The Scottish constituency of East Lothian runs from former coal-mining and working class communities just to the east of Edinburgh, across increasingly rural countryside, to the resort town of Dunbar, taking in inland communities like Haddington on the A1, and the coastal town of North Berwick. Boundary changes on the edge of Edinburgh make the seat less safe for Labour, and, in a good year, the Conservatives will hope to win here. This seems unlikely in 1997.
