These wards were replaced with new wards in 2007, as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004. The constituency therefore contains almost no electoral wards in its entirety. Those within its boundaries are Southside/Newington, Morningside, Colinton/Fairmilehead, and Liberton/Gilmerton, plus a handful of streets from Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart ward.
