On Thursday 1 May 1997, the 1997 United Kingdom general election was held in Scotland, to elect all 659 members of the House of Commons, with 72 constituencies being in Scotland. This would be the last UK general election to be contested in Scotland before the Scottish Parliament was established on 1 July 1999 following overwhelming public approval in a referendum.
The eleventh consecutive victory for Scottish Labour, this election gained notoriety for the fact that the Conservatives, led by then Prime Minister John Major, lost every single Scottish seat they had previously held, leaving no Conservative MPs from Scotland for the first time in British history.
