Scottish Parliament Regional Seat Compositions

by
Craig Cockburn

All,

I've compiled the following lists of Scottish constituencies and their groupings for the regional lists for the Scottish General Election. This was compiled from the Scottish Office Website (which is hopelessly wrong) and The Herald's forecast of the Scottish Election (which also had mistakes). I think I've got the mistakes out as well as the correct name for each constituency (but I'm not sure about the Euro seat names). Corrections welcome.

Thanks,
Craig
