As the Scottish Sun reports, the air hostess spent ages brushing up on the correct pronunciation of Edinburgh before uploading the video, just to ensure locals who were watching did not come for her in the comment section.

Starting off the video, which has gained nearly 40,000 likes, Stephanie said: "Don’t come for me because I know you all like to tussle. But I looked up on Google how to pronounce it.

"You have to pronounce bruh. Someone correct me if I’m wrong."

Her research paid off, as some locals said that she pronounced it perfectly. Stephanie also recorded various stages of her visit to the capital and shared some clues as to what working as a flight attendant entails.

As an avid Harry Potter fan, she was also delighted to learn of the inspiration JK Rowling allegedly took from various landmarks within the city while writing the world-famous novels.

Fellow TikTokers also informed Stephanie that next time she visits, there are numerous Harry Potter themed stores in the city centre that are worth a trip.

Stephanie also recorded footage of the sun setting over Princes Street, describing it as "beautiful." She added: "I saw a couple things and as you all know, I can't stop at a layover without going shopping so I decided to visit Primark.

"I wouldn’t normally pick up the trip because it was on the 757. I’m so glad I finally did because I fell in love with Edinburgh."
