Hugh Henry comfortably held this re-drawn seat for Labour, having been an MSP since 1999. He was awarded Scottish Parliamentarian of the Year award in 2010, and stood unsuccessfully for the position of Presiding Officer after the 2011 election. The Liberal Democrat candidate, Gordon Anderson, lost his deposit.

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.
