Does anyone know where I can find a list of nicknames for townspeople, eg Geordies come from Newcastle, Glaswegians from Glasgow etc etc. It has to contain Scottish town and cities as I am interested in the cities of Edinburgh and Perth, among others.

Can't help with a website but the two cities you were looking for are full of Edinburgers (though they aren't too happy being called that and the name is hardly used; I actually like the idea of the Edinbourgeoisie!) and Perthites. Hope this helps.

Glaswegians are also sometimes known as Weegies, but most tend not to like this!
