Edinburgh has been ranked second in the world in an annual quality of life survey.

Analysis by Deutsche Bank found the Scottish capital was only topped by Wellington, New Zealand, and placed higher than Vienna, Austria, and Melbourne, Australia.

The report looked at data from 47 cities in categories such as safety, healthcare, cost of living, property prices and pollution before reaching its conclusions.

Edinburgh ranked top in the world for commuter times, second for healthcare and third in terms of pollution.

The city was ranked 25th in the report's cost of living index and 24th for its climate.

The analysis described Edinburgh as "a consistent all rounder", adding: "Decent opportunities, average costs but less stressful living/working conditions assuming you agree with the climate score."

It also said: "There is no perfect way of calculating this but we wanted to stimulate debate and highlight how cities rank on subjective quality-of-life variables."
