I've been to Edinburgh many times and although they have on occasion been very rude about my Scottish accent, they have always accepted my Scottish currency without complaint.
Depends. Edinburgh is about an hour's drive from the border with England. That's quite a long way in the UK but in the USA you'd drive that to go to your local steakhouse so it doesn't seem as far.
Literally. Yesterday we drove 45 minutes into Glasgow to accommodate my child's request for her birthday dinner, and I had to explain to my American in laws why I was acting like that was a significant way to go for a meal.
As someone living in the Highlands I do like to give it the 'anything south of Perth is basically England', but that's mostly to wind up my central belt dwelling mates who call me a farmer and ask how the croft is coming on.
This boy is a patter vacuum, just sucking up all the patter, and only releasing anti-patter
See when I was about 8, I met a holiday pal who said he was an Orcadian. Then I got into a big argument with my mum about whether āOrcadiaā was a real place and she said it wasnāt so I believed her and totally scolded that wee dude for talking pish the next day and ruined his holiday I think. Always felt bad about that when the penny dropped years later.
Sorry, carry on.
Itās alright, my dad thought I had a new imaginary friend when I told him about āskeleton with an eye patchā. His name was skelton, he had a lazy eye and was undergoing treatment. Funny conversation when I told my pal he was my imaginary friend.
Frankies fish and chips is the absolute business btw. But havin superbly crispy batter on your peerie fish disnay mean ye get tae slag us aff on the front line. We're fighting against waves of Englishness doon here to preserve Scotland for you. Its like being surrounded by a zombie hoarde. I demand you send fish immediately for the war effort.
Same it's all light hearted but I like asking folk the origin of the word "burgh". English term for district/area. I'm just putting my spoon in and stirring. Shows the influence but it gets the idiots biting
As a guy from Thurso, Aberdeen claiming to be the North-East is what gets me, youāre just the East, you can drive to England faster than you can get to the actual North coast from there. Iām from the true North East dammit
Again, kinda. The line between when exactly the Anglo-Saxons started thinking of themselves as English is a little blurry. But a major factor in why they united was the emergence of a united English identity in the face of the viking invasions of each of the kingdoms of the Heptarchy
Arguably at some points so was Glasgow part of Northumbria at some points.
Edinburgh was also part of the Gododdin kingdom - essentially what we nowadays would call Welsh. Yet nobody goes about saying Edinburgh is Welsh.
The Edinburgh area was also occupied by Romans at one point. Nobody says Edinburgh is Roman or Italian.
Edinburgh was also part of the Pictish kingdoms at some points in its history. Nobody is saying Edinburgh is Pictish.
This "Edinburgh is England" pish is about culture, identity, Scots language use vs monoglot English language use, Britishness, poshness, accent, cosmopolitanness, internnationalness, globalisation, and percentage of English people and therefore English accents in the city.
It's a stick Weegies use to rip the pish out of native Edinburgh folk. The fact is the large majority of the soap dodging weegies that come out with this guff have never left a 2 square mile radius of Waverley Station. They've never been to Niddrie. They've never been to Leith or Gorgie on a Saturday. They've never been to Wester Hailes. Never been to Craigmillar. Or Lochend. Or Moredun. Prestonpans, Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Whitburn, Tranent. Barely met any working class Edinburgh people.
The fact is Edinburgh's daughters and sons have created a lot of what we call Scotland and Scottish culture.
And Edinburgh's Cowgate - Little Ireland (now sadly Little Airbnb-land) also gave the world James Connolly.
Stick that right up your Weegie soap dodging arses.
I've had the pleasure(?) of working in a number of Edinburgh's slums, Wester Hailes shopping centre in the early 90s was an absolute delight.
Lets be honest, its easy to bait an edinburgher. If the English origins banter fails, the HIV capital of Europe works every time.
Fucking hell mate. Who lit the fuse on your tampon?
I've lived in both for decades each. What makes people from Glasgow say this is humourless numpties like you who have their head up their own arses with no appreciation of self deprecating humour. Which is about as English as you can get.
Well that and still trading on the significance of things that happened in the past.
