I am confused now ‘They were Strathclyde regional divisions rather than Cunninghame district wards’

There will be only minor boundary changes at the dissolution of Holyrood later this year (not sure whether or not they will affect the result), but it will still retain its name. From 1983 the old Cunninghame North seat at Westminster was made up of three wards of Cunninghame District Council: Arran, Largs and West Kilbride; Garnock Valley; Saltcoats and Ardrossan. The only two North Ayrshire Council wards I know of that are in the present Westminster seat are Ardrossan and Arran, and North Coast and Cumbraes.

He must have taken a lot of the SNP vote in Cunninghame North. I'll revise my prediction: Labour 13000(+10) SNP 11500(+5.5) Con 5000 (-2) LD 1500 (-1) I can’t believe I forgot about the Campbell Martin fiasco!
