	Edinburgh (city) - MSN Encarta
		Edinburgh is the second most populous city in Scotland after Glasgow, and is Scotland's administrative, cultural, educational, and service-industry hub.
		Edinburgh's climate is commonly cloudy with moderate rainfall, and its proximity to the sea impedes temperature extremes.
		Edinburgh's port facilities at Leith and Granton (the former being the headquarters of the Forth Ports Authority) are a major service-point for vessels associated with the North Sea petroleum industry, as well as handling bulk dry goods.

	Report of Proceedings
		The Commission, therefore, adopted a general policy regarding constituency names by agreeing that, in the absence of objections, where there is a volume of local support in favour of changing the name of a constituency as set out in its provisional recommendations, the revised name would normally be accepted.
		The proposed constituency is completed by the addition of 2 wards, numbers 15 and 16, which are within Edinburgh Central constituency and 3 wards, numbers 10, 17 and 18, which are within the existing Edinburgh North and Leith constituency.
		Edinburgh is, in some ways is a collection of villages that have grown up over the years, it doesn’t have boundaries that are always in straight lines, it is inevitable that if you look to the map there may be some odd shapes.

	Introduction
		In relation to the proposed East Lothian constituency it is to be noted that the Commission’s recommendation complies with rule 4(1)(b) of Schedule 2 to the 1986 Act (as amended) in that it has regard to “the boundaries of local authority areas”.
		For the most part, any proposed alterations to the recommended constituency boundaries in Edinburgh were advanced by reference to the matter of “local ties” as mentioned in rule 7(b), and to a lesser extent by reference to the matters of “geographical considerations” and “inconveniences” as set out in rules 6 and 7(a) respectively.
		The Commission’s recommended constituency of East Lothian was accepted without question by all of the major political parties who appeared at the inquiry; by East Lothian Council; and by Anne Picking, the Member of Parliament for East Lothian, and John Home Robertson, the MSP for East Lothian.
