AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS IN EDINBURGH
AN UNFORGETTABLE CHRISTMAS IN EDINBURGH// In today's video we take you on a visit to Scotland's capital: Edinburgh! We explore festive Edinburgh and visit iconic Edinburgh Castle which was transformed into a mesmerising spectacle of lights and colour providing the perfect backdrop for this magical place. We visit the Christmas market and last but not least enjoy a festive afternoon tea at the Balmoral Hotel. We give you a room tour of the very special place we stayed at and show you a beautiful tweed shop. If you love tweed you will fall in love with it. Even though we experienced heavy rain throughout, we hope you will still enjoy the video.
It was a definitely a very memorable trip for us! Kirsten& Joerg

Not to worry, Kirsten we appreciate everything you both do. Always look forward to your wonderful videos!! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!
Thank you so much, so kind!
So true!
Yes ! The sun shine inside you in Every video❤
The tea, the festive city, the room and seeing you two happy is delightful! Excellent job
Thanks so much! 😊
Being 74 yrs young but no longer physically able to travel, I derive so much enjoyment from your narratives. You allow me to travel to such beautiful places. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Don't be disappointed Kirsten, Edinburgh, everyone knows it rains. It's part of a charm. The video is stunning beautiful as usual. But when you come in from the rain and you get all cozy and warm, it's a beautiful feeling. Thank you again for another beautiful beautiful video and thank you to KZhead for finding beautiful things and beautiful people to watch.😊
Thanks so much Emma! I know, it's because I do it fulltime it was quite hard because we weren't really able to film with our good camera and I felt so ashamed with the 'cheaper' camera as the quality of the video isn't that good.
You just gotta love Jörg, he's so optimistic, nothing seems to bother him, even when it rains cats and dogs. And dear Kirsten, you don't have to apologize for the weather. Edinburgh is gorgeous, with or without the rain. I would even stroll through its cemetery, just to find some names from Harry Potter. 😆 You did a great job, as always. Thank you. 😊
You are so kind, thank you so much! Oh absolutely, the cemetery is amazing, we could have stayed an entire day.
@@KirstenJoerg Forgot to mention. Love your new boots. You did a beautiful purchase. 👌😎
@@VionaBeeThanks so much! I will wear them for many many years.
I haven't watched your. vids for quite a while (no time) , but now I do it again. They are so beautiful and soothing, as before. And I still admire your taste in clothes so much. Love all of your outfits. Big compliments!
@@KirstenJoerg Thanks for the tip, I'm due in Edinburgh next august and will most probably visit the cemetary .
The great thing about a rainy day is that it feels so wonderful to come indoors, dry off, warm up, and enjoy a hot beverage. ☔
That is a plus to a rainy day on vacation.
Even though the weather was uncooperative for some of your filming, you still managed to provide a gorgeous visit to Edinburgh. As someone who adores rainy days, the reflections in the streets were gorgeous. Please don't be disappointed...it was a beautiful visit to a magical city. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas🎅
Many thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!
We don't care what the weather is doing wherever you are because, Kirsten and Joerg, you always brighten and make our days more enjoyable! Never stop what you are doing because you are so awesome! Merry Christmas to you both from Tucson, Arizona USA!
Wow, thank you! Merry Christmas to you too.
Очень приятная пара. Желаю им всего хорошего, добра и любви.
Flexibility is always the key to enjoying any adventure. Joerg looks so handsome in his tweed jacket!
Kirsten: "Oh, wait, you're the dreamboat!" Joerg: "I don't look like a ship. I'm not a boat." This had me cracking up. 😂 Aaaah, Edinburgh is so beautiful in the rain!
Hahah so glad it did!
Absolutely beautiful video!❤ And no need to apologize for the weather…it made everything sparkle ✨ and cozy. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much - that's very kind.
🎄Happy Christmas Kirsten and Jörg! This is just a wee thank you for all of your *exceptional* weekly video's. No matter what hardships we endure, your videos brighten life. 💖 Sending blessings and much love always, all the very BEST in 2024. xoxo
Oh my goodness Susen, you are so so kind! Thanks so much for your support. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2024 too.🙏🙏
This video shows again how talented you both are. It was pouring rain, and yet you still managed to make an enchanting and magical video! 😍 I also loved the room and the contrast between the warm, cosy, colourful interior and the monochrome, stoney view through the window. Thank you so much for another lovely video! 🤗
Thank you so much!
