H Dorothy et al, Yes Glaswegian is the usual term for someone from Glasgow, some people, particularly from the East may call them "Weegies". As far as Edinburgh is concerned, there isn't really a term in common use. I certainly wouldn't refer to myself as an "Edinburgher" for example. I know that in the 19th century there were a lot of "native names" usually based on the Latin form for the town name - which is where Glaswegian comes from, so there may have been something at some time, but I don't think it is used much these days. regards Caroline Stavert Edinburgh. -----Original Message----- From: Dorothy Blunden <blunden@rockies.net> To: BORDER-L@rootsweb.com <BORDER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 20 April 2000 04:55 Subject: Native Name >Hello All >A question has arisen which I hope someone will be able to answer for me..... >I know a person from Glasgow is called a Glasswegian..