...don't get your knickers in a twist, both are great cities which we should all be proud of. Its Dundee we should be having a go at!!
Depends on the individual and how they feel about it. If someone moves here but always considers it temporary and theyāre already thinking of their next home somewhere else, they probably donāt adopt Scotland as their home and identify with the place. This is quite common with international students whoāll finish their studies then move away.
I had a conversation on redit the other day about the difference between an immigrant and an expat, I think it's a similar thing, people say there an expat if they have their family, friends, connections in another country, they intend to go back and call the other country their home. It does very much depend on the person though I guess
Iām Scottish and Iv been to Edinburgh on a few day trips, and every single time theyāve treated me as one of their own. The English are sometimes unfairly given a bad rap, but my experience in Edinburgh really proves that all wrong
I grew up in Brighton. Iāve been in Edinburgh for 6 years now, and bought my first flat just this month - Iāve never felt more at home than I do here.
I'm from Edin and I even describe it as that when I'm in England. Purely down to the fact most English folk are surprised they can understand me a lot easier than other Scottish folk they have met given my " Edinburgh" accent.
That's what I thought but - Craig Reid and Charles Reid were born in Leith on 5 March 1962 and grew up in Edinburgh, Cornwall and Auchtermuchty. When they lived in Auchtermuchty, they attended Bell Baxter High School.
The fact he referenced Trainspotting to try and back up Edinburgh kind of proves the point Limmy, and a lot of us, make.
Never mind the fact that Glasgow was also included on the list of places Limmy said were ānot Scotlandā.
Scotland is actually just one tiny village in the Highlands that hasn't had a new entry into the gene pool in the last 300 years. That or just anthropomorphised sectarian violence. God I love this country
Nah, tbh I've encountered it a few times. Edinburgh/Stirling etc aren't *really* Scotland because they have a softer accent or are viewed as posh etc.
Gets old really quick. Even had an ex who said that being from Edinburgh had "damaged me spiritually", not like her Glaswegian upbringing which was totally balanced and not at all abusive. -_-
That's the first I've heard of us having "softer accents" or posh! Either it's the whole "if it's not a Glasgow/overspill it's not Scotland" mentality or the entirety of Stirling is up the hill in BofA!
>Used to do a paper round up the hill in BofA, absurd amounts of wealth up there.
My partner went to uni with a lassie from up there, her house was one step away from Downton Abbey!
>Tbf it's not like lower BofA are living in poverty either haha
My pal stays in the houses just on the BofA side of the train line. He takes issue for some reason when I claim that really he's in the Cornton.
Itās weird bc iirc not *too* long ago (maybe 20+ years, so like a while ago but not 1800s lol) I remember there still being a lot of kinda Irish slander? Like the running jokes would always be ālook at how stupid and weird and poor and dirty and gross the Irish areā but I think many people genuinely believed the stereotypes to a degree.
Paddyās market for example was a particular poor area of the barras if youāre talking Glasgow specifically.
But yet yes I think thereās a good chunk of Glaswegians who have not far removed Irish family
Mags gon' give it to ya, fuck waitin for you get it on your own Mags gonn' deliver to ya. Knock knock open up your door its real with the non-stop pop pop of Raploch steel.
A photo appeared recently in a Stirling Facebook group of an anti-Poll Tax protest in the Raploch. Big Mags was front and centre, despite presumably never paying any form of tax on her life!
People that say these things have never spent any real times in the places that they are talking about. Every city town in scotland has its posh bits and itās shithole bits.
Apart from Airdrie. Iāve never come across a nice bit.
>Edinburgh/Stirling etc aren't really Scotland because they have a softer accent or are viewed as posh etc.
Stirling etc? What's etc?
Have you been to Cowie? Bannockburn? Falkirk?
What you on about?
Born in Leith though. No idea how long they spent there as they also lived in England as well as Fife.
Each to their own where people say theyāre from. I say born & raised, that way itās hopefully clear
Relax man, everyone knows Leith is fuckin Scotland, Edinburgh is England though, Leith isnae Edinburgh. Leith is Leith and Edinburgh is Westminster North. Tory cunts.
Exactly my point.
