Liberal Democrat Alex Cole-Hamilton won the seat by a majority of 2960 votes.
Shortly after the result was declared Cole-Hamilton told The Edinburgh Reporter: “This is the culmination of a two year journey, not just my journey but the journey of many hundreds of activists who all deserve a share in this fantastic joy that we are feeling tonight. It’s a great night!
“First I am going to set up a parliamentary office and take up a lot of the casework that is still outstanding from the period of the campaign. There are some really core local issues and some very moving personal stories that require quite urgent attention.”
