Conservative city centre councillor Joanna Mowat said, "Edinburgh is a city full of literate people so they always spot embarrassing mistakes".
Yeah, thanks for that Joanna.

Princess Street is at least as popular a mistake as Carlton Hill or Crammond, even amongst people who live in the city and display indications of being able to read.
