Charlotte Brontë in Edinburgh: Exploring Her 1850 Visit

In June 1850, Charlotte Brontë visited Edinburgh with her publisher George Smith — a short trip that stirred gossip and offered her a chance to follow in the footsteps of Sir Walter Scott. In this video, I explore the city she saw, visiting key landmarks like the Scott Monument, Melrose Abbey and Arthur’s Seat, while sharing what her letters reveal about this unusual journey. I also show you where I stayed and take you around Edinburgh early in the morning — the best time to avoid the crowds and soak up the atmosphere of this historic city. If you're a Brontë fan or love literary travel, I think you'll enjoy coming along. . #charlottebronte #brontë #brontesisters #edinburgh #sirwalterscott #brontëfamily #georgesmith #victorianliterature #brontëcountry #literaryhistory #melroseabbey #scottmonument #arthursseat #englishliterature #bronteinspired #historicaltravel #bronteedinburgh . // BUY ME A BREW \\ If you'd like to support my channel, I have a Ko-Fi account where you can donate the cost of a brew.

Upon relocating to Yorkshire with my husband, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the village of Haworth, home of the Brontë Sisters and my obsession grew. It was during the challenging days of the Lockdown in 2020 that I decided to channel my passion into action. Disappointed by the lack of quality Brontë-themed goodies available, I embarked on a mission to create my own and my online shop was born. Since then, I've immersed myself in the world of literature, attending Book Festivals and events across the UK. Inspired by my adventures and encouraged by the enthusiastic response from fellow Brontë enthusiasts on social media, I decided to share my experiences through YouTube videos.
