Running north from the comfortable Georgian terraces of Edinburgh's 'New Town' to the gritty port of Leith, Edinburgh North and Leith has a mixed social profile, the balance of which should favour Labour quite strongly. On different boundaries, Labour won hereabouts in 1992 with little over a third of the vote, after the SNP made a strong advance to second place, while Labour was hampered then by a former MP standing as Independent Labour. On balance the new seat should return to being more safely Labour in 1997, but the constituency has the potential to reflect any changing political landscape in Scotland engineered by the SNP.
