The other nine constituencies of the South of Scotland region are Airdrie and Shotts, Coatbridge and Chryston, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, East Kilbride, Falkirk East, Falkirk West, Hamilton North and Bellshill, Hamilton South and Kilmarnock and Loudoun.
The region covers all of the Falkirk council area, all of the North Lanarkshire council area, part of the South Lanarkshire council area, part of the East Ayrshire council area and a small part of the East Dumbartonshire council area.
The region itself is described as the 2nd safest Labour seat in Scotland. However, during the 2011 Scottish Parliament Elections, Labour held their seat with the smallest majority since 1999.
