If Scotland votes ‘yes’ for independence in the Scottish referendum on Thursday then its border with England will become much more significant than before.

There’s no doubt the impending vote has put Scotland on the world stage, but can visitors from around the world draw the Scottish border and locate Edinburgh?

We decided to put tourists to the test in Green Park, near Buckingham Palace.

In a video, which can be viewed above, people from Germany, Bulgaria, Japan, the US, Romania and Australia attempted to draw the line between England and Scotland and to pinpoint the Scottish capital.

The most interesting answers came from our French friends who drew a line through the Irish Sea between mainland UK and Ireland and mistook Dublin for “Edimbarg”.

A tourist from Bulgaria split up Ireland with her attempt at the Scottish border, while a visitor from Romania thought Inverness was Edinburgh and handed Lothian, Ayrshire and Glasgow to England with a single swish of his wrist.

However, the majority of people could locate Scotland at the north of the UK and five out of seven attempts were along the right lines.

Despite tourists from Japan thinking Dundee was Edinburgh, three of the seven participants - including a German and a American - were spot on with the capital’s location.

The best attempt overall was a man from Australia who knew exactly where the border lay (despite his line being perhaps a tad too straight) and could also show us Edinburgh.
