    Now up to 37m views. It's interesting to watch and see how much has changed and how much is still the same around Edinburgh.

    Video quality has certainly increased in the last 7 years.

    Making good use of the drones in the latest video. I'll have to get Danny's shortcuts to manage to take in Glenfinnan, Strathspey, the Pentlands and what looks like Conic Hill and Loch Lomond in one afternoon (and back again).

    I liked the new video, I think the Scottish landscape stuff adds an extra je ne sais quoi to his stunts compared to the last one that appeared to be done on the set of Tron. I definitely was left thinking the tourist board should buy the rights for this and use it as a marketing campaign.

    The light hearted bits like the cycling through the huge puddle was a nice touch, as was meeting his Grandad on the train platform at the end.
