Kayleigh Kinross-O’Neill MSP

Kayleigh Kinross-O’Neill is a Scottish Greens MSP for Edinburgh and Lothians East, elected in May 2026.

Here is Kayleigh’s statement as a candidate in the Holyrood 2026 elections:

Originally from Motherwell, Kayleigh moved to Edinburgh for university and later worked for Euan’s Guide and Inclusion Scotland. Since being elected she has been the Green Councillor Group’s Transport spokesperson, while also working part-time for Lorna Slater MSP in the Scottish Parliament.

Kayleigh is a strong advocate for better accessibility, stronger engagement, and greener values. She is vocal on issues of pavement parking, dropped curb access, and other barriers that disabled and elderly people face in their daily life.

As an MSP, Kayleigh brings her experience of representing people who are struggling with housing issues, health problems, financial difficulties, access needs, and barriers to multiple areas of society to the Scottish Parliament. She is standing in this election in order to push further against the rise of the far right and the divisive politics they represent.
