Seriously, I don’t know.
My friend from Glasgow swears she’s Glaswegian, which I can buy, but Edinburgh?
Note, I’m not asking what someone fron Edinburgh calls someone from Glasgow 
I think they would be a Edinburgher… don’t really know tho.
Yup, agree with Izzardesque.
I’ve always heard Edinburgher, FWIW.
I lived there for four years and I honestly cannot remember. Edinburgher sounds about right, though.
not in Dictionary.com, but Glaswegian is…
Glas·we·gian (gls-wjn, glz-)
adj.
Of or relating to Glasgow, Scotland.
n.
A native or resident of Glasgow, Scotland.
i’m from Edinburgh and nobody says Edinburgher. trust me. there isnt a word for us.
I find it quite funny that someone from Hamburg IS called a Hamburger
The reason I said it would be Edinburgher is because a burgher is a resident of a burgh or borough. So technically, I think I am correct but no-one to my knowledge uses it
Like Crusoe, I spent four years in Edinburgh, and don’t have a clue what the answer is.
Hmmm. Is there some Latinate term which exists, but is never used? You know, like Geordies are technically “Novocastrians”?
I tend to agree with Niobium Knight. Given the soft Scottish pronunciation of the ‘burgh’ bit in ‘Edinburgh’, ‘Edinburgher’ would be particularly awkward to say - it would almost have to be pronounced as Edinbur-er-er. None of the options seem as easy or as obvious as ‘someone from Edinburgh’.
know people from Edenburgh, they call themselves Edenburgers. Maybe they’re just pulling my leg.
If, by some miracle, that is wronf, and there is no real name for people from Edenburgh( doubtfull) i say you adopt Edenburgher.

Edinburgher, pronounced Edinbruh-her.
It doesn’t get used much, because it’s such an ugly word. Which is ok, as no-one has much worth saying about people from Edinburgh.
When I worked in Port Appin, Scotland, (west coast, between Oban and Ft. William), I asked the question to some of the Scottish employees, and they did tell me “Edinburgher.” I had not thought of asking that question during my stay in Edinburgh, however, so I don’t know what they call themselves there.
I once had the occasion to call a friend of mine originally from Belfast “a wanker” (he had said something stupid). A Glaswegian sitting nearby then asked me: “Why do you call him a wanker? He’s not from the East coast of Scotland” :rolleyes:
A “Pan-Loafer?”
An “Auld Reekian?”
LOL. A “you’ll-have-had-your-tea-er”.
Things I (a Glaswegian) have been called by one particularly obnoxious Edinburgher: soap-dodger; work-shy; scrounger.
Sigh…when there are only two humans left in the universe, they’ll no doubt think up nasty and pointless names for each other.
I ran into my Glaswegian friend, mentioned above, yesterday and asked him (my question might have been slighly leading) what he would call someone from Edinburgh and he promptly answered eedjit.
us in Edinburgh call Glaswegians “weegie cunts”
my dad tells me it is Edinburger but it gets used so little it’s not worth bothering about.
It would seem to me that Rodd Hill would be the one with an accurate answer… ‘An “Auld Reekian?”’…coming from Edinburgh myself and being a partial football (soccer) fan…the term “Auld Reekian” is one that can be found in the song of one of the local football teams, Hearts. Ummm, thats about all I Know :)…
“and Auld Reekie supports them with pride”
sorry but Auld Reekie is Edinburgh, not the people in Edinburgh and i have NEVER heard anyone called an Auld Reekien.
it’s Edinburger, trust me.
