Scottish Liberal Party

The party lost its last remaining seats in the UK Parliament in 1945, and continued to decline in popular support in the post war years, with Jo Grimond (who won back Orkney and Shetland in 1950) being the sole Scottish Liberal MP in the House of Commons from 1951 to 1964.

The party gained a partial revival in the 1964 general election returning three further MPs; George Mackie, Russell Johnston and Alasdair Mackenzie.

A further gain came the following year with David Steel's victory at the Roxburgh, Selkirk and Peebles by-election.

Early in 1881, they merged, forming the Scottish Liberal Association, led by Gladstone and Adam.

[4] The Scottish Women's Liberal Federation was formed in 1891 from regional groups and was led by Anne Lindsay.

The Liberals reached their zenith in Scotland at the 1906 general election, where they won over 80% of Scottish seats.
