really warm a nice day to walk around

there yeah share it with you guys but
great to come in nice and easy you can

it only saves a couple of quid I've just
paid on the door today I wanted to make
sure that you know I was gonna have time
to come up here and come and see it all
along with the rest of the city but yeah
just walked in just down here I'm about
to discover over 1100 years of history
for edinburgh castle and so you pay dust
out the ticket moves just down there and
you have your ticket check just here if
you don't want to come into the actual
castle itself you can actually just come
and stand up here get a little look at
the view from outside before you do get
your ticket checked and then obviously
you make your way through here you can
buy your audio guidebooks just here and
yeah this is like the main area that
leads round to the rest of the castle
look at this absolutely gorgeous
stunning views all across Edinburgh and
yeah let's get up a little explore here
on a venture Shaun looking forward to
this one Oh
so I'm starting off just here by walking
up the Lange stairs this is gonna take
me up to the summit of the Castle Rock
quite a lot of stairs I'm about halfway
up now I started all the way down the
bottom just there stunning views I can't
wait to see them from the top it's great
to come and discover this fantastic
castle
lots of people using the audio guidebook
you out nodes it's probably a really
good thing today I think it was only a
few pounds as well here we go round oh
why do we start
[Music]
is it a lot than at Mons Meg the world's
most famous medieval gun that was the
ultimate weapon of mass destruction in a
day Mons Meg Wade of six tons and good
fire 450 kilograms stone ball up to two
miles three point two kilometers Wow
look at this
you gonna please treat this grand old
lady with some respect so better than a
cat hello in the
[Music]
next up them let's go and take a little
stroll through st. margaret's chapel and
the oldest building here at edinburgh
castle we had to through this little
door just here
[Music]
this really is a fantastic structure to
see and the fact that it's all pretty
much still standing is also absolutely
awesome hears that a lot then at the
fall Wow for 500 years up to the 19th
century this was the castles main water
supply
it's 34 meters deep but the water level
was never enough to meet the demand
obviously it's quite hard to see down
there but you might be able to just make
out down the bottom there and a little
reflection of me just down there waving
in the water not too sure if that's
picking up on the camera that just shows
how deep it is down there 34 meters like
I say could do with a bit of lighting
down there to shine up there is a
shoulder style deep that actually is
[Music]
the views across Adam Brower absolutely
stunning you can just make out there
that huge set of hills over in the
distance and just on top there there's
actually people walking up there that
must be one of the local hiking areas
you can just make them out at the top of
the mound cuz I forgot I would zoom on
this camera look at them all up there
sitting up there enjoying the view in
the sunshine Wow but the views are even
more stunning from up the top there
looking across and limber and of course
beyond you can see that lot from here
never mind when you're all the way up
the top of that incredible
so it might be 18 pounds 50 to come into
Edinburgh Castle that sounds of June
2018
remember prices can change but what you
get for that money is absolutely
fantastic
obviously all the areas have got to be
maintained the upkeep of the castle is
fantastic and there's lots of different
walkthroughs and little things to go and
see here and there next up I'm gonna go
and see the Scottish crown jewels just
to hear the honours it's gonna have a
little look I climb this little stand
place just there inside this building we
add really well maintained I've just
been speaking to the staff about the
history all very friendly started
brewing there and you can actually go in
and see all these different rooms yeah
we've got a bit of an exhibition
[Music]
it's selling was a unique experience
getting to see the Scottish crown jewels
inside there unfortunately he wasn't
allowed to take any photos or video
footage inside that room I say room it
was like a sealed vault the doors
obviously all bolt closed at night
something sort of places where you'd
expect that to be like lasers across the
floor break the beam and it sounds like
a really loud alarm I was at the water
for two of course the sentimental value
behind them as well but say yeah great
Jack Cece those in the glass cabinet all
nicely lit only waited about five
minutes to get into that room it's worth
pointing out that if you do come to
visit edinburgh castle there is two ways
that you have to actually get into that
we've got the way which i did around
that side where there was hardly any
queue and you've got this one just
around the corner but this seems to be a
bit of a wait so it's well worth if you
come round into this section first maybe
a walk through one of these gaps then
coming to this section if you see that
queue don't wait there have a little
look around the corner there because it
might be worth doing that one because it
seems like that's the shortest Dierkes
will actually get into that section but
yeah then had a little walk around the
Royal Apartments that you just saw some
footage our van they were really nice
and now a lot of them have been restored
for the former glory all the ceilings
and everything I was reading a couple of
the plaques in there really nice to see
that they're all inside I love this
place it's definitely the nicest castle
have been two previous that sake was
Warwick Castle that I really enjoyed a
film that before over on my theme part
related channel theme parks worldwide
the next time I go there that war fits
into this category and I'll certainly do
a video around Warwick Castle that was
back before this channel existed around
going around and doing things like this
but yeah this is stunning I mean this
courtyard area now and this is brilliant
around here I got a look at all the
details I didn't realise quite how much
edinburgh castle was still standing it's
all very nicely looked after it is
gorgeous and so many little details to
see as well but look at the drainpipe
there all the gold on it and so you've
got a little much way over there
just get very busy here though obviously
a lot of tourists come in here that a
lot of different languages and a lot of
Americans here as well which is always
