Worth noting:
Cunninghame South moved from South Scotland into West Scotland region in the boundary change, which accounts for the discrepancy in the +/- seat column.
The SNP made significant inroads into Labour heartland territory in West Scotland, adding 5 constituencies to their solitary success there in 2007, Cunninghame North, with the result that Labour won 3 regional MSPs here – like Glasgow, this was the first time that this had occurred.
Because of boundary changes, Eastwood is presented as a notional Labour gain, despite Labour’s Ken Macintosh being the incumbent there.
