Edinburgh (pronounced {{IPA|/??d?n?br?/}}), Dùn Èideann ({{IPA|/tu?n ?e?t??n/}}) in Scottish Gaelic, is the second-largest city in Scotland and is the country's capital city.

Demographics

As of 2004 the General Register Office of Scotland estimated that the City of Edinburgh had a resident population of 453,670, an increase from 448,624 as reported by the 2001 UK census. The General Register Office also reported that this resident population was split between 218,008 males and 235,662 females. Whilst Edinburgh's population is ageing a very large and transient population of young students studying at the universities in the city offset this demographic problem somewhat. The population of Edinburgh is expected to grow significantly over the next 10 to 14 years.
