This week marks the 25th anniversary of the first Scottish Parliament elections and the third anniversary of my election as MSP for Edinburgh Central.

It has been and continues to be a great honour to represent the place I grew up. The Edinburgh Central constituency extends from the Scottish Parliament down to Newington via Dumbiedykes, across the Meadows through Tollcross to Haymarket and Gorgie Dalry; north into Murrayfield and Craigleith; and looping back around to Parliament via Stockbridge. In the middle sit the Old Town, New Town and the West End.

It hosts a cornucopia of charities, businesses, community groups, key Scottish institutions and monuments and, of course, a bustling population. I have been privileged to meet so many of these groups and people, and doing so offers a window into our community and society. Indeed, I am always amazed at the commitment people have to improving our city and making lives better for all.
