The final film in our adventuring children series, this was always intended as a big finish.
Well over a hundred people filled Broughton St Mary’s Parish Church last night at a hustings for the Scottish Parliamentary election on 5 May.
On the podium were nine candidates for the Edinburgh Northern & Leith constituency plus a representative sample of those standing in the Lothian regional list. Solidarity had been invited but did not reply or attend.
There were no incumbents on view, either because their parties were already represented here, or – in the case of Malcolm Chisholm – they had stood down.
All candidates invited to our hustings this evening have also been invited to provide a short written introduction to themselves.
The latest to respond is Andy Wightman (Green), whose words we reprint in full below.

The planning permission granted to Underbelly Ltd in 2014 (Ref. 14/03914/FUL) had as a condition that the company should restore St Andrew Square Garden within three months of the removal of temporary structures associated with its Christmas and New Year events.
Our understanding is that the deadline passed yesterday. This was the scene this afternoon.
The Garden has not been fully restored.
