Edinburgh (Scottish Gaelic: Dun Èideann) is the capital city of Scotland.
History[]
In Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers", Groundskeeper Willie tried to tell a joke about golfers from North and South Edinburgh, in the Springfield Elementary talent show.
Willie told Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers a story about a miners strike back in Edinburgh. According to Willie, nobody made it out alive, 'Not even Willie'.
Edinburgh was long believed to be the birthplace of Willie, until The Daughter Also Rises, where Willie states that he's from neither there nor Glasgow but from Kirkwall in the Orkney Isles.
In The Regina Monologues greeting the Simpsons at Heathrow, Tony Blairr recommends the Simpsons visit Edinburgh Castle, in the city of his birth.
Trivia[]
- Bart and Lisa run down The Stairs while on a sugar high (however they are in London at the time, not Edinburgh). This is a reference to a scene in the film Trainspotting; which was set in both Edinburgh and in London.
