Regional Council

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 last is called Forth Valley Health Board.

Scottish Parliament

Central Scotland (Meadhan-Alba in Gaelic) is also the name of one of the eight electoral areas for the Scottish Parliament from which the 56 Additional Members System MSPs are elected. It covers a different geographical area from the former Central Region though, stretching from Kilmarnock, through most of Lanarkshire up to Falkirk.
