Constituency Profile

The seat, which sits south of Ayr, is a mix of pastoral beauty and post-industrial areas, famously eulogised by poet Robert Burns, who was born in Alloway. The hills and coastal scenery attract tourists, but there is also a significant industrial heritage. John Loudon Macadam first experimented with his tarmac on roads here, and there is a history of coal mining and ironworks.

There is farming to the south, and a small seaside resort at Girvan, but the industrial regions are the most heavily populated. Keir Hardie, co-founder of the Labour Party and its first ever candidate, lived in Cumnock for many years.

Historically, this area was represented at Westminster by Jim Sillars between 1970 and 1979, as a Labour MP before he joined the SNP. Labour's Cathy Jamieson won the seat at the first Holyrood election in 1999 and held it in 2003 and 2007, before Adam Ingram took it for the SNP in 2011.
