Jamie Hepburn took this constituency seat at the second time of asking, having stood as the SNP candidate in 2007 and won as a list member in that election. Cathie Craigie had been the constituency’s MSP since 1999. Both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats lost their deposits.
Notes: Given boundary changes since 2007, variations in votes and share between seats with different boundaries would be misleading. We use the Denver figures, essentially a calculation of the 2007 votes cast within 2011 boundaries. More information on this here.
