2017 Scottish local elections (English Wikipedia)

The "seats before" figure is a notional calculation by BBC News Archived 2017-09-11 at the Wayback Machine. These notional figures estimate what the results would have been in 2012, if the 2017 boundaries had been in place at that election, as boundary changes make direct comparison complicated.