25:13 Kirsten: _You_ are the dreamboat. Joerg: I don't look like a ship. I am not a boat. 😂😂😂You are both too adorable!
Hahah, so glad it made you laugh! Thanks so much!
Hello from France ! You should receive an award for filming such beautiful Town and landscapes. Thank you so much both for your kindness. Take care of yourselves.
Thanks so much!
What may seem like relentless rain to you is barely a sprinkle to us. All I saw was sparkle, festivities, glittering lights, beautiful architecture, cozy accommodations and 2 of my favorite people on the planet. Thank you for a lovely video. NEVER disappointing.
Thank you so much!
Кирстен и Йорг, спасибо большое вам за видео! Всё великолепно! Мне очень понравилось! У вас отличный вкус!🙂👍💯🎄❤️
Hey don't apologise, always enjoy your vlogs. Remember content isn't the most important thing, it's being with the one you love. As Barry White sang "walking in the rain with the one I love feels so fine". It's me and hubby's fav thing to do walk in the rain, huddled under umbrella, soooo romantic❤
Two Germans in England: Edinburgh was charming, regardless of the weather. We saw hospitality . There were inviting warm places for teatime. The architecture was beautiful. I am sorry you got wet, but for me, there was no disappointment . As always, your relationship was radiant with each other and that brings out the sunny feelings, regardless of the rain!
Thank you for enduring the rain to provide a wonderful video for us. That green tile in the bathroom and room was cozy and beautiful ❤. The afternoon tea looked delicious. Sorry it rained so much. You guys are champs.
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you so much!
It doesn't matter about the rain you still gave us a wonderful experience in Edinburgh. Photography is exquisite so thank you for sharing. Watching this video from Boston, Massachusetts USA!
I too love the gorgeous green tiles in the bathroom as well as the green walls in the bedroom . I love the interior design of all these places they visit .
Thank you for filming what you did! Kirsten, you and Joerg bring the sun wherever you go!🥰
Thanks so much!
I just love you guys! You both are so cheerful and full of hope and dreams and you bring so much joy to our lives with your videos. It's so nice to sit down with a cup of tea and watch your weekly videos.
Thank you so much!!
You two are full of surprises!! We never know where you will take us next! Thank you for this amazing treat! Rain or sun - Edinburgh is magical! It is Scotland after all. Famous for its “liquid sunshine”. You both did a great job in dealing with the weather! Loved this!
Thanks so much! Oh yes, Edinburgh is magical as is the rest of Scotland.
Thank you for the trip to Edinburg. Even though it was raining, it was still beautiful and fun with you two. 🥰🥰
Thanks so much!
Radosnych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia i hucznego Nowego Roku 2024. Dzięki za film.🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
No matter the rain it was wonderful! Loved the boots and the tweed jacket! ❤
Thank you so much!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It is a slice of reality. We have all gone somewhere with high hopes and found that nothing went quite as we had hoped. The wonderful thing is that you made the most of a wet situation and had fun anyway. That is an important lesson for all of us. I love Joerg's new tweed jacket and your new boots Kirsten. Thank you for your videos and bless you both.
Kirsten and Joerg both look amazing
Thanks so much!
Good Afternoon Kirsten: Wednesdays are so much better with your Video's. See you Tonight 20.30 sharp 😘❤️
Thanks so much! See you tonight!
No need to apologize for the weather. The video was filled with beauty and wonder and Christmas magic and it came out very special! Excellent new tweed jacket and boots! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Words are inadequate to express how much you both are loved by your viewers. I feel inspired after viewing every single one of your beautiful adventures. You know, we are all quite envious but we do love you guys so very much!!
I cannot tell you enough The video was perfect rain and all it's only water imagine if it was snow. It would be a lot harder. It was so lovely. I really look forward to everything you put out. I'm so glad I found you both. In this crazy world today it's a diamond.😊
Thanks so much! Oh snow would have been a little easier for us to handle with the camera tbh.
Even in the rain Edinburgh is beautiful. Thanks for the video!
Kirsten, as much as we love the beautiful places you provide for us, we are tuning in to see you and Joerg primarily. We’d tune it to watch you show us a dog house! We’re here for you two.
Thanks so much!
