Edinburgh has been named Time Out's second most beautiful city in the world for 2026, and a new quiz is putting locals and visitors to the test on their knowledge of Scotland's capital.
A City of Two Halves
Edinburgh is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, attracting millions of visitors and tourists every year. Like most Scots, Edinburgh locals are known to have a deep appreciation for their city's history and striking architecture.
The city is famed for being split into two, with the cobblestone alleys of the medieval Old Town and the elegant Georgian avenues of the New Town. As the second largest city in Scotland behind Glasgow, Edinburgh is home to over 530,000 people, and an estimated five million tourists visit every year.
Famous Landmarks and Cultural Impact
Edinburgh is home to some very famous landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyrood and the bustling Royal Mile. The city also hosts the world's largest arts festival, known as the Fringe, every summer.
Edinburgh has inspired countless books, films and TV shows, including David Nicholls' One Day, Frankenstein and J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. While often described as magical by visitors, the city is also widely considered one of the most haunted in the world.
How Well Do You Know Edinburgh?
A trivia quiz covering all things related to the famous Scottish city has been pulled together, with ten questions to test your knowledge. If you get less than four points, it may be time to get to know the city a bit better.
Those who want to test their general knowledge of Glasgow instead can take a separate 'How Glaswegian Are You' test.
