Conservatives keep hold of southern Scotland seats

The Conservatives have retained their three seats across the south of Scotland at the general election.

It was a long night at the count in Dumfries with declarations not coming until after 09:30 – among the latest in the whole of the UK.

In the end, David Mundell was returned once more for Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale and John Cooper elected in Alister Jack’s old seat of Dumfries and Galloway.

In the Borders, John Lamont had kicked off the Conservative hat-trick earlier in the morning by retaining his Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk seat.
