EDINBURGH is perceived as a romantic and cultural city, while Glasgow is seen as edgy and poor, a survey has revealed.

Liverpool, meanwhile, has been named as the most "chavvy" city in Britain.

The study by ICD Research represents an online survey of 1,000 UK adults asked to associate a series of personality statements with ten cities.

London and Edinburgh emerged as the clear winners, taking the top spot in ten of the most desirable categories.

Edinburgh was the only city which came close to equalling London's positive response, being deemed as the most cultural, romantic, cleanest and relaxing city.

Paul Dixon, the director of ICD Research, said: "The research acts as a reality check for some cities which are striving to change their image. It also points out that some attributes, such as 'family-centric' and 'romantic', are up for grabs, as respondents found it most difficult to allocate those personalities."
