Love that Quiz,

though linden never had above 50k, maybe you switched it up for Gießen or Wetzlar?

Thanks! This was actually supposed to be a different place, but I made a mistake here. The Linden in this quiz no longer exists as an independent settlement and nowadays is a borough of Hanover more commonly referred to as as Linden-Limmer.

Leith and Partick are not cities. They are just districts of Glasgow. They've never been separate cities or towns

Level 55

Both were separate burghs and counted as different settlements according to the 1901 Census.

Leith isn't a district of Glasgow in the modern-day, it's been part of Edinburgh since only since 1920. It had been administered by the city before, but was made separate in 1833.

Partick was also a separately town, being constituted as a police burgh in 1852 before being annexed by Glasgow in 1912.
