I did the quiz the other day, but forgot my score. I wasn't bad but not great. It didn't help that the first few questions happened to have the positions of Edinburgh and Glasgow the same so I had assumed that they were fixed, costing me a point the firs time they switched. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241137 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 12:00:55 +0000 neddie 241137@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>one side of Montpelier Park</em> [is red]</p> <p>LOL - I went to look at a flat there once, and the fact it was red put me off! #firstworldproblems</p> <p>The rear of the tenements on Spottiswoode St are in red, which I always thought odd, since their fronts are yellow (as is the rest of Marchmont): <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/oGmN6VBhbDr" rel="nofollow">https://goo.gl/maps/oGmN6VBhbDr</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241132 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 11:11:57 +0000 LaidBack 241132@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>From memory.</p> <p>Edinburgh is mainly Craigleith yellow sandstone.</p> <p>Caley Hotel and Kings are red Locharbriggs sandstone. Glasgow has more of this. Kelvin Hall is Locharbriggs I think. People can now Google and tell me I'm wrong! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241128 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 09:25:58 +0000 Klaxon 241128@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Edinburgh has far more yellow than red. I'm struggling to think of more than King's, Lauriston fire station and one side of Montpelier Park. Glasgow has always felt very red to me. Is that not the case? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241127 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 09:08:35 +0000 acsimpson 241127@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Red sandstone is very Edinburgh though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241126 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 08:47:34 +0000 Klaxon 241126@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd normally regard myself as quite good at these things but they've gone out of their way to take opposite cities archetypes as much as possible</p> <p>High rise flats, statue cone and red sandstone are 'Glasgow' things while roman pillars crop up a lot more in Edinburgh.</p> <p>If it were a pub quiz I'd be accusing the quizmaster of being anti fun! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241125 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:11:25 +0000 dessert rat 241125@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>7, but I have an excuse. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241124 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:05:15 +0000 rbrtwtmn 241124@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>10<br /> :-( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17341#post-241123 Tue, 17 Jan 2017 23:31:43 +0000 acsimpson 241123@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>12/20 I based it on guessing Glasgow if I didn't think I knew where it is.
