(''Mòr-bhaile Dhùn Èideann'' in
Gaelic ) is one of 32 unitary council regions in
Scotland . It borders onto
West Lothian ,
Midlothian ,
East Lothian and
Scottish Borders . Primarily comprised of the
City itself, there are also a number of villages within the authority area too. Much of the
Pentland Hills are based in the area as well.
The council administration has been run by the
Labour Party for a number of years now. One of their recent initiatives was to try and introduce road tolls for those entering the city, as well as tolls for those entering the city centre from within the city as well. However, they had to shelve these plans when an overwhelming majority of Edinburgh residents opposed the plan in a
Referendum .
The current
Lord Provost of Edinburgh is
Lesley Hinds , who replaced
Eric Milligan on
May 8 ,
2003 .
