Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee are cities in what country?

Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee are cities in Scotland. Scotland is one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom, occupying the northern part of the island of Great Britain.

Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital and the seat of the Scottish Parliament, while Glasgow is the country’s largest city and a major cultural and industrial centre. Dundee sits on the north bank of the Firth of Tay and is known for its maritime history, universities and design heritage.

These cities are all officially recognised Scottish cities, but they have very different identities. Edinburgh is internationally associated with its medieval Old Town, Georgian New Town and annual festivals; Glasgow is famous for music, architecture and museums; and Dundee has strong links to shipbuilding, journalism and video-game development. A common mix-up is to answer “the United Kingdom,” which is politically related but less specific than the question’s geographic answer: Scotland.
