Counts were under way through the night across Edinburgh and the Lothians as voters waited to hear who had been elected as their local MPs.

Published at around 10pm yesterday, the exit poll predicted a grim night for the SNP with a projection of just 10 seats across Scotland.

And it was a bad night for the party in Edinburgh and the Lothians, with Labour having gained in all seven of the seats previously held by the SNP.
