Ward 12 Leith Walk results: 4 elected
Marion Donaldson (Lab)
Amy McNeese-Mechan (SNP)
Susan Rae (Green)
Lewis Ritchie (SNP)
Turnout – 44.8%Very pleased about Susan Rae. Poor old Nick Gardner though. Replaced by his running mate, and then ousted by an SNP candidate who seemed to have very few clues as to what she thought about anything (from what I could see).

It'll be interesting to see where Nick lost the vote
He was #1 on all the Labour literature and incumbent from 2012, while Marion won her seat in the 2015 by-election.

@Klaxon, I know, it's puzzling. I think Marion Donaldson has been quite high profile since she was elected, getting along to community events around the top of Easter Road / Abbeyhill that I've attended. Not a terribly impressive public speaker, but she turns up to stuff. Maybe Nick Gardner was just not doing enough of that, too involved in council committees, I don't know.

Also, apparently I just came through a door about 15 seconds before Ruth Davidson was due to do so to find a bank of about twenty cameras trained on me. I looked surprised and shuffled out of shot.

That's one I don't understand. Here's the breakdown:
Sighthill/Gorgie (ward 7) Edinburgh
SNP 1190
SNP 1574
Tory 1621
SNP 648
Scot Greens 1,264
LibDem 332
Labour 844
Labour 993This shows why the 1st preference voter numbers are pretty irrelevant. At first glance the Green's appear to be in with a strong chance of a seat.
However looking at party lines SNP had more than twice the greens while both Tory and had more votes. This means that as votes are redistributed the greens end up in unlucky 5th place.
Some of the next preference votes obviously did change party but not enough to save the green candidate.

@crowriver indeed! I think the concerns from earlier are gradually being eroded.

@jdanielp can you please tell whoever is uploading the results to the council website to fix the link to the Leith Walk ward on https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/councilresults2017 (currently goes to Leith ward results)

@Klaxon not sure where that's being done so you might be better emailing/Tweeting.

With 46 Councillors announced:
Scottish Conservative and Unionist 13
Scottish Liberal Democrats 5
Scottish National Party 14
Scottish Green Party 6
Scottish Labour Party 8So no two party coalition available if promises aren't broken.
Nigel Bagshaw is a huge loss.

@chdot yeah, the pre-recount numbers are what brought the mood down earlier so this wasn't unexpected but still disappointing!