Walking in the rain looking at amazing places shops etc. Having afternoon tea, buying a lovely pair of boots ,what more is needed oh yes your Dream boat😊 thank you for this video
Замечательная поездка Эдинбург. Прекрасные прогулки по городу. Погода не испортила впечатления. Всегда с нетерпением жду ваши видео. Смотрю с трепетом. Люблю вас!
Joerg you look very handsome in jacket 😊
Thank YOU!
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, You can:t control how much it rains, but you can make the best of it and you have done that by showing us what you can of Edinburgh. Thank you so much for sharing, always appreciated!😊
Thank you so much!
Goodmorning, rain or shine still a beautiful setting, the bag pipers, Carolers ,handsome tweed jackets, delicious afternoon tea all the trimming for a festive holiday season, Many blessings to both of you. 🍷☕❤🇬🇾🇺🇲
Thanks so much - to you as well!🎄
Joerg says "Hmmm, it's raining, it's been so dry here!" HILARIOUS. Rain or shine or snow, nobody does videos as beautiful as yours; especially at Christmas. Thank you for another adventure. Merry Christmas Kirsten and Joerg. May your Christmas be filled with much happiness and joy.
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you too!🎄
Ich war 2x in Edinburgh und habe die Stadt sehr genossen, aber war nie an Weihnachten dort. Es ist bestimmt sehr schön❤. Freue mich aufs Video😊
I always expect it to rain in Scotland…then I am never disappointed. It’s part of the charm. Beautiful jacket Joerg!
Even all that rain can't turn either of you into sour-Krauts. You make even that cheerful and gorgeous. Great new shoes Kirsten and fabulous tweed jacket Joerg. It was wonderful to see Edinburgh all dressed up for Christmas.
It is like being transported to another planet when I watch your videos. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I am truly fascinated. I appreciate all you two do in putting your videos out! I look forward to them! Thank you!
Thank you so much, that's really kind!
Despite the weather, you both did a great job taking us along. Can’t do anything about the weather, so you just have to make the best of it. Which you both did. Thanks for taking us along 😍😘
Thanks so much!
Don't feel bad for 1 second. EVERYTHING you and Joerg film is special to us. The successes and the disappointments. Life is that way and that's ok. 😊 And of course an inevitable smile came over my face when you lifted your plate of food Kirsten and that beautiful, dimple framed smile of yours warmed my heart as always and filled me with joy. I love you both so much. I couldn't imagine my tv time without you. You're just wonderful...❤ Thank you for all the happiness you bring to me...
You are so kind Deborah, thank YOU!
I happen to like rain and bright sunlight just hurts my darn eyes. I loved this video and the city still looked magical. A weekend like that is all about dodging raindrops and then running inside and being cozy. Good job, as always.
Despite the rain, you managed to capture the Christmas spirit in Edinburgh, and the jazz accompaniment is just enchanting! Many thanks for taking me away!
I totally agree with you!
You always manage to show us magical places and this is no exception. Despite the rain, Edinburgh has the sound of bagpipes, amazing Christmas decorations and your eye for showing us the best of any city you visit. Didn’t mind the rain at all. It’s been raining non stop in southwest France so feels familiar and yes frustrating. Beautiful Airbnb. Well done ❤❤
Thanks so much! Oh absolutely, we always love the sound of bagpipes and we love the Scottish people, they are lovely. Stay dry.
The rain makes NO difference!!! It’s beautiful and it’s winter. It’s suppose to rain there. It just makes the beautiful lights even brighter, and makes your tour sooo much cozier! You don’t need to apologize for the rain. It’s still beautiful!
Hello Kirsten and Joerg, just checking in from Lake Norman, North Carolina. So so looking forward to today’s inspiring video.
Dear Kirsten and Joerg, You always find the loveliest places to stay, your hotel room was gorgeous. I love dark green/ Hunter green on the walls, it makes a room feel very cosy, especially in Winter. Joerg's tweed jacket is gorgeous,very good quality,as are your boots Kirsten. Please don't apologise for the rain my dears, it's not your fault, and Scotland is usually quite rainy. This video was still beautiful, as are all your videos. God bless you both this festive season.❤
Thank you so much! So glad you liked the room. It's actually not a hotel, it's a room that you can rent via Airbnb - it's amazing.
Its time for beauty and wonderfull momwnts!Hi Kirsten and Jiorg!Looking forwored to see tour new video!Wow!
