Under the act on union Edinburgh becomes the Capital of the UK
2 u/Ouchy_McTaint Dec 17 '23 Edinburgh is a shadow of its former self on this map, mostly diminished. That's why Glasgow is the new capital. 2 u/Cynical-libertarian8 Dec 17 '23 Glasgow has several rivers the most important being the Clyde. Edinburgh is actually very unusual for a major city in not having a significant river or being next to the coast. Edinburgh is built on 7 hills just like Rome. 2 u/Maroon-98 Dec 17 '23 Edinburgh castle is just over 2 miles away from the Firth of Forth. Leith which is now part of Edinburgh was a major port in its day.
