Which island contains London, Liverpool, and Edinburgh?

The story behind the answer

Great Britain is the island containing London, Liverpool, and Edinburgh.

Great Britain is the largest island in the British Isles and consists of England, Scotland, and Wales. London and Liverpool are in England, while Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland. Wales occupies the island’s western peninsula. The island is politically distinct from the United Kingdom, which also includes Northern Ireland and several smaller islands.

The term “Britain” is often used informally for the United Kingdom, but geographically Great Britain means the island itself. Ireland is a separate island to the west, and the Isle of Man and Isle of Wight are smaller islands nearby.
