What do you call someone from Edinburgh?

[The Dogfather]

Liverpool - Liverpudlians or Scousers
Glasgow - Weggies
Aberdeen - Aberdonnians
Manchester - Mancs, Mancunians or Scallys

But what do you call people from Auld Reckie?

I hate to be pedantic (actually, I don't;)) but surely the term is weegie! Don't you have schools past Harthill!;):)

Plus, I always call folks from Aberdeen 'Furry Boots', cause they always ask you 'furry boots ya fae?';):D

[The Dogfather]

GAJ - Apologies, I'm from Blackpool so I'm still learning the 'foreign' language.

Julz - I agree can't understand a word these locals say, especially the ones from rural towns like Turriff.

I thought they were "fit likes"

Imagine this scenario :-

Aberdonian in a shoe shop, looking at a pair of wellies.
Unsure of which is left or right he asks the assistant
"Fit fit, fits fit fit!"

My biggest mistake was referring to the hill Ben-Na-Hee (spelt Bennachie) as Ben-Nach-Hie. I don't mind being corrected but the way people reacted it was like I'd just slaughtered the first born child in every house in Aberdeen!
