Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine

Electoral region

The other nine constituencies of the North East Scotland region are: Aberdeen Central, Aberdeen Donside, Aberdeenshire East, Aberdeenshire West, Angus North and Mearns, Angus South, Banffshire and Buchan Coast, Dundee City East and Dundee City West.

Constituency boundaries and council area

For the first election to the Scottish Parliament, the constituencies used were the same as those already in existence for the House of Commons. For the 2005 general election, the boundaries of the House of Commons constituencies were subject to some alteration, and so these constituencies and those for the Scottish Parliament diverged. There is no longer any link between the two sets of boundaries. Following the first periodic review of parliamentary constituencies to the Scottish Parliament, the Boundary Commission for Scotland created newly shaped seats for the Aberdeen City council area and Aberdeenshire, which were first used at the 2011 Election.

Aberdeen City is divided between three Scottish Parliament constituencies: Aberdeen Central, Aberdeen Donside and Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine. Central and Donside are entirely within the city area, while Deeside and North Kincardine also takes in North Kincardine in the Aberdeenshire council area. The remainder of Aberdeenshire is represented by four further constituencies in the Scottish Parliament: Aberdeenshire East, Aberdeenshire West, Angus North and Mearns and Banffshire and Buchan Coast.

The seat is formed of the following wards of Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire Council:

• In Aberdeen:
  • Lower Deeside (entire ward)
  • Kincorth/Nigg/Cove (entire ward)
  • Hazlehead/Queens Cross/Countesswells (shared with Aberdeen Central)
  • Airyhall/Broomhill/Garthdee Ward (shared with Aberdeen Central)
  • Torry/Ferryhill wards (shared with Aberdeen Central)
• Aberdeenshire:
  • North Kincardine Ward (entire ward)
