Heart of Lothian is the fifth track on Misplaced Childhood and was its third single, released on 18 November 1985. It reached 29 in Britain and 51 in Germany. The title refers to the Heart of Midlothian in Edinburgh, and one line reads and anarchy smiles on the Royal Mile. The cover by Mark Wilkinson shows the Dugald Stewart Monument in the background.
The single version opens with the last two sections of Bitter Suite before going into Wide Boy. The B-side was a live Chelsea Monday recorded at the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht on 15 October 1985.
