The Liberal Democrats had held this seat since 1999, and Menzies Campbell still holds the equivalent seat at Westminster. Iain Smith was defeated by SNP candidate Rod Campbell, who came from third place with a large 15% swing. Miles Briggs, the Conservative candidate, failed to take a third seat for the Conservatives on the regional vote.

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.
