The party's membership has dropped from 11,000 in 2020 to less than 7,000 this year.
The number of Scottish Tory members has dropped by more than a third in just four years. The party's membership has gone from 11,000 in 2020 to less than 7,000 this year.
This was down from 10,911 - a drop of 36.4 per cent - when Jackson Carlaw was elected leader in 2020. It comes after the Scottish Tory vote more than halved at the general election despite the party only losing one MP. July's general election was disastrous for the Scottish Tories as their vote tanked and outgoing leader Douglas Ross was beaten by the SNP.
