EDINBURGH and the Lothians were today hailed as an "economic powerhouse" which will play a key role in Scotland's economic recovery.
Scottish Labour finance spokesman Andy Kerr told a business breakfast organised by Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce that his party's single most important goal is growing the economy to create jobs and prosperity.
But he claimed the SNP's "obsession" with independence showed it had the wrong priorities and would damage Scotland's prospects of success.
