	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.

	Report on City of Edinburgh by the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland
		Edinburgh Central Liberal Democrats wrote to say that they wished to comment on numerous errors and omissions in the data used by the Council to produce the forecasts of electorate for 2001 and did not believe that these forecasts were an adequate basis for the determination of ward boundaries.
		Having examined the data for Edinburgh Central Parliamentary Constituency, it was suggested that the counts of electorate from the 1996 register for 8 of the 14 wards were incorrect and although none of the errors exceeded 100, the existence of any error demonstrated that the data had not been checked.
		Edinburgh South Liberal Democrats suggested that the proposals to change the name of Ward 49 from 'Mayfield' to 'Newington' was bizarre and a spurious and misleading connection would be suggested.

	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.
		On that basis it is clear that the electorates in the Edinburgh constituencies must in general exceed the electoral quota, and, that being so, it was submitted that the figures produced under the Liberal Democrat proposals are not unacceptable.

		The first elections for Members of the Scottish Parliament took place on 6th May 1999, the new MSPs sat for the first time on 12th May and the Parliament took up its full legislative powers on the 1st of July when the Parliament was officially opened by the Queen.
		These constituencies are the same as for elections to Westminster with the exception of Orkney and Shetland, which are separate constituencies in the Scottish Parliament.
		In addition, 56 regional members, seven members for each of the eight former Scottish constituencies in the European Parliament, are elected on a proportional basis; this is intended to ensure that the overall composition of the Scottish Parliament reflects closely the total number of votes cast for each of the political parties.

	Edinburgh Evening News - Westminster wants most list MSPs axed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It proposed two MSPs should be elected from each constituency, using new Westminster boundaries, and the current 56 members elected from regional top-up lists should be scrapped in favour of a national top-up list of just 11 members.
		The committee said one option, favoured by the Lib Dems, was to link together Westminster constituencies to create a larger Holyrood constituency, and use the single transferable vote to elect all MSPs.
		The number of Scottish MPs at Westminster is being cut from 72 to 59 to bring the size of Scottish constituencies into line with those south of the Border in the wake of devolution.
