UK Cities by One-Word Clue

Can you match every official city in the UK (and its crown dependencies and overseas territories) to its correct one-word clue?
Each clue may well be applicable to more than one city, but there is always only one accepted answer. Narrow it down via a process of elimination.
Yes, some clues aren't quite one word.
