Britain By Car - A Motoring History

Lothians

Once part of the Anglian kingdom of Bernicia, extending south into what is today Northumberland, the Lothians became part of the Kingdom of Scotland towards the end of the tenth century. 

Today, the Lothians cover the areas to the east, south and west of Edinburgh, as well as the city of Edinburgh itself.
