Can you defeat our ultimate Edinburgh citizenship test and prove you're a proper local?

Edinburgh is a city of contradictions, weird facts, history, and strange sights - which you gradually begin to learn more about the longer you live in the Scottish capital.

There are several marks of being a 'true' Edinburgher. You certainly don't have to have been born here, but you do need to learn about the city's odd habits in order to understand what the heck is going on.

To test how much insider knowledge you've absorbed during your time in Edinburgh, we've put together our very own 'citizenship test' full of quirky questions. We basically want to make sure that you're definitely not from Glasgow, to be honest. You lot have your own website, what are you doing here?

So without further ado, here is our ultimate citizenship test. You have to get over 10/14 to pass. Do you think you can handle it? Let us know how you get on in the comments.


Did you pass? Did you fail? It doesn't matter either way, we'll still let you into our All About Edinburgh group on Facebook, a place you can either share your knowledge of Edinburgh or learn a bit more about our fair city.

To receive one WhatsApp message a day with Edinburgh Live's headlines, as well as breaking news alerts, text NEWS to 07899067815. Then add the number to your contacts as 'Edinburgh Live'.
