Gordon MacDonald, right, Ben Macpherson, centre, and Ash Denham all won constituency seats in Edinburgh
THEY may have fallen just short of a majority in the Scottish Parliament, but the SNP swept the boards in all three Edinburgh constituencies that were counted and declared yesterday.
Ash Denham, Ben Macpherson and Gordon MacDonald comfortably held Edinburgh Eastern, Edinburgh Northern and Leith and Edinburgh Pentlands respectively.
The SNP victories across the Lothians meant they gained no list MSPs for the region, but that meant three Conservatives, three Labour and two Scottish Greens were elected.
In the last result to be declared, Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater and her colleague, sitting MSP Alison Johnstone, were both elected on the Lothian regional list.
