Broughton and 'Greater Spurtleshire' fall between three City of Edinburgh Council wards. Below are the candidates for the 3 May election, with photographs and links where available. If you are aware of better links, let us know and we'll update.
The Broughton Spurtle has no party-political (or Independent candidate) affiliation. These links are intended as background information. Their contents have not been verified by the Spurtle, and their appearance or not here reflects only the ease with which they could be found.
