We asked readers of the Edinburgh Evening News to name ‘things you would only know if you’re from Edinburgh’ on Facebook recently and you sent in some brilliant memories, with many of them raising a chuckle here in the virtual office.
From chumming your mates, where to meet your dates and what you most definitely shouldn’t do to Bobby, these are 12 things you'll only understand if you come from Edinburgh.

10. Robert Louis Stevenson
Ronnie Wood wrote: 'There’s a stain glass portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson at St Giles cathedral where he’s holding a quill. However the portrait is taken from a sketch which was done whilst he was in New York, the original has him holding a cigarette, obviously this was deemed inappropriate for St Giles so the cigarette was replaced with a quill. The original is displayed in the writer’s museum on the Lawnmarket" - cracking fact this one Ronnie. Photo: JPI Media
