Stirling and Strathallan is centred on the city of Stirling and extends into surrounding towns, villages and rural communities. Stirling is the principal urban, commercial and transport centre, positioned beside the River Forth and important north–south routes. Beyond the city, the constituency includes farmland, wooded valleys and increasingly upland landscapes toward the Highlands. Smaller settlements are widely dispersed and retain distinct local identities. Major road and rail links connect the area with Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth. Overall, the seat combines one historic city with a large and varied rural hinterland.
Election data comes from UK Parliament. Turnout percentage is calculated by Project Open Gov from Parliament's turnout and electorate figures.

Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
44,515 householdsCensus 2022
One-person households32.7% · 14,571 households
Families with dependent children24.1% · 10,728 households
Other single-family households38.9% · 17,314 households
Other household types4.3% · 1,902 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
102,001 people in the source baseCensus 2022Source comparison: Scotland
Day-to-day activities limited a lot9.1% · 9,297 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little12.8% · 13,024 people
Non-disabled78.1% · 79,680 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

About this award
My plan is to record an album of original music featuring melodies I've written inspired by my hometown of Ardrossan and its shipbuilding past and others reflecting my present home in the Blane Valley. Many of the pieces have already been performed by the musicians I've asked to play on the recording. These include Alice Allen (cello), Ailie Robertson (clarsach), Chris Gibb (border pipes) and my long time collaborators Euan Drysdale (guitar/piano) and Iain Crawford (double bass). The album will be recorded at Kippen Parish Church, in rural Stirlingshire using a newly refurbished Steinway piano restored by local piano technician expert Alasdair Mclean. The album will be engineered and co-produced by Duncan Lyall, one of the folk music genres most respected producers. Tracks will include 'Montgomerie's Dream' (about the proposed 1791 Ardrossan to Glasgow Canal) and 'The Auld Pipe Track' written in recognition of the famous water route opened by Queen Victoria in 1859.
