Dunedin, Gaelic for Edinburgh, is sometimes referred to as 'The Edinburgh of the South'. The city was planned in Scotland and many of its streets have the same names and layout as Edinburgh. Dunedin even has its own district Tartan, which was designed to commemorate the first settlers from the Free Church of Scotland who arrived in March 1848.