We also had a lovely, rainy time in Edinburgh when we were there and we enjoyed your laughter and fun! Thank you.
kirsten and Joerg loved whst you could show.Absolutly beautyful.Love you both.
Rain or no rain, Edinburgh is magical! Thank you for bringing us along with you. The video is special😊
Thanks so much! Oh yes, a magical and beautiful place.
Even tho the weather didn’t cooperate, it was still a lovely video of Edinburgh. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗🎄
Can I just say your videos always give me a feeling of cosiness and a warm hug, regardless of the weather. It's you two that give me that feeling. Lots of love 😊
So so incredibly kind, thank you so much!
What a fun adventure. The weather didn't cooperate but you bought some lovely souvenirs! When you wear your purchases you'll always remember your rainy holiday weekend and all the friends you brought with you from all around the world! Merry Christmas!❤
Edinburgh is my most favorite city in the world. I've been there quite a few times now, but I still have to schedule a trip in the christmas season sometime because OMG look at all the lights and decorations!! Even in the rain; lovely. Thanks for sharing.
That was great. The rain can never spoil your videos. Thank you both! 😊
Thanks so much!
One more thing.....Joerg looks so handsome in his new tweed! and oh those wonderful shoes for you Kirsten!
You captured the very essence of this magical city! My children and I ventured to Edinburgh from the US in June and absolutely fell in love with this city as well as Scotland! Thank you! By the way, the rain sparkles only added to a bit of festive look and glistened on the streets! Do not apologize…the video was lovely!
Não se preocupe Kirsten, sua companhia com chuva também é muito interessante e vocês dois formam um casal "Perfeito"...Edinburgh é uma cidade maravilhosa...acompanho o canal de um morador da cidade e ele sempre comenta sobre o tempo, mas mesmo assim, quando o sol aparece é um verdadeiro deslumbramento. Beijos, Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.😍☔☔
Thank you Kristen and Jorg for the Edinburgh Christmas tour. I was in the UK from 1992 to 1995 and in that period it rained a lot. My MG convertible rarely had the top down! But I did walk the Royal Mile and your weekend brought back fond memories. I especially enjoyed your afternoon teas and all the decorations. You took it in stride and even kept your umbrellas from turning inside out! ~ Diane
Thanks so much! Oh trust me, Jörgs umbrella kept turning upside down. We couldn’t use our umbrellas at the castle but the rain and wind were so heavy that we had to leave.
I still loved it! You still did a great job showing us such a beautiful place. Even in the rain so fun to see so much. Thankyou both so much I really enjoyed it! 😘😘🎄🍾🥂
Beautiful bonnie Scotland!.. ❤ the video and Edinburgh always looks great rain or shine, thank you for sharing it with us all!..
Thanks so much!
oh my Kirsten ..you both certainly get around .thats wonderful .. . I can't wait 🌲🌲❤️
Never mind the weather. It was a lovely video, full stop!🤗👍🏻💕
Thank you so much!
Despite the rain it looked like a wonderful weekend! Seems like you enjoyed yourselves. Thank you for taking us along!
Despite the weather you always make it amazing. You are the ones suffering we are cozy at home.
I really enjoy the videos and the travels you both take. Good quality and love the German traditions and culture you both share with us.
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for an absolutely beautiful video. I love all of your music selections in your videos. Seasons greetings from across the pond. 🎄❄🎁
Thank you very much! Happy holidays!
I’m looking forward to this, I love Edinburgh, never been at Christmas though. I bet it’s very festive ❤😊
So glad you love Edinburgh too, we have a huge weakness for Scotland in general.
Even with the rain, it was lovely. The Christmas decorations and lights were spectacular.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful,can hardly wait to see it🤗
Even though you had weather issues, I think this video turned out wonderfully. The area is just gorgeous and so festive. Thank you for sharing your weekend with us.
Thank you so much! Oh yes, Edinburgh is beautiful.
Don't feel so bad about a wet Edinburgh.. i simply loved it.. Edinburgh has never looked so beautiful before.. another era, another world.. as if time never moved on.. so charming.. thankyou..
Thank you so much! Yes, Edinburgh is beautiful!
Não fiquem decepcionados, o vídeo está lindo e amamos a companhia de vocês. Beijos de uma brasileira morando na França 🇫🇷 🇧🇷 ❤
No matter the rain everything you filmed was wonderful. Their Christmas decorations are beautiful!
Thank you so much!
