Snobby and full of it are just some of the stereotypes associated with people from Edinburgh - so why would anyone want to be mates with us?
These stereotypes are definitely not true but we can't deny that we are immensely proud of our city, it's not our fault that our Glaswegians get jealous.
It must be really terrible for our friends who aren't from here but have made the brave decision to become our pals and have to visit one of the best cities in the world.

In fact, here's 16 reasons why you definitely don't want to be mates with someone from Edinburgh...
1. First off, you might have to visit the UK's 'best city' to live in...jeez.

2. You might find everything you see here nauseatingly pretty.

3. We will physically force you along to all the hidden gems...like this secret garden on the Royal Mile.

4. And drag you up Arthur's Seat because we know you'll thank us later.

5. Only then will it be time for a literary tour of Trainspotting around Edinburgh...sorry not sorry.
6. We will also share our insider knowledge on where to get a cheap pint in the capital (a rare find).

7. And you will constantly have to listen to why Edinburgh is better than Glasgow (you'll agree by the time you leave).
8. As well as being lectured on the cultural importance of maroon and green in this city.

9. But you'll get lured back with a free place to stay during the Fringe (when accommodation costs a fortune).

10. If you come in summer you'll end up spending all your time day drinking in The Meadows, which is not super relaxing at all.

11. Admittedly, Edinburgh locals love a laugh so you will have to finish your night in Hive nightclub.

14. You will later see what we mean by "scran" when you try THE BEST EVER chippy food.

15. And don't think you're leaving here without trying a deep fried pizza supper with salt and our very own brown sauce.

16. And after all this, you will go home wishing you could stay...yeah, sorry about that.
