  Do you think you know all there is to know about Edinburgh? Fed up of being called a 'know-it-all' by friends and family? Now's your chance to prove just how much you do know! Or maybe you want answers to all those niggling questions about Edinburgh's more peculiar aspects. Why, for instance, is the clock on the Balmoral Hotel always slightly fast? And who inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Step into the hot seat for hours of fun with Who wants to be an Edinburgher? - What kind of dog was Greyfriar's Bobby? - Is there really nude skydiving at Ingliston Market? - What is so unusual about the Tron Kirk? These are just three of the 500 questions on subjects such as sport, history and entertainment. As you monkey around at Edinburgh Zoo, take a trip down Mary King's Close and relive memorable football matches, you'll soon learn all you ever wanted to know about Auld Reekie.