So beautiful..always liked Edinburgh…also love the Tweeds & Tartans…unfortunate about the rain however it is still a pleasant video…thanks
Even though it was raining most of the time, it was still a delightful video! Edinburgh seems like a great place to visit.
Thanks so much!
Well, the rain didn't stop me from loving the video. You always do such a nice job for us. And we are grateful!
Rain, no matter, I had a great time. What a beautiful city. I loved it all and the cemetery was completely fascinating. Thanks again for a wonderful trip.
Esperando un nuevo vídeo tan bonito como siempre ❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘
It was nice seeing Edinburgh at Christmas time. Thank you for the beautiful video.
We have to thank YOU!
You don’t need to apologize for what you were unable to show us, you still showed me more of Edinburgh at Christmas than I’ve ever seen before! I really enjoyed the video.
Thanks so much!
It’s so refreshing to see, just like us, the best laid plans sometimes do not go the way you would hope. Sharing this aspect helps us all to accept we just have to go with the flow and make the best of it sometimes. I appreciate your genuine experience and openness. Merry Christmas Kirsten and Joerg. Thank you for all the lovely content this year.
Loved this video, highlights for me were the cemetery, piper in his kilt, green walls orange curtains, beautiful Christmas lights, Kirsten’s boots ❤👏
Oh so glad you liked it, thank you so much!
Ανυπομονώ να το δω❤🙋👌🥰καλα Χριστούγεννα να έχετε πάντα μαζί με υγεία ευτυχία αγάπη 🎄🎄🎄🎄🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Rain or shine or wind or even snow, it really doesn't matter! You shared an authentic Edinburgh Christmas experience and it was still beautiful! Typical Scottish winter weather! Joerg's new tweed is fantastic! So elegant! And your boots - Wow! Brown compliments every colour (and your lovely hair too). I love Edinburgh. It is so 'Harry Potter', especially the cemetery! What an incredible place to explore! The Christmas Tea looked so delicious! All the fancy sandwiches, scones, cakes, and tea! Yum! Thank you for sharing the wonderful holiday adventure! It worked out beautifully for subscribers. Thanks again!
Thanks so much, so kind! Oh yes, the cemetery is amazing and a visit highly recommended. It might sound strange but you could easily spend an entire day there.
Joerg, you Are a "dreamboat!" Love you both - adorable!
Can’t do anything about the weather…always enjoy an adventure with the two of you. Thank you. Christmas blessings to you both🙏❤️🎄
Thanks so much - Merry Christmas to you!
Beautiful rooms and raining day takes you back to Beautiful place to cozy up at. Thank you for sharing. Love from Texas❤❤❤🤠
Thank you so much!
Schade daß ihr nicht so schönes Wetter hattet, aber ihr trotzdem alles genossen habt, dieser einzigartige Friedhof, der Tee mit dieser Etagere und den Köstlichkeiten in diesem schönen Hotel .Vielen lieben Dank für eure Mühe und wir euch wieder begleiten durften🙏🙋♀️🇩🇪
Ja, da hatten wir Pech aber wir haben versucht, das Beste daraus zu machen - irgendwie. Der Friedhof ist wirklich ganz toll - da kann man locker den ganzen Tag verbringen. Ganz liebe Grüße und dankeschön!
Dear Kristen and Joerg thank you so very much for this magical Christmas in Edinburgh. You both did a wonderful job. Everything was so beautiful. Loved everything that you’ve filmed. I’m sorry you were so stressed, Kristen because of the weather. You never need to apologize for it. After all it is the UK and rain is most always on the menu. Joerg love your optimism. Nothing ever seems to phase you. You are a wonderful companion for Kristen. Your cool and chilled Personality is a great support for her. You’ve both done a wonderful job. Thank you! Thank you!! Merry Christmas. Happy Christmas to you.
You guys have no reason to apologize at all! Thank you for a beautiful video, the decorations inside & outside this town are amazingly spectacular! Thanks for a beautiful video and for sharing it with us! The tweed blazer and the boots are very nice, Joerg is a gentleman even without the blazer! Merry Christmas! ❤❤
Just enjoying you two is festive and enjoyable enough!
Rain added to the ambience, I think. Still loved Edinburgh with you!
It was a wonderful impression of the festive Edinburgh, great decoration all over the city and your room was worth seeing, such interesting colour concept, thank you very much, will watch it again.
