Alasdair Allan won this seat for the SNP in 2007 from Labour, and was returned with a comfortable majority. The Conservative and Liberal Democrat challengers both 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.
