The large majority of the seats were held by independent candidates, similar to other predominantly rural Scottish councils. The Scottish National Party and Scottish Labour Party had a small representation each, and the Scottish Liberal Democrats stood four candidates, all of whom were unsuccessful.
†On 25 November 2011 John A. MacIver joined the Scottish National Party and ceased to be an Independent.
