Elections to South Lanarkshire Council took place on 3 May 2007 on the same day as the 31 other Scottish local government elections. The election was the first to use the 20 new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, each ward electing three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation. The new wards replaced the 67 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election. Labour retained their position as the largest party on the council but were no longer in overall control after the introduction of proportional voting saw them lose 22 seats. The Scottish National Party (SNP) recorded their best result in a South Lanarkshire election as they gained 17 seats to remain the second-largest party. The Conservatives also made gains to hold eight seats. The number of independent candidates elected with remained at three and the number of Liberal Democrats remained at two.

The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 1 May 2003. This is because STV has an element of proportionality which is not present unless multiple seats are being elected. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at the dissolution of Scotland's councils. This was the first election to use the STV electoral system so only net gains/losses are shown.https://ballotbox.scot/councils/stv-explained The Local STV Voting System Explained Allan Faulds Ballot Box Scotland 24 October 2022https://www.electoral-reform.org.uk/voting-systems/types-of-voting-system/single-transferable-vote/ Single Transferable Vote Electoral Reform Society 24 October 2022 Ward results Clydesdale West main Clydesdale West Clydesdale West - 4 seats 7 Scottish Labour Party Eileen Logannote Returning councillor for Carluke/Whitehill single-member ward. 2,549 33.5             Scottish National Party Ian Graynote Returning councillor for Forth single-member ward. 1,948 25.6             Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party Alex Allison 984 12.9 1,025 1,050 ??? 1,126 1,259 ???
