The election saw the Scottish Labour Party gain five seats to regain an overall majority on the council that they had lost at the time of the 2007 Local Elections, while also significantly increasing their vote.

Meanwhile, Independent and former Labour Party member, Paul Mack, secured a seat on the council.

This replaced the previous SNP – Lib Dem coalition that had existed from 2007 to 2012.

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.
