Strathclyde Region was named after
the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde, which broadly covered the
northern end of the same area (with the significant exceptions of
Argyll and the islands of Bute and Arran.1. The original 'kingdom'
included modern Dumfries and Galloway and part of Cumbria).
It was the region with the largest land area in the country, with a
population in excess of 2.9 million and an area stretching from the
Highlands to the Southern Uplands. The politics of the region were
by and large dominated by the Labour Party. The first convener was
the Rev Geoff Shaw, who died in 1978. The regional and
administrative capital as well as the largest city was Glasgow, the
rest of the Region comprised the former counties of Ayr, Argyll
(with the exception of the far north of the county), Bute,
Dunbartonshire, Lanark and Renfrew.
The system of regions and districts (replacing the former county and
burgh councils) were created by the Local Government (Scotland) Act
1973 and entered into effect in May 1975.
Sub-regions and Districts
There were 19 districts within Strathclyde Region which lay within 6
'sub-regions' or 'divisions' which corresponded to the counties they
replaced:
