Former First Minister Jack McConnell has been speaking on BBC News Channel.
"This has been coming for a long time," he said. "All the unionist parties have been losing this for a number of years now, and not responding to the cross class politics of the 21st Century.
"To suggest the SNP has won all these constituencies in the Conservative heartlands of Scotland is because they're left wing is not true.
"It's been a catastrophic night for the Labour party in Scotland and one they need to learn from and quickly."
Mr McConnell said Labour had the wrong approach to UKIP and should instead "take them on on values, British values".
"Don't let this bunch of cranks with their wacky ideas dominate the agenda as they've done in the past few years."
He called for a huge debate inside his party: "Labour party has only won three convincing GE victories since 1966, all under Tony Blair. We need to be appealing across a wider range of people across the whole of the UK if we're to be back in power again."
High profile Liberal Democrats have lost three strongholds in the Highlands and Islands to the SNP.

The SNP's Angus MacNeil held his seat in Na h-Eileanan an Iar - which covers the Western Isles - with 54% of the votes.
Charles Kennedy was one of the leading Lib Dem figures to lose out

Mhairi Black, of the Scottish National Party, has become the youngest MP elected in the UK for 350 years.
The 20-year-old now represents the constituency of Paisley and Renfrewshire South, outside Glasgow.
The law was changed in 2006, lowering the minimum age of parliamentary candidates from 21 to 18.

A change of this magnitude has not been previously seen in Scotland in a single election.

Newsnight policy editor Chris Cook, pointing out that some Conservative manifesto promises were "assumed to have been included as bargaining chips for coalition negotiation", wonders which will survive.
"The Tory approach to Scotland is another big unknown. With only one seat in the country, how would a Tory single-party government deal with it? There is an odd wrinkle in this: full fiscal autonomy."
He adds: "And, the Tories might calculate, having to impose a bit of local austerity, just as the rest of Britain gets spending growth, might finally knock the wind out of the SNP."
David Cameron says he hopes to govern for all of the UK as a BBC forecast gives the Tories 329 seats - enough to form a slender majority in the Commons.
"My aim remains simple - to govern on the basis of governing for everyone in our United Kingdom," he said.
"I want to bring our country together, our United Kingdom together, not least by implementing as fast as we can the devolution that we rightly promised and came together with other parties to agree both for Wales and for Scotland."
