Edinburgh is the capital of which country?

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom. Knowing this helps you place not just cities, but where the main government of that country sits. Scotland has its own parliament and government based in Edinburgh, while the UK Parliament sits in London for matters affecting the whole UK. The other options are the capitals of the other parts of the UK: London for England, Cardiff for Wales, and Belfast for Northern Ireland.