great look inside here now some sort of
church look this looks like a church
from the outside if it is it's got like
the stained-glass windows on either side
I got like the Royal Guard box is there
as well the Scottish National War
Memorial and memory of lives lost during
conflicts from 1914 to the present day
it's kind of a lot
[Music]
so just pay my respects then by taking a
walk through the War Memorial it's a
really nice building inside all the
architecture actually it was really new
very fresh inside obviously I know it's
not but yeah it's really well looked
after here at Edinburgh Castle it was
great to walk through and of course pay
my respects they've only just started
allowing photography in there as well
they don't like to take selfies and big
group photos but you can take photos of
course of the memorials and the building
itself and you may have noticed all the
different books in there as well they
allow you to look in those but you can't
take any photos then that little walk
down to David's Tower which was just
down there where you just saw them last
few shots from and then now it's time
for a walk in the Great Hall just
through this hallway just here so that's
gonna have a look live all these little
details when you come to somewhere like
this
[Music]
there really is so much to explore here
at Edinburgh Castle
I didn't realize quite how much there
was to see everything I've done so far
it's just been on this top section in a
moment I'm gonna take a stroll just down
here
well we'll follow on and let's see what
else there is to do but just here as
well is even a whisky shop so if you
like your whisky and finest foods then
make sure you come and check it out
looks like there's even some Edinburgh
Castle whisky there as well
[Music]
so you've just seen a few clips there
from inside the Royal Scots Museum lots
of different things to look at in there
and lots of different reading material
as well all the way around for paging
going for me that yeah right time for a
little look now down in the prisons and
other sections to explore yeah that's
and in Breaux castle then we'll start
off just over shall we
prisons of war so the prisons have been
recreated to look as they may have done
in 1781 so let's go round and have an
explore dark and gloomy round here all
these different set pieces in to
replicate what it would have looked like
stories prisoners and their different
tales I can't believe it honestly 18
pound fifty seems like a bargain really
how much there is to see here we've
already been here two and a half hours
and you know took my time but rush round
it's all but I certainly because spent
longer in certain areas especially if
you want to read all the boards and
things so really this is 100 percent
your thing that you are into and you not
just a to sort of look round and see
more of the building itself then it's a
full bit out for you
[Music]
playing some dominoes down there we go
which is a special mixture of fruits and
vegetables I have developed to counter
the because they demand a call from the
speak of the industry how much better
moved over them now into the military
prison this was built in 1842 extended
in the 1800s and was last use in 1923
it's all through having all these
individuals
[Music]
these showers just here install for
World War two can you see them
understand looking up a mistake that
really about to come where after it
closes up my shower
[Music]
and best are very comfortable Lily oh my
god
nicely
so in commerce Awards the end of my
visit now here to Edinburgh Castle
you've just seen some footage there from
inside another of the museums I'm just
about to go inside well I think is the
final one I've got to go through and
that's the Scotland National War Museum
it's in the building just over that all
of this statue just here in the middle
we've got another viewpoint just here as
well looking over the other side of that
number it's a little stroll out there
and this building here actually used to
be a hospital in 1897 originally built
in 1753 as an auden storehouse for arms
and military equipment and was later
converted into the hospital
the carrot the carrot in a hospital
there we go in 1897 yes like I said
let's have a look at this view point up
here I'll show you a little bit of
footage from inside the National War
Museum in Scotland
[Applause]
his lot they're handsome the different
posters that were put up to advertise
jobs in the army really quite
fascinating seeing all of these again so
much to read about all of this it's
definitely a full bag if you want to
know in depth about the history of all
of this during the aria
fascinating stuff to see
[Music]
and here was me thinking that was the
last museum only to walk through his
little look in the water clock gun
exhibition so they have a little stroll
around here who don't answer when
discover I keep thinking that some of
them to see here at in rucastle keep
seeing more yeah look at this mom was
there at the castle why I suppose you
can see all the areas where I've walk
around that started way back then we
start the vlog just over here yet what's
up them steps look just on the side I
made my way around doing all these
different areas what a stunning
structure currently setting up on the
fringes tonight's big grandstand and
everything they have like the tattoo
which takes place in August and I'm
select now so check out the website if
you're interested to see that
and we are some of the guns that have
been used to air
[Music]
so there we go that concludes my visit
here to Edinburgh Castle I've really
enjoyed going round there and seen it
all for the first time it really is a
spectacular building and the fact that
so much of it is still intact pretty
much everything there which makes it
even more incredible to walk around all
the different rooms the museums the
exhibitions for so much in the price for
18 pounds 50 you can get the audio guys
I think there were three pound 50 if you
do want to do that so really it's not
badly priced at all get wrong when I
first came up to it
I thought all 18 pound 50 maybe that'll
be a bit steep for what's inside
honestly there's so much there to see
there really is and the views are
absolutely fantastic across all of that
in Breaux obviously there's a few
different viewpoints because you've got
like a little column over the other side
where you can look over towards the
castle obviously you've got all the
hills and mountains around as well but
yeah the views here from the castle are
absolutely stunning I've really enjoyed
it and I hope you've enjoyed joining me
