Dunfermline and Dollar produced a resounding Labour gain from the SNP, with Graeme Downie winning more than 20,000 votes, over 8,000 more than the SNP's Naz Anis-Miah.

Conservative candidate, Thomas Heald, narrowly beat the Lib Dems' Lauren Buchanan-Quigley to third place. They were followed by Reform UK's Udo van den Brock and Ryan Blackadder from the Scottish Greens.
