Limmy claims 'Edinburgh isnae Scotland' and sparks heated debate

Popular Scots comedian Limmy savagely claimed 'Edinburgh isnae Scotland ' sparking a heated debate.

The comedian stated his opinion on his Twitch channel in response to a tourist who said they were considering moving to Auld Reekie after they had "fallen in love with Scotland".

But the comedian interrupted the live stream and claimed ' Edinburgh is England' in a hilarious rant on his YouTube Channel.

He said: "Edinburgh isnae Scotland! I've got nothing against the English but Edinburgh isnae Scotland.

"Edinburgh is England. I've got nothing against Edinburgh or the English, I love England and all that obviously, I'm just saying if you go to Edinburgh, that's no Scotland.

"I'm no saying it's a bad place or there's somethin' wrang wi it, it's just no Scotland.

"It's a kind of touristy place, it's a kind of English enclave - just like Corby down in England with lots of Scots there.

It's just no Scotland.

"If you want the true authentic Scottish experience, you've got to go to...naw no Glesga...to Shetland."

Since uploading the video, it has amassed over 23,000 views leaving fans divided in the comments.

One user just poked fun at Limmy and his struggle to praise England: "I love ..... England. Can hear the pain as he strains to make this lie work."

Another enjoyed his attempts to boost Shetland's tourism: "As someone that grew up in Shetland, I can confirm Limmy is a master troll with this attempt to send non-Shetlanders to Shetland."

While others didn't take his comments on the capital on board: "How to say "I've never been more than half a mile from Waverley station" without actually saying it."
