In 1999, a [[Scottish Parliament constituency]] was created with the same name and boundaries, and continues in use. See ''[[Edinburgh Pentlands (Scottish Parliament constituency)]]''.

 

== Boundaries ==

 

In 2005, prior to the general election, the Westminster constituency was one of six covering the [[City of Edinburgh council area]]. Five were entirely within the city council area. One, [[Edinburgh East and Musselburgh (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh East and Musselburgh]], straddled the boundary with the [[East Lothian council area]], to take in [[Musselburgh]]. Edinburgh Pentlands covered a south-western portion of the city council area.

In terms of [[ward (politics)|ward]]s used for elections to the [[City of Edinburgh Council]], 1999 to 2007, Edinburgh Pentlands included wards named [[Balerno]], [[Baberton]], [[Colinton]], [[Craiglockhart]], [[Fairmilehead]], [[Firrhill, Edinburgh|Firrhill]], [[Murrayburn]], [[Parkhead, Edinburgh|Parkhead]], and [[Sighthill, Edinburgh|Sighthill]]. The [[South Morningside]] ward was split between Edinburgh Pentlands and [[Edinburgh South (UK Parliament constituency)|Edinburgh South]]. The seat had an urban north and a suburban centre. The remaining area was rural, and included a [[Pentland Hills]] area in the south.
