East Kilbride (Gaelic: Cille Bhrìghde an Ear) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) covering part of the council area of South Lanarkshire. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. Also, however, it is one of nine constituencies in the Central Scotland electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The seat has been held by Collette Stevenson of the Scottish National Party since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.

The other eight constituencies of the Central Scotland region are: Airdrie and Shotts, Coatbridge and Chryston, Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, Falkirk East, Falkirk West, Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, Motherwell and Wishaw and Uddingston and Bellshill.
The region covers all of the Falkirk council area, all of the North Lanarkshire council area and part of the South Lanarkshire council area.

Constituency profile
BBC profile for 2016 election:[2]
This constituency is based around Scotland's oldest new town - East Kilbride. Its post-war housing, built on former farm land, has attracted families who work in office-based centres and who commute into nearby Glasgow, 8 miles to the north west. The area's Hairmyres Hospital was opened 10 years ago and was built with private finance initiative money. The constituency's good road and public transport links has attracted some big employers. These include HM Revenue and Customs, which has several large office in East Kilbride, although these are facing closure as the agency restructures its operations. The dairy company Robert Wiseman is also based in East Kilbride, and the town centre is occuped by a large shopping centre comprising six interlinked malls. Labour's Andy Kerr represented the seat from the founding of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 until Linda Fabiani took it for the SNP in 2011. |
