Boundaries edit
As a result of the Sixth Periodical Review of the Boundary Commission for Scotland, the constituency will cover northern parts of the Perth and Kinross and Angus Council areas.[2]
It includes the Highland, Strathtay, Strathmore, and Blairgowrie & Glens wards from Perth and Kinross; and the Brechin & Edzell, Montrose & District, Forfar & District, and Kirriemuir & Dean wards from Angus.[3] It also includes northern suburbs of Dundee like Bridgefoot and Birkhill.
The boundaries are very similar to the old North Tayside parliamentary constituency, which was a safe Conservative seat from its creation at the 1983 United Kingdom general election until being won by the SNP in 1997.
