UK Local Elections 2026Background
Eastwood is a constituency on the southern fringe of Greater Glasgow, covering commuter suburbs including Newton Mearns and Clarkston. It has been one of the most reliably Conservative seats in the Scottish Parliament, reflecting the higher-income professional demographic of the area.
Despite its historically strong Conservative performance, 2026 projections place it in the SNP's column, illustrating the depth of the Scottish Conservative decline. A loss in Eastwood — once considered a SAFE seat — would be among the most striking results of the Holyrood election.
