Region Profile
The West of Scotland region has within its boundaries ten Holyrood constituencies. They include Clydebank and Milngavie; Cunninghame North; Cunninghame South; Dumbarton; Eastwood; Greenock and Inverclyde; Paisley; Renfrewshire North and West; Renfrewshire South; and Strathkelvin and Bearsden.
The region is economically and environmentally eclectic. The town of Greenock has seen the computer technology industry flourish and decline in recent years, while “The Gateway to the Highlands” is close by and includes Loch Lomond National Park. Gourock in Inverclyde is a starting point for ferries to other Scottish Islands and Eastwood is home to the best state schools in Scotland.
At the 2011 election, Labour won three seats, the SNP two and the Conservatives also won two.
