450 million years ago, Scotland was part of the same continent as North America. Since then it split away as the Atlantic ocean formed. So the extinct volcano the castle stands was created during the early stages of the formation of the Atlantic Ocean.

Once again great video guys! To those interested: Dolly the sheep was basically cloned by obtaining the entire DNA from any cell of the body of the original sheep. This DNA was then inserted into the egg of a “donor” female sheep (original DNA in the egg was removed) using an ultra fine syringe like needle. This modified egg was then implanted into the uterus of the surrogate mother. If all goes well, couple months later a kid is born that is mostly identical to the original. I say mostly because the mitochondria (which is the powerhouse of the cell) also has its own DNA which is structurally similar to that of many bacteria. This mitochondrial DNA is then transferred from mother to all children; males do not transfer this DNA. Therefore, Dolly the sheep is actually is slightly different than the original because that mitochondrial DNA was that of the the egg cell.

Then as you crest the ridge and start descending amazing vistas of moors & fields & rivers & valleys. Absolutely stunning. (On a business trip several many (30+ ?) years ago had one free day & drove straight north from Stirling to Loch Ness then back down the west coast at high speed on the "wrong" side of narrow roads with dry laid rock walls where the white lines are "supposed" to be (for USA folks) screeching to a stop taking pictures of anything that caught our eye.

Many of the locals would agree with you regarding the price of entry into the Castle. Not many Edinburgers have been inside the Castle. I was lucky, as my job was as a Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages and I have performed weddings inside Edinburgh Castle. The only place I couldn't perform a ceremony was in St Margarets Chapel as only religious celebrants can perform ceremonies in religious buildings. Marriages are still performed in the Chapel with a few guests. Because Edinburgh is basically overrun with tourists, the council wanted to give something back to the locals. So for 2 days (usually a weekend in September) they have a "doors open" day. Whereby entry to all castles, museums, and many many other places of interest is free on those days. It allows us to appreciate the riches of our fair city.

As a bus driver in edinburgh, the best advice I can give you is, ask, ask the driver to let you know where to get off, the driver does know how much money you put in, but you still need to specify what type of ticket you need, or if you need more than 1. There are travel shops around the city to buy passes and it would have been better value for you too.

The reason many buildings are black is due to the soot in the atmosphere before The Clean Air Act, after which air pollution was greatly reduced. So throughout the country up until the c 1960's factories and houses used coal fires which meant the air was badly polluted and buildings stained with soot. Many places have cleaned up polluted buildings but a lot remain as with the Scott Memorial.

They would cut it up for breakfast re-heated or just take it out into the fields to eat as they worked.

The main bus company in Edinburgh is Lothian. If you go to the Travel shop at Waverley bridge you can get a day ticket ( £4.00 ). It is a scratch card where you just scratch of the day , month and year. It s valid on both the bus and tram and you just show it to the driver as you board the bus. It saves a lot of money if you want to nip on and off a lot.

hey guys this is why this building(and others) are black: "Over the years, the original pale sandstone and white marble had darkened to sooty black as a result of air pollution. Now Scott's statue is again white and the new stonework is the original light colour. It was decided not to clean all the sandstone, to prevent further damage.". same with the Glasgow buildings, the cleaning was actually damaging.

When you drop your money into the machine on the bus. All the cash is held in view betwen a flat metal plate and a glass screen. If you do not put enough in the driver can let you see the box and you can count the money held behind the glass. Once the ticket(s) are bought the coins are released into the money box below. Also if the fare had changed from £1.60 to £1.70 only the week before, there is usually a weeks amnesty when the fare increases for a week. Also there are two main shops just off Princes Street where you can buy, day passes, week passes, two week passes and for workers monthly or annual passes. You pass also gets you free rides on the trams.

When you mentioned that the Scott Monument might be made out of a special kind of stone that attracts the dirt you were exactly right. When they built it in the 1840s they wanted it to look old because it was built in the gothic style. So they used a specific stone which was very pale when quarried but quickly blackened on exposure to the air. It’s often been suggested that it should be cleaned, but that would be pointless as it would quickly dirty again.

All major ports within the Empire at one time had a gun which was sounded at one O'clock so that ships could accurately set their cronographs which played such an important role as an aid to navigation. Even though Edinburgh isn't right on the coast it's port Leith is less than 2 miles from the city centre.

