Lib Dems win big in Edinburgh North Western and Edinburgh Northern

The Scottish Liberal Democrats held Edinburgh North Western with a 13,000+ majority, and GAINED the new constituency of Edinburgh Northern.

Edinburgh now has two Scottish Liberal Democrat MSPs in Holyrood, in Alex Cole-Hamilton and Sanne Dijkstra-Downie respectively.

Right across Scotland we have made a huge leap forward at this election, with 10 MSPs elected.

Thank you to everyone in the Edinburgh and Lothians East Region who backed the Scottish Liberal Democrats' plan for change with fairness at its heart.