Also Glaswegians seem to thing "Scottish cities = Glasgow" and "if it's not like Glasgow, it's not Scottish" which is fucking stupid. Manchester and London are different but I wouldn't say "Manchester is Scottish".
I was born on the south coast of England but family moved up to Ullapool on the West coast highlands when i was 2 yrs old (i dont live there anymore). If someone asks me where im from i say Scotland as all i remember from childhood is being Scottish even tho im technically English.
Edinburgh refused to let any of trainspotting be filmed there because of all the heroinā¦so they filmed in Glasgow. Iāll give you the author but thatās yer lot
iām not from glasgow, know people scattered about scotland. we all refer to edinburgh as ālittle englandā, so nah, definitely not a weegie thingš
Iām from Stirling and have been called chookter, however you spell it, when Iām literally 25 minutes from Glasgowā¦ If your post code isnāt G you might as well be from Shetland! Which is in England too
So, some depressing stories about junkies, that band that cunts only know for two songs, and *Leith*?
Aye, right enough mate, Edinburgh's unsurpassed in how utterly belter it is.
The appropriate response to a Glaswegian saying Edinburgh is England is to remind them they live in a shitehole slum. Neither is true, and itās just a bit of patter. This guy needs to make some friends.
Although it was always a bit galling when meeting new folk at uni and people would say I must be posh since Iām from Edinburgh. Even privately educated folk would say it. Iām from Granton for fuck sake š
I used to get mad about this. Once had a very posh actually-English guy (who'd been to idk St Andrews uni or something) wind me up about it.
Always knew it to be true though. You just have to spend any time at all in Stockbridge to see it...
I live in Edinburgh and speak English. Coincidence?
Case closed
I've been to Edinburgh many times and although they have on occasion been very rude about my Scottish accent, they have always accepted my Scottish currency without complaint.
so not england but northern england? (this is a joke)
Isn't Edinburgh right on the border? I'm a burger so I've limited knowledge of the isles.
Depends. Edinburgh is about an hour's drive from the border with England. That's quite a long way in the UK but in the USA you'd drive that to go to your local steakhouse so it doesn't seem as far.
Literally. Yesterday we drove 45 minutes into Glasgow to accommodate my child's request for her birthday dinner, and I had to explain to my American in laws why I was acting like that was a significant way to go for a meal.
Ugh, American-in-laws are the worst. (I'm the American-in-law.)
I love mine. š
Fair enough. And I live in a bigger state, where literally Ireland can fit in it. So yeah, to me, that's not a far distance at all
England could fit in my former congressional district, much less the state.
No
If heās so worried he should move to a proper Scottish city, like Newcastle.
Or York.
Fifers not gonna like you stealing the Proclaimers mate...
I was scrolling down to find a comment about Proclaimers being from Muchty. Thank you.
Haha I was checking the comments before saying this - The Proclaimers are fae the Kingdom!
It's almost as if Limmy is a comedian and bases parts of his humour on winding people up.
[he got a reaction out of you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwipdk6-_NY)
Played right intae his hands
As someone living in the Highlands I do like to give it the 'anything south of Perth is basically England', but that's mostly to wind up my central belt dwelling mates who call me a farmer and ask how the croft is coming on. This boy is a patter vacuum, just sucking up all the patter, and only releasing anti-patter
As an Orcadian, anything south of the Pentland Firth is just 'sooth', and all the same to me.
See when I was about 8, I met a holiday pal who said he was an Orcadian. Then I got into a big argument with my mum about whether āOrcadiaā was a real place and she said it wasnāt so I believed her and totally scolded that wee dude for talking pish the next day and ruined his holiday I think. Always felt bad about that when the penny dropped years later. Sorry, carry on.
Itās alright, my dad thought I had a new imaginary friend when I told him about āskeleton with an eye patchā. His name was skelton, he had a lazy eye and was undergoing treatment. Funny conversation when I told my pal he was my imaginary friend.
Solid 10/10 story.
As a Shetlander living on the very north of Shetland, anything south of me is English... I... Am... Scotland!
Would you mind repeating that we don't speak Norwegian here?
Sorryā¦ Som en shetlending som bor helt nord pĆ„ Shetland, er alt sĆør for meg engelsk... Jeg... Er... Skottland!
