Scottish Cities
To all friends North of the border!
Quiz on over here in the UK the question was 'How many cities are there in Scotland?'
Options 2,4 or 6
I think there is seven, can anyone confirm this?

Re: Scottish Cities
Paisley is a town ith a bigger population than Inverness and Stirling Cities,
The Fair City of Perth hasn't been recognised as a city since 1972
Stirling is the youngest city having been awarded that status in 2002 -Queens Jubilee
So Aberdeen,Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow,Inverness and Stirling are the current six official cities.
Elgin was but is no longer

Re: Scottish Cities
Its 6! Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling. Perth was but not any longer
BUT! Read this
Since the 1996 reorganisation, two more Scottish cities have been designated: Inverness as part of the millennium celebrations, and Stirling in 2002, to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. In the case of both these cities, there are no city councils and no formal boundaries, and the letters patent simply state that the "town" has the status. In January 2008, a petition to matriculate armorial bearings for the City of Inverness was refused by Lord Lyon King of Arms on the grounds that there is no corporate body or legal persona to whom arms can be granted.

Re: Scottish Cities
Hahahaha,that's exactly what my niece was on about,there's a cityof Paisley in America somewhere and she was doing a comparison but couldn't find evidence stating Paisley was.Should be by traditional definition i.e University and Cathedral but I think it's got to do with the Royal Charter crapola .
