Cunninghame North is a large rural/industrial seat in Scotland's Ayrshire. The seat contains the Isle of Arran and the resort town of Largs, and also more working-class towns and some former coalmining communities. For a Scottish constituency this produces a quite mixed social profile, with election results to match. Labour's Brian Wilson holds the seat, but with a very modest 41 per cent of the vote. The Conservatives come a fairly close second and there is also a significant SNP vote. Labour will hope to be safe in 1997, but this is not one of those solidly Labour seats that the party can always count on.
