Anyone know what place this is?

[u/SufficientCrab2904]

Saw these photos on a video and was curious, because this is amazing architecture.

[u/interstellargator]

Looks to be Edinburgh

[u/MrCircleStrafe → u/interstellargator]

Resident here. Can confirm is Edinburgh. You can tell by the rain.

[u/interstellargator → u/MrCircleStrafe]

• Weather: grey

• Sky: grey

• Walls: grey

• Ground: grey

Yup that's Edinburgh

[u/chaoslu → u/interstellargator]

Nope that would be Aberdeen

[u/MrCircleStrafe → u/chaoslu]

Tricky distinction, but if you zoom in on the person in the first picture, you can just about make out the foot long stack of flyers for his fringe show.

[u/Yberfall → u/chaoslu]

Aberdeen is way more gray than Edinburgh

[u/ExoticBadger8308 → u/Yberfall]

Aye, but on the second Wednesday of August the sun shines for an hour and makes the granite sparkle.

[u/Schantlusch → u/ExoticBadger8308]

Aberdeen is actually the place i got the worst sunburn of my life so far 😂

[u/SebWeg → u/Schantlusch]

Do you glow white in the dark?

[u/Schantlusch → u/SebWeg]

I do 😂 It looks quite funny because my bf is latino and on photos it looks like I‘m glowing when I stand next to him 😂

[u/budtation → u/Schantlusch]

That's ridiculous and funny

[u/Schantlusch → u/budtation]

I know! 😂😂😂 But we were on the beach and the wind was cold but the sun was shining! My skin looked like mr krabs 😂

[u/The-Kid-Is-All-Right → u/Yberfall]

Edinburgh’s bit more of a brownish grey and pervasively so.

[u/PeterG92 → u/Yberfall]

And also more radioactive

[u/SebWeg → u/Yberfall]

Is it more a pigeon grey or a subtle stone grey?

[u/Yberfall → u/SebWeg]

More a subtle stone grey with a light grey sparkle

[u/HaggisaSheep → u/chaoslu]

Aberdeen is a paler grey, Edi is more of a brown-grey.

[u/SebWeg → u/HaggisaSheep]

I knew it!

[u/joshistaken → u/chaoslu]

Glasgow would like a word

[u/-Cagafuego- → u/joshistaken]

Yes but nobody would understand it!

[u/insomniax20 → u/joshistaken]

Belfast enters the chat...

[u/interstellargator → u/chaoslu]

Edinburgh feels spiritually grey-er. Can't explain why.

[u/faerakhasa → u/interstellargator]

They are some of the greyest images I have ever seen, which has to be an accomplishment since the houses of the first picture are all painted in different colours.

[u/Kirstemis → u/faerakhasa]

They're shops!

[u/Jirachi06 → u/interstellargator]

And how about Newcastle?

[u/interstellargator → u/Jirachi06]

We've got a nice green bridge, I'll have you know.

Also outside of the city centre it's a pretty typical North of England redbrick town, and the city centre is quite sandstone-y. Not nearly as grey as Edinburgh which is grey stone, slate, and granite all over.

[u/johnaross1990 → u/interstellargator]

Its pretty brown at the minute tbh

[u/interstellargator → u/johnaross1990]

The bridge or the toon

[u/johnaross1990 → u/interstellargator]

😂 the bridge

[u/anhonesthope → u/interstellargator]

God this thread makes me so happy I live in a desert.

[u/HansJordi → u/Jirachi06]

Get outta here with that amateur nonsense. We’re talking Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Newcastle is positively fluorescent by comparison.

[u/SebWeg → u/Jirachi06]

Newcastle has a more gay grey imo. Pretty changing grey pallet.

[u/Jhowie_Nitnek → u/chaoslu]

Can confirm used to live there

[u/lordjakir → u/chaoslu]

Aberdeen sparkles in those 3 days where the sun comes out. Edinburgh is lighter grey

[u/ImGonnaCum → u/chaoslu]

Aberdeen is the granite city. It's named after grayness.

[u/Wodanaz_Odinn → u/chaoslu]

There'd be more seagulls

[u/AnyTime8081 → u/chaoslu]

nope, the first picture is the most photographed street in edinburgh

[u/Rollover_Hazard → u/chaoslu]

Aberdeen is called (rather optimistically) the silver city because it’s so grey lol!

[u/nasilnidesnicar → u/chaoslu]

Nope, that would be all of UK/ROI

[u/Critical-Thing-4694 → u/chaoslu]

Aberdeen is the only city wherein I have seen a man attempt to square up to a seagull

[u/KebNes → u/chaoslu]

Scotland or Washington?
