Mid Scotland and Fife (European Parliament constituency)

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.
