Deidre Brock has won the Edinburgh North and Leith constituency for the SNP.
She defeated Labour's Mark Lazarowicz by 23,742 votes (40.9%, +31.3% on 2010) to 18,145 votes (31.3%, -6.2%).
Iain McGill (Conservative) came third with 9,378 votes (16.2%, +1.2%), Sarah Beattie-Smith (Green) secured 3,140 votes (5.4%,+3.2%), and Martin Veart (Liberal-Democrat) got 2,634 (4.5%, -29.3%).
Alan Melville (UKIP) received 847 votes (1.5%, +1.5%) and Bruce Whitehead (Left Unity) 122 votes (0.2%).
Just over 58,000 constituents voted, representing a remarkable turnout of 71.6% (up on 68% in 2010).
SNP successes were repeated across the capital, except in Edinburgh South where Conservative voters appear to have acted tactically to return Labour's Ian Murray with a 4.4% increase in his share of the vote. He is now the only Labour MP remaining in Scotland.

I'll say this folks: you'll miss us while we're gone.
Listening to Cameron's victory speech, I can barely imagine a party with whom I disagree more. Horrified at prospect of another 5yrs of this
