Central Fife was a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood). It elected one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. Also, however, it is one of nine constituencies in the Mid Scotland and Fife electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The former First Minister Henry McLeish represented the constituency from 1999 to 2003.
From the Scottish Parliament election, 2011, Central Fife was redrawn and renamed Mid Fife and Glenrothes.
The other eight constituencies of the South of Scotland region are Dunfermline East, Dunfermline West, Fife North East, Kirkcaldy, Ochil, Perth, Stirling and Tayside North.
