Lothian (Lowden in Scots, Lodainn in Gaelic) forms a traditional region of Scotland, lying between the southern shore of the Firth of Forth and the Lammermuir Hills. In Lothian there is Edinburgh City, West Lothian, Mid Lothian and East Lothian. The main settlements in Lothian are Edinburgh, Livingston, Linlithgow, Bathgate and Dunbar.
Subsequent Scottish history saw Lothian subdivided into the shires of West Lothian, Midlothian and East Lothian — leading to the phrase "the Lothians". Occasionally these were known by the anglicised names of "Linlithgowshire", "Edinburghshire" and "Haddingtonshire", which omitted all reference to Lothian.[citation needed]
