Most of their gains were in the wards of the Fife North East constituency where they had previously only had a single seat.

The UK Independence Party lost its only Scottish Councillor who had defected from the Conservatives in 2008.

This replaced the previous SNP - Lib Dem coalition administration.

The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 3 May 2007.

This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at dissolution of Scotland's councils.
