The Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh is Dùn Èideann (or Dùn Éideann if
you prefer the older spelling). The Scots name for it is Embro. Although
isn't Glasgow (Gaelic: Glaschu; Scots Glesca) bigger?
The Irish Gaelic name for Belfast is Béal Feirste. I don't know if
Ulster Scots has a different name for it or not.
