'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 the Central Region. Central Regional Council's HQ was at Viewforth in Stirling which had been previously the HQ of Stiringshire 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.
There were 3 districts within Central Region, these were:
★ Stirling
★ Falkirk
★ Clackmannanshire
