Background
Dumfriesshire is a predominantly rural constituency in the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway region. It has been held by the Scottish Conservatives and is part of the southern Scotland cluster where the party retained seats after 2014.
For 2026, the seat is projected to change hands to the SNP as the Conservatives' Scottish support continues to contract. The constituency's loss would further consolidate SNP dominance across southern rural Scotland, a region the party has targeted systematically since the independence referendum era.
