It is one of eight electoral regions of the Scottish Parliament and covers the nine constituencies of Dunfermline East, Dunfermline West, Fife central, Fife North East, Kirkcaldy, North Tayside, Ochil, Perth and Stirling.

For a taste of quintessential Scotland, The "wee county" of Clackmannanshire, with its centre in the old brewing town of Alloa, is Scotland's smallest Council area. Its northern boundary lies along the Hillfoots of the Ochil Hills with its former mill villages, whilst its southern edge follows the estuary of the River Forth. Tourism in this area is increasing and is based around the "Tower Trail" - 5 historic towers representing differing ages in Scotland's history.

The old "Kingdom of Fife" has a number of large population centres from Dunfermline to Kirkcaldy and St Andrews to Glenrothes all to the south and east of the county.  St Andrews is famous for its ancient university, whilst Kirkcaldy was built on money from industries such as linoleum. The coast has small harbours, which inland their is evidence of the former coal mining areas and their neighbouring settlements.  The northern part of Fife is agricultural and mainly small towns and villages. Apart from the breathtaking scenery in the area covered by Mid-Scotland & Fife the region is well served by rail and major road communications.  This attracts visitors from home and abroad to many attractions like the Wallace Monument
and Thistles Shopping Centre in Stirling, to Perth's old streets and wynds contrasting with its brand new Concert Hall. Deep Sea world in North Queensferry has proved popular amongst local school children whilst culturally, the hosting of the annual Links Market in Kirkcaldy- Europe’s longest and highly successful street fair, attracts over half a million visitors every year. Alloa is also benefiting from the reopening of its rail line connection with Stirling and onwards to Glasgow and Edinburgh, bringing more visitors to the many historical and rural attractions in the wee county.
