who appeared on the ballot paper with the description 'Scottish
Conservative and Unionist'.

Note:-
1992: Price initially had been adopted by the local Conservative
association but was refused endorsement by Conservative Central
Office. He was a well known Presbyterian who had made outspoken
comments about roman catholics, which Conservative Central Office
believed could damage the party nationally. On refusal of his
endorsement the local Conservative association sought another
candidate and eventually selected Heany.
