There are several places in America with the same name: Edinburg, in Texas (‘h’ was dropped in 1911), also in New York, North Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, New Jersey, Virginia; Edinboro, Pennsylvania (‘burgh’ proved too difficult to pronounce); Edina in Minnesota and Missouri and there is a Dunedin (Gaelic name for Edinburgh, being Dun Eideann) in Florida. Edinburgh is also twinned with San Diego. There is a bronze sculpture in West Princes Street Gardens entitled “The Call” by Robert Tait MacKenzie, of Philadelphia. This is a memorial to the Scottish-American soldiers of World War I, erected by the Scottish American War Memorial Committee. for more click on the introduction
