A new study asked 3,000 Brits to consider their general life satisfaction on a scale of one to ten.
Despite having been named one of the most desirable places in the UK to live in the past, the research found Edinburgh to be the most miserable place to live in the UK.
Just 16 per cent of Edinburgh residents describe their lives as ‘happy’, favouring the word ‘anxious’ instead.
Liverpool. Southampton and Glasgow could also be found near the bottom of the table for happiness levels.
At the other end of the scale, Brighton took the title of Britain’s “happiness” capital, with more than a third of the city’s population describing their lives as ‘happy’.

The popular coastal city beat competition from Leicester and Portsmouth to take the top spot.
Oxford, Norwich and Bristol also appeared in the top ten happiest cities to live in, and Manchester, Belfast and Cardiff all took high positions.
Marketing Director Kerry Collinge, for 9NINE Seed brand, which commissioned the study, said: “Brighton residents have found themselves topping our happiest city chair.
“Maybe it’s the sea air and sunny weather that keeps them smiling.
“Happiness is at the heart of our brand. Our study has helped to show that when it comes to the secret of happiness the simple things in life are usually best.
“Forty winks, close friends and enough time with our favourite food and entertainment seem to keep a smile on the faces of most.”
Oxford came top in the life satisfaction stakes with a score of 6.72 out of ten, while Edinburgh once again found itself in last with a life satisfaction average of 5.89 out of ten.
Last year, the remote Scottish islands of the Outer Hebrides was found to be the happiest place to live.