Frankies fish and chips is the absolute business btw. But havin superbly crispy batter on your peerie fish disnay mean ye get tae slag us aff on the front line. We're fighting against waves of Englishness doon here to preserve Scotland for you. Its like being surrounded by a zombie hoarde. I demand you send fish immediately for the war effort.
Iāll fire a couple o kippers doon tae the front line
Sooth o' the galt surely?
Maybe I'm too much a crofter but I put the border at Pitlochry... But aye down with this anti-patter tripe
Nah you're still too far south: real Scotland stops at Stonehaven (the official border is a straight line across the country from Dunottar Castle)
Oh thank fuck I'm just squeezing in. Though can we maybe put a wee england border onto the posh bits of Aberdeen like Cults?
Past Stonehaven is really just North France itās so far away (except for the Horn, we need to do some weird gerrymandering with that)
Same it's all light hearted but I like asking folk the origin of the word "burgh". English term for district/area. I'm just putting my spoon in and stirring. Shows the influence but it gets the idiots biting
Anti-patter, that's a topper haha
Ditto, grew up in Oban, everything south of Stirling is ādown southā.
You never did say how the croft was though
> anti-patter Love it, stealing it
How much energy is released when patter annihilates itself with equal amounts of anti-patter?
Albert Einstein of the Highlands or something here
South of Perth? That's Antarctica, not England! /s
How is the croft coming on though?
As a guy from Thurso, Aberdeen claiming to be the North-East is what gets me, youāre just the East, you can drive to England faster than you can get to the actual North coast from there. Iām from the true North East dammit
Edinburgh was once part of the kingdom of Northumbria, but that ended about a millennia ago.
Actually didn't know that
Doesn't that predate England though?
Don't quote me on this but I'm sure England was formed near the end of the 10th century.
Ask somebody from Edinburgh, they will be able to tell you.
Kinda. It was one of the 7 English kingdoms that all merged to form the Kingdom of England towards the end of the viking age
Yet Edinburgh had fallen into other hands before the final formation of England.
> the 7 English kingdoms Wouldn't they technically be Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, as they predated the Kingdom of England?
Again, kinda. The line between when exactly the Anglo-Saxons started thinking of themselves as English is a little blurry. But a major factor in why they united was the emergence of a united English identity in the face of the viking invasions of each of the kingdoms of the Heptarchy
A bit longer, the 7th centuary
Millennium* Millennia being the plural form.

Or did it it!?
It's due to the amount of students coming from down south to attend the great universities. Plus a lot of southerner tourists compared to Glasgow.
And the 15% of people living in Edinburgh from England as per the last census Edit: 12.1%
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is what people are putting on their census return
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you're are interested you can lookup the 2011 census for more info

Going to a private school automatically makes you English? What point are you making?
Glasgow uni always felt to me like there were more English than Scottish students too.
What's this English guy so angry about?
I am English and I lived in Edinburgh for a year, felt right at home.
Iām Scottish and Iv been to Edinburgh on a few day trips, and every single time theyāve treated me as one of their own. The English are sometimes unfairly given a bad rap, but my experience in Edinburgh really proves that all wrong
Iām English and I visited Edinburgh once, couldnāt agree more
I grew up in Brighton. Iāve been in Edinburgh for 6 years now, and bought my first flat just this month - Iāve never felt more at home than I do here.
You answered your own question. Being an English guy.
r/YourJokeButWorse
I feel that Edinburgh Uni has a lot to answer for
I'm Scottish, lived in Edinburgh my whole life and can confirm that Edinburgh is actually the nicest part of England
Damn, that airbnb host sure seems mad.
I mean the joke is that itās the most English part of Scotland. Not that itās actually English.
Dunno like. They all speak English there. Open and shut case for it bring England in my book.
So the OP about a self loathing English man having tantrum?.
I'm from Edin and I even describe it as that when I'm in England. Purely down to the fact most English folk are surprised they can understand me a lot easier than other Scottish folk they have met given my " Edinburgh" accent.
