"of the former Central region"
Central Region ("Roinn Meadhanach" in Gaelic) was a local government region of Scotland from 1975 to 1996. It is now divided into the council areas of Falkirk, Stirling, and Clackmannanshire, which had previously been districts within Central. Central Regional Council's HQ was at Viewforth in Stirling which had been previously the HQ of Stirlingshire County Council.

At the time of local government reorganisation there was great discussion on where the new region should be based the options being Stirling or Falkirk. Stirling was chosen over Falkirk as in 1972 the county council had just finished construction of a new office building in Stirling at Viewforth.

Districts

There were 3 districts within Central, these were:
*Stirling
*Falkirk
*Clackmannanshire

There continues to be a joint police service; Central Scotland Police, fire service; Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service, and electoral, valuation, and health board for the area. The latter is called Forth Valley Health Board.
