East Lothian , in the south east of Scotland , used to be considered a safe Labour seat.
But the 2015 general election changed everything: the SNP claimed a massive landslide victory, winning 56 out of the 59 Scottish constituencies.
Now Labour looks set to reclaim not only this constituency but potentially dozens of others north of the border.
Lothian East is one of Scotland ’s best-kept secret, boasting more than 40 miles of coastline and swathes of rolling countryside.
The region which voted against Scottish independence in the 2014 referendum is steeped in history.
Labour veteran Douglas Alexander will battle it out against SNP 's Lyn Jardine in the constituency.
The Electoral Calculus website rated her chances of doing so at seven per cent on Friday .
The SNP introduced a new band of income tax in Scotland in April for those earning more than 75,000 .
Anyone earning 28,867 or more now pays more than someone earning the same elsewhere in the UK .
“The fact I pay more tax than someone 30 miles down the road in [the English town of] Berwick-upon-Tweed is insane,” fumes a Tory -voting woman in her 40s on Dunbar’s High Street.
