Cabbie754 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 There are Glaswegians, Dundonians, Mancunians, Geordies, Brummies, Londoners etc, why nothing for Edinburgh? Any suggestions? That's because no one seems to agree. I've heard Edinburgers even Dunediners but some just say they are from Edinburgh rather than use any of the above.
