17/20 Triple bluffed myself on one of them.
From the comments;
Pointless article. Why no articles about all the murders committed by cyclists? Can't publish that, it's 'politically incorrect' to point out what the 2-wheeled criminal thug brigade are up to.
Funny how there's still no mention of what they were celebrating on 9/11.

There are many that have been mad to look like the other place but not all.
Kept crashing for some reason when I was doing it so will give it another go and report back on score
17/20 too, also triple bluffed myself on several of them

12/20 I based it on guessing Glasgow if I didn't think I knew where it is. It turns out I either don't know Edinburgh (Leith) as well as I thought or I know Glasgow better than I thought.

7, but I have an excuse.

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
High rise flats, statue cone and red sandstone are 'Glasgow' things while roman pillars crop up a lot more in Edinburgh.
If it were a pub quiz I'd be accusing the quizmaster of being anti fun!

Red sandstone is very Edinburgh though.

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?

From memory.
Edinburgh is mainly Craigleith yellow sandstone.
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!

one side of Montpelier Park [is red]
LOL - I went to look at a flat there once, and the fact it was red put me off! #firstworldproblems
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): https://goo.gl/maps/oGmN6VBhbDr

I used to live in the big red block on Mayfield Road/West Savile Terrace. 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.
