Central Scotland and Lothians West is a electoral region of the Scottish Parliament. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, the region elects seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The region was created by the Second Periodic Review of constituency and regional boundaries, the results of which were formally approved in October 2025. The new boundaries were first contested at the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.
Boundaries The region covers all of the Falkirk, North Lanarkshire and West Lothian council areas, and parts of the South Lanarkshire council area. It is similar to the former Central Scotland region, but now includes West Lothian instead of parts of South Lanarkshire that are now in the South Scotland region.
Constituencies The region contains nine constituencies. RegionConstituencies from 2026 Airdrie Almond Valley Bathgate Coatbridge and Chryston Cumbernauld and Kilsyth Falkirk East and Linlithgow Falkirk West Motherwell and Wishaw Uddingston and Bellshill
