Notes for JEAN DUNCAN:
Lothian,'-thee-un is an administrative region in southern Scotland. Bordered by the rivers Tweed and Forth, the region has an area of 1,716 sq km (663 sq mi) and a population of 723,678 (1991). A highly developed region, Lothian is a major agricultural and industrial center. The chief crops are wheat, barley, and vegetables, and manufactures include paper and engineering products, textiles, and heavy metals. Some coal mining and fishing also take place. The principal cities are EDINBURGH, Haddington, and Linlithgow. \

Lothian was a part of the English shire of Northumberland before coming under the influence of the Scots in the 11th century. In 1333 the region was taken by EDWARD III of England, but it was eventually returned to the Scots. In 1975, during the reorganization of local government in Scotland, Lothian was created from parts of the former counties of East and West Lothian and Midlothian.
