One of the few decent places in Scotland, ruined by an incompetent council that fails to address the most basic of problems. Regarded by comedian Limmy as "de-facto English" when ironically half of Glasgow is loyalist.

The capital of Scotland that either full of English, people that want to be English or statues of English people. Only exception is August, then it's full of Japanese tourists.
Normal day in Edinburgh during August:Princes Street looks like there's a bus trip in from The Shire there's that many Japs about.
