Glenrothes and Mid Fife (UK Parliament constituency)

Glenrothes and Mid Fife (/ɡlɛnˈrɒθɪs/) is a constituency in Scotland in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament, represented by Richard Baker of the Labour Party since the 2024 general election.

[1] 2005–2024: Under the Fifth Review of UK Parliament constituencies, the constituency boundaries were defined in accordance with the ward structure in place on 30 November 2004 and contained the Fife Council wards of Cardenden, Cluny and Chapel; Kinglassie, Bowhill and Dundonald; Wemyss and Muiredge; Buckhaven and Denbeath; Methilhill; Methil; Leven West and Kirkland; Kennoway; Windygates, Star and Balgonie; Markinch and Woodside East; Auchmuty and Woodside West; Pitteuchar and Finglassie North; Thornton, Stenton and Finglassie South; Caskieberran and Rimbleton; Newcastle and Tanshall; South Parks and Macedonia; Leslie and Whinnyknowe; Balgeddie and Collydean; Cadham, Pitcoudie and Balfarg.

As a result of the boundary review, the communities of Lochgelly, Kelty and the Benarty area were added from the (renamed) Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy constituency.

Glenrothes was created for the 2005 general election, mostly replacing Central Fife, but incorporating small parts of Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline East.

The first holder of the newly created seat was John MacDougall, who died on 13 August 2008,[4] triggering a by-election.
