Hedgecutter Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 There is not even a slight chance nearly 90,000 people live in the city of Stirling. You're looking at 40,000, tops. Can only assume that's going by council area, which will include Bridge of Allan, Fallin, Cowie, even Dunblane which is six or seven miles away. Just what I was saying about Edinburgh. You come off the Forth Bridge to see a sign saying 'welcome to the City of EdinbVrgh' so they're probably including that area, probably all the way over to Musselburgh. I thought the council area was Midlothian though - am I wrong here? (You have welcome to 'City of Aberdeen' signs at Cove, Kingswells and Blackburn up this way but that's actually because they're in the council area of that name).

The city of Edinburgh extends to Portobello and Joppa, but not beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Musselburgh folk take great exception to being classed as part of Edinburgh. I take great pleasure in winding the wife up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'll be out having a few beers in Leith tonight, any recommendations? There's a cracking wee bar next to Easter Road Stadium called Scorpio Leisure. It's always lively, the locals will drink you under the table.

Fudge Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I've never lived in Edinburgh but am more than happy in Glasgow. I really like Edinburgh as a city but don't think it has anything to rival Glasgow's West End as a place for someone in their 20's to live.

Enigma Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Musselburgh's East Lothian. The city of Edinburgh extends to Portobello and Joppa, but not beyond. Not historically. Musselburgh should be in Midlothian or Edinburgh really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMikey Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Musselburgh was part of Edinburgh wasn't it? Sure Fisherrow was a separate village as well. The older generations in Musselburgh seem to make a distinction but its all the same to young people in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I spotted this monstrosity today. In fecking Glasgow.

I ended up doing a mini pub crawl along Easter Road, can't remember the name of the pubs, but it was enjoyable, good to try something different, ended the night going to Liquid Room rather pished. only downside to the trip was watching Celtic getting pumped in Robbie's on Leith Walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they have a castle and a big monument too, but you get those in Stirling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 What is the sauce btw? Is it just like ketchup or something? Never tried it so won't make any rash judgements but just can't see it beating the glory of having vinegar on a chippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
