Mid Scotland and Fife was a European Parliament constituency in the United Kingdom prior to the uniform adoption of proportional representation in the UK in 1999. The United Kingdom had previously used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and only had one Member of the European Parliament each.
1979-1984: Clackmannan and East Stirlingshire, Dunfermline, Fife Central, Fife East, Kinross and West Perthshire, Kirkcaldy, Perth and East Perthshire, Stirling, Falkirk and Grangemouth, Stirlingshire West.[3]
1984-1999: Central Fife, Clackmannan, Dunfermline East, Dunfermline West, Falkirk East, Falkirk West, Kirkcaldy, North East Fife, Perth and Kinross, Stirling.[4]
The 1979-1984 boundaries exactly mirror the boundaries of the present-day Scottish Parliament electoral region of the same name.
