Boundaries

As a result of the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies of the Boundary Commission for Scotland, the constituency covers northern parts of the Perth and Kinross and Angus Council areas.^[3]

It comprises the following:

• In full: the Angus Council wards of Brechin and Edzell, Forfar and District, Kirriemuir and Dean, and Montrose and District; and the Perth and Kinross Council wards of Blairgowrie and Glens, and Highland.
• In part: the Angus Council ward of Monifieth and Sidlaw (to the west of the A90); and the Perth and Kinross wards of Strathmore (except for the Scone and District community council), and Strathtay (except Almondbank and surrounding communities).^[4][5]

The boundaries are very similar to the old North Tayside parliamentary constituency, which was a safe Conservative seat from its creation at the 1983 general election until being won by the SNP in 1997.