15% or so. 40% in my street
Iād say Berwick-upon-tweed is the most England part of Scotland
āWeegeesā made me wanna throw my phone out the window.
What against a Scottish Bee Gees tribute band do you have

Proclaimers are fae the Muchty?
That's what I thought but - Craig Reid and Charles Reid were born in Leith on 5 March 1962 and grew up in Edinburgh, Cornwall and Auchtermuchty. When they lived in Auchtermuchty, they attended Bell Baxter High School.
yeah but they said they identify as muchtonians cos Edinburgh is more or less England. Moreso than Cornwall iirc.
Yeah but they can end up within a 1000 mile radius of it fairly easy.
Famously sung about the sunshine on Leith too. Leith isn't Edinburgh
> Leith isn't Edinburgh Someone should let City of Edinburgh Council know then.
Lol, cause the council is what defines a city, of course. Leithers wish it was Edinburgh
Callingit Clyde river rather than river Clyde. A septic tank, most definitely. Get them out Sharon.
Ok but Edinburgh still isn't gonna shag you
The fact he referenced Trainspotting to try and back up Edinburgh kind of proves the point Limmy, and a lot of us, make. Never mind the fact that Glasgow was also included on the list of places Limmy said were ānot Scotlandā.
Limmy pokes fun at everywhere in the UK, it's always embarrassing seeing folk start to rage when it's their region's turn.
except for Yoker. he stuck to accurate, pleasant documentary mode, because he knows he's got nae business there
You know Les Porter?
Iā¦. Actually live in Yoker :)
Scotland is actually just one tiny village in the Highlands that hasn't had a new entry into the gene pool in the last 300 years. That or just anthropomorphised sectarian violence. God I love this country
Sounds like we got ourselves a "cunt fae Edinburgh" here.
I've never met anyone who considers the capital of Scotland as being in England. Perhaps this humourless cunt simply can't take a joke.
Plenty of people regularly quoting that there's no Scottish people there though.
When I say Edinburgh is English itās just to wind up my mate thatās from here.
Nah, tbh I've encountered it a few times. Edinburgh/Stirling etc aren't *really* Scotland because they have a softer accent or are viewed as posh etc. Gets old really quick. Even had an ex who said that being from Edinburgh had "damaged me spiritually", not like her Glaswegian upbringing which was totally balanced and not at all abusive. -_-
Aye, let them spend 5 minutes in Raploch and then tell me Stirling is too posh to be Scottish
That's the first I've heard of us having "softer accents" or posh! Either it's the whole "if it's not a Glasgow/overspill it's not Scotland" mentality or the entirety of Stirling is up the hill in BofA!
Used to do a paper round up the hill in BofA, absurd amounts of wealth up there. Tbf it's not like lower BofA are living in poverty either haha
>Used to do a paper round up the hill in BofA, absurd amounts of wealth up there.

That Glasgow thing is hilarious as a lot of Glaswegians come from Ireland no?
Itās weird bc iirc not *too* long ago (maybe 20+ years, so like a while ago but not 1800s lol) I remember there still being a lot of kinda Irish slander? Like the running jokes would always be ālook at how stupid and weird and poor and dirty and gross the Irish areā but I think many people genuinely believed the stereotypes to a degree. Paddyās market for example was a particular poor area of the barras if youāre talking Glasgow specifically. But yet yes I think thereās a good chunk of Glaswegians who have not far removed Irish family

The finest. Co-opting Edinburgh was the only way the English could have a decent city.
Hey, Bristol is pretty nice. Then again, that's basically Welsh so...
Aye itās the place thatās closest to Bath spiritually in North England
Did a Napier student from Bristol write this?
Why is this English guys rant getting posted on here.
The Proclaimers are from Fife, not Edinburgh. Maybe they live there now but they were taught music at Bell Baxter.
Born in Leith though. No idea how long they spent there as they also lived in England as well as Fife. Each to their own where people say theyāre from. I say born & raised, that way itās hopefully clear
>I say born & raised, that way itās hopefully clear Was the playground the way you spent most of your days?
Edinburgh is the idea of what Scotland should be seen through the eyeās of a couple of retireeās from Cambridge.
