Capital makes itself heard

The results mean that the Capital has topped the complaints league for several years, with more than 10,000 domestic and non-domestic gripes being registered complaints last year.

The Edinburgh figures – released by Health Protection Scotland – surpass even Glasgow, and comfortably outweigh every other local authority in Scotland.

Experts have said previously that a combination of an urban setting, more tenement housing and even Edinburgh residents' penchant for complaining were the reasons for the high numbers.
