Hello and welcome to Poet Goes Walking,
A channel which mixes photographs and talking.
Join me, Craig Gallacher, as I make my way
Along interesting routes on a pleasant day.
There will be plenty to see so keep your eyes peeled
As I start in Edinburgh before venturing further afield.
Each walk is as a poem described.
A few clicks is all it takes you to have subscribed.

My journey to YouTube began during Covid-19
To help deal with isolation when friends and family couldn’t be seen.
Combining existing interests in poetry and walking
I tried learning to make videos and narrate with some talking.

The background music in my trailer is my own song,
Something else new I tried - what could possibly go wrong?
Composed on a phone - no guitar or drums do I play,
It’s titled Carpe Diem which means seize the day.

Zum’s Auld Reekie Walks is the first series to air,
A six parter around Edinburgh I do fare.
I hope you enjoy accompanying me while I wander
Locally to begin with before heading yonder.