You didn’t meet Scottish people at tourist sites, as the locals don’t go to them! Edinburgh is my second home.💖 Tablet is easy to make, I make it every Christmas. What you tried had too many additives. It’s just butter, condensed milk and sugar, maybe a bit of vanilla. The crumbles left over can be used to sweeten your coffee!

Thank you for this. As with so many who are Edinburgh residents or very familiar with the city, I enjoy seeing the reactions of newcomers experiencing the place I love. I should add that the 'sausage roll' Kyde experienced was not a proper sausage roll. The real thing, from my experience, is a sausage in a pastry roll more like that of the pasty. Regarding your comments re: the buses. As of 2019 there are video screens being introduced to Edinburgh buses that indicate the upcoming stops and, if I recall correctly, how many minutes until that next stop. As for a transport pass in London, one can get an 'Oyster Card', which is essentially a pre-paid debit card that can be 'topped up'. Such cards can be purchased at stations (typically a machine adjacent to the ticket machines. A refundable £5 fee is charged for the card and one can include whatever amount for intended use. These are 'tap 'n' go' cards, so extremely convenient in the busy underground stations - though 'tap in' and then 'tap out' at the other end to avoid getting overcharged. For visitors to Edinburgh, the best bet appears to be a day bus pass (about £4), which can be purchased on the bus. Lengthier passes are available from the ticket office on Waverley Bridge (by the Waverley Train Station on Princes St.), but I believe the shortest duration is 4 weeks. As you suggest, some aspects of Edinburgh are not geared for tourists...or even for the locals.

Yay for the screens! That will help a lot. We used the Oyster card in London, and have a similar system here in Tokyo, makes things super easy. Glad you enjoyed, by the way! -E

The Craigleith Sandstone attracts the particulates in the air and the monument is beside the railway station, so what you see is mostly from the old steam engines. A decision was made a while ago not to clean it for that reason.

I lived and worked in Edinburgh for 7 years and have been in Hong Kong for the lat 18. I sympathise with the Noon Day Gun analogy!! My office was in Lothian Road and the gun nailed us everyday! Now as a member of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, I get done all over again!

Hope you enjoy it, one of my personal favorites. Don't know how far north you went, but I know Skye is beautiful and Eilean Donan Castle is probably the quintessential Scottish Castle, also with movie significance, in the 80's.

Bus travel can be confusing. Two or more independent bus companies can cover the same area each with their own prices and ticket types. Trying to work out the cheapest fare can be a nightmare as it will depend on your journey, number of passengers, time of year, time of day, your age and ticket type. Most companies offer discount prices for things like return journeys, all-day travel and group travel. However, with some companies you have to specifically ask for these whereas others automatically calculate it for you and deduct it from your smart ticket (if you have one). Some tickets can be used with more than one bus operator (and on trams and trains) and some cannot. Some tickets can be purchased from the driver and some cannot. Some tickets can be purchased in advance and some cannot. Some operators give you change and some do not. And every time you visit a different city/area you have to research the ticketing policy and ticket types on the internet before you go. Just to confuse things, some local authorities offer cheap all-day tickets for travel on all buses/trains within their area (such as the Derbyshire Wayfarer). Also, you can sometimes buy a really cheap bus ticket for all-day travel at your destination when you buy a train ticket online.

Hmm, I used to live in Farnham in the district of Waverley in Surrey. Named for nearby Waverley Abbey, founded by Cistercian monks back in 12th C, now a ruin after the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. Possibly source for name of your town and Scott's novels. Farnham's a gorgeous, chocolate-box English town, castle and all. Train 55 mins to London, and not far from Jane Austen's cottage. Maybe worth a look if you ever visit England - though you'd have to report how it compares to Baltimore.

The best bit of the pasty is the "noggin" the crimped bit at the end. If it's of interest...pasties come from the South West from coal mines, reason for the crimping is that for the miners lunches in the olden days the wives made pasties with the crimped bit so that they could hold the pasties with their coal/arsenic hands without contaminating the pasty. Back then one half would be savoury, the other sweet. Pasties are numerous in the South West with various flavours. Also.. did you manage to try cream teas whilst you were in the UK?
