, it's a story that navigates brilliantly through subjects like love, betrayal and lgbtqia+ life in the roaring 20's in America. Do not miss it!!