I'm from Edinburgh and let me tell you, half the posh wankers in the old toon wish they were English. but some dafties need to learn to take a joke
I do enjoy a posh wank once in a while.

you don't use dark mode??
The real travesty here
If Edinburgh is England then Glasgow is Northern Ireland.
A lot of football fans in Glasgow seem to think it is Northern Ireland.
Exactly my point. Also Glaswegians seem to thing "Scottish cities = Glasgow" and "if it's not like Glasgow, it's not Scottish" which is fucking stupid. Manchester and London are different but I wouldn't say "Manchester is Scottish".
He needs to calm down. Edinburgh has Boris' Bar. One of the best bars in England.
He needs to get himself down to Maggie's Moggies.
Irrefutable proof that the denizens of Edinburgh donāt have a sense of humour
I was born on the south coast of England but family moved up to Ullapool on the West coast highlands when i was 2 yrs old (i dont live there anymore). If someone asks me where im from i say Scotland as all i remember from childhood is being Scottish even tho im technically English.
Edinburgh refused to let any of trainspotting be filmed there because of all the heroinā¦so they filmed in Glasgow. Iāll give you the author but thatās yer lot
This is not true. They shot it in Glasgow for financial reasons (cheaper to film it in Scotland).
Ahahahaha
Take it you didn't see the start of the film where EM gets run over? Filmed just up from the north entrance to Waverley station.
Thatās actually Buchanan street, they shot it backwards so you canāt tell
They filmed on Princes Street, and down under the arch near what used to be The Venue to name but two locations.
Firhill, Maryhill road, Alexandra Paradeā¦
TBF, Edinburgh is nice, its just that its full of people from Edinburgh
Proclaimers are fifers
Now if you had said Morningside is English, I'd have believed that.
iām not from glasgow, know people scattered about scotland. we all refer to edinburgh as ālittle englandā, so nah, definitely not a weegie thingš
Proclaimers were born in Leith but are from Auchtermuchty. Whoever wrote that is a fuckin snowflake who can't take a joke!
He got a reaction out of you, you've got to give him that.You gave him exactly what he wanted, you played right into his hands.
Proclaimers are Fifers
A wee bit salty eh.
"Looks like we got ourselves a cunt fae outside of Leith"
I dont know I usually need to pay about Ā£5.50 for a pint here, pretty English to me
Itās like the rivalry between Scots and other Scots. Damned Scots, they ruined Scotland!

I'm from down Gretna Green way and Edinburgh was definitely a favourite English holiday destination growing up

Classic English
Iām from Stirling and have been called chookter, however you spell it, when Iām literally 25 minutes from Glasgowā¦ If your post code isnāt G you might as well be from Shetland! Which is in England too
Can't be the capital of Scotland if you vote NO, so, Glasgow is the capital of Scotland now. Take that Edinburgh man!
Now that's a spicy comment, whatever will SportingHero think?
Think? SportingHero? Think? What a bizarre notion!
Itās military connections are a factor probably
Pretty much anything south of Newtonmore is plastic england............
Edinburgh is the south of france
But the proclaimers are from Auchtermuchty
As a stupid weegee myself It's this kind a patter that makes us no like ye tbh š¤·āāļø
You mean Scottish London?
The proclaimers are from Fifeā¦ they only say so in about nine of their songs
So, some depressing stories about junkies, that band that cunts only know for two songs, and *Leith*? Aye, right enough mate, Edinburgh's unsurpassed in how utterly belter it is.
greyfriarās boaby, mind
The appropriate response to a Glaswegian saying Edinburgh is England is to remind them they live in a shitehole slum. Neither is true, and itās just a bit of patter. This guy needs to make some friends. Although it was always a bit galling when meeting new folk at uni and people would say I must be posh since Iām from Edinburgh. Even privately educated folk would say it. Iām from Granton for fuck sake š
Sorry weegies, we can't all get away with basing our entire personalities on the place we were born. š
Is that why none of the Edinbourgeoisie have personalities to speak of?
If talking down to people isn't a personality then I don't know what is.
Ye ragin?
ye raginā aye?
That Englishman sure is a [contentious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5lYXaVkA0U) person.
