Map of Scotland showing the location
of the former Central region

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.

Scottish Parliament electoral region

Main article: Central Scotland (Scottish Parliament region)

Central Scotland (Meadhan-Alba in Gaelic) is also the name of one of the eight electoral regions of the Scottish Parliament. It covers, however, a different geographical area from the former local government region, stretching from Kilmarnock, through most of Lanarkshire up to Falkirk. The electoral region covers 10 of the 73 constituencies of the parliament. In addition to constituency Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) the region elects seven of the 56 additional-member MSPs.
