What Makes Edinburgh So Magical? From Harry Potter to Dark History

Is Edinburgh simply living off Harry Potter's legacy? Or does the city have its own powers of enchantment? DW's Gönna Ketels explores Edinburgh, the city that inspired J.K. Rowling. From a Harry Potter walking tour to Greyfriars Kirkyard, from a butterbeer at The Elephant House to the hidden streets beneath the city at The Real Mary King's Close, she goes looking for traces of the world-famous book series — and discovers the real city behind them. 00:00 Intro 00:32 where Edinburgh is located 00:40 old town and new town 00:47 Edinburgh Castle 01:13 The Royal Mile 01:41 Harry Potter Tour with Xander Arran Cowan from See your city 02:45 Greyfriars Kirkyard 03:24 George Heriot's School aka Hogwarts 03:50 The Elephant House Café 04:22 The Real Mary King’s Close, tour with Anna Dowling Clarke 07:55 The Scott Monument 08:10 Dean Village 08:29 The Scotch Whisky Experience, tasting with Annika Schneider 09:53 Deep-fried Mars bar 10:10 Arthur's Seat CREDITS: Report: Gönna Ketels Camera: Henning Goll Editing: Andreas Hyronimus Supervising editor: Christina Deicke ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to DW Travel youtube.com/dwtravel Would you like to find out more about DW Travel? ▸Facebook: facebook.com/dw.travel ▸Instagram: instagram.com/dw_travel DW Travel is showing you the captivating world of travel.
