Central (Roinn Meadhanach in Gaelic) was a local government region of Scotland from 1974 to 1996. It is now divided into the council areas of Falkirk, Stirling, and Clackmannanshire, which had previously been districts within the Central Region.
There continues to be a joint police service, fire service, and electoral, valuation, and health boards for the area. The latter is called Forth Valley Health Board.
