From moaning about the seemingly endless tram works to rocking up to the Meadows for a picnic on a sunny day, here are some of the things that have come to characterise Edinburgh life for many locals.
Just for fun, have a scroll through our picture gallery to see some things we reckon every true Edinburgher will have done at least once in their lives.
9. Go to see a panto at the King's Theatre
Over the years, the Kings Theatre panto has been as much a part of Edinburgh's Christmas as mince pies and turkey dinners - and most locals have been to see it at least once. Oh yes they have! Photo: Third Party
10. Tried a deep-fried Mars Bar
It is the curiosity of the world over – an Edinburgh delicacy every tourist seems desperate to try. And, in the interests of research, many locals have stuffed their faces with the deep-fried Mars Bar too, normally after one too many drinks in the pub. Photo: Third Party
11. Gone for a stroll along Portobello Beach
Much like the Meadows, Portobello Beach is a magnet for locals on those rare days when the Capital enjoys sunshine and hot temepratures. Some like to catch some rays on the sandy beach or go for a dip in the sea, while others enjoying a stroll on the two-mile-long promenade. Photo: Third Party
12. Gone to The Meadows on a hot day
When the sun is shining in Edinburgh, The Meadows fills up with locals who flock there to have picnics, play sports, or just enjoy a few tins of beer while catching some rays. Photo: Third Party
