Boundary changes link much of highly respectable and Conservative-voting Central Edinburgh, with a more mixed area to the west which includes substantial and Labour voting council estates. The balance should see Labour's Alistair Darling returned to Westminster in a good year for Labour, although the constituency has the potential to be marginal if things go better than expected for the Conservatives.
