Edinburgh Pentlands (Scottish Parliament constituency)

During the period Edinburgh Pentlands was in existence, the other eight constituencies of the Lothian region were: Almond Valley, Edinburgh Central, Edinburgh Eastern, Edinburgh Northern and Leith, Edinburgh Southern, Edinburgh Western, Linlithgow and Midlothian North and Musselburgh. In this period the region included all of the City of Edinburgh council area, parts of the East Lothian council area, parts of the Midlothian council area and all of the West Lothian council area. The Lothian electoral region was also abolished as a result of second periodic review, with the area covered now mostly forming parts of the new Edinburgh and Lothians East and Central Scotland and Lothians West regions, with a small portion also being transferred to the South Scotland region. ==Constituency boundaries and council area==

During the period Edinburgh Pentlands was in existence, Edinburgh was represented in the Scottish Parliament by six constituencies: Edinburgh Central, Edinburgh Eastern, Edinburgh Northern and Leith, Edinburgh Pentlands, Edinburgh Southern and Edinburgh Western. The Edinburgh Pentlands constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, for the 1999, using the name and boundaries of the existing Edinburgh Pentlands constituency of the House of Commons. Ahead of the 2005 United Kingdom general election the boundaries of constituencies for the House of Commons were reviewed, whilst being retained for elections to the Scottish Parliament. There is now no longer any link between the two sets of boundaries. Following the first periodic review Edinburgh Pentlands was defined using the following electoral wards of the City of Edinburgh Council: • In full: Pentland Hills, Colinton/Fairmilehead • In part: Sighthill/Gorgie shared with (Edinburgh Central) ==Members of the Scottish Parliament==
