Historically, '''Lothian''' is that part of modern [[Scotland]] between the rivers [[Firth of Forth|Forth]] and [[River Tweed|Tweed]]. It was controlled by [[Northumbria]] from the 7th century, then [[England]], until the rise of Scottish power during the 11th century when [[Malcolm II]] won control at the battle of Carham. The Tweed border was agreed between Malcolm and king [[Canute]] in 1028. [[Edinburgh]] is its traditional administrative centre.
The region suffered frequent upheaval for most of the Middle Ages and into the modern era with the frequent hostilities between England and Scotland. It became divided into the Scottish counties of [[East Lothian|East]] and [[West Lothian]] and [[Midlothian]] until [[Margaret Thatcher]]’s administrative disturbances in 1973. Today, the region is divided into those three administrative districts plus [[Edinburgh]].
