Revealed: Edinburgh's top searches of 2016

And now, as we approach the end of 2016, internet search giant Google has compiled a list of the questions keeping Edinburgh awake at night.

We had sport, technology and politics on our minds – while celebrity deaths also had us swotting up.

But it was the Pokemon Go craze that kept us most occupied, as we took to Google in great numbers to figure out how to take part in the craze which at one point attracted hundreds of gamers to Princes Street Gardens.

Matt Cooke, head of Google’s news bab in London, said: “As ever, our annual Year In Search survey has shown a snapshot of what Britain cared about in 2016 and the results are fascinating.

“The diversity in the top 10 most trending topics of the year show how which political events have dominated the zeitgeist, how celebrities have touched our hearts and how sport continues to unite us.”
