ONE in six people in Britain confuses the locations of Edinburgh and Glasgow on a map of the UK, according to new research published today.
The study by Insight Guides, the publisher of the world's largest collection of visual travel guides and maps, showed interviewees a map with a series of cities marked on it and asked them to name them. The maps were shown with no county borders.
Just over five per cent of those asked mistook London for another city.
Jeremy Westwood, Managing Director of Insight Guides who commissioned the research, said: "We were amazed by the ignorance and basic elementary errors that a worryingly high percentage of the interviewees made.
"Major cities, home to millions of people, were being placed hundreds of miles from their rightful place on a map. In some cases, pass rates were below 50 per cent which is staggering."
