With Edinburgh having been ranked as the UK’s most dog-friendly destination by dog food company tails.com, the video showcases the magic of the city through the eyes of intrepid local pooch Hamish, a West Highland Terrier who lives in the Craiglockhart area of the capital.
The video was filmed as part of The Story Never Ends, a campaign by Forever Edinburgh the city’s destination marketing guide. It captures the story of Hamish going ‘walkies’ around some of the city’s best-loved spots to show why Edinburgh, which is world-renowned for the story of one of the world’s most famous dogs, Greyfriars Bobby, is ideal for dogs and their humans. Hamish begins his day in the Capital by climbing the steps up from Waverley Station and checking in to the five-star surroundings of The Balmoral, the grand hotel overlooking the bustle of Princes Street, which welcomes dogs with Welcome Amenities consisting of a bed, water bowl and treats.
After checking out his dog bed at the hotel (and his human’s bed!), Hamish takes a short stroll to the ritzy new St James Quarter, the dynamic and dog-friendly retail and leisure district packed with shopping, dining and interactive experiences. Following a quick treat at the Lego Store, a quick ‘paws’ for a drink at one of the centre’s many water bowls, Hamish has a sniff around some of the other shops including jewelers, Goldsmiths.
The video captures how easy it is to get around the city with dogs: with Hamish taking a tram ride along Princes Street before hopping off and having a wander around Princes Street Gardens and admiring the Ross Fountain and Edinburgh Castle.
To refuel, Hamish heads down to the Stockbridge, the village-y neighbourhood to the north of the city centre, and pops into the dog-loving restaurant, The Scran & Scallie. After the pitstop at Tom Kitchin’s renowned gastropub, Hamish heads back up to Edinburgh’s Old Town before ending the day with a visit to one of the city’s most famous and dog-friendly attractions, the Camera Obscura & World of Illusions.
