Angus and Perthshire Glens is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom used since the 2024 general election. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.[1] Since 2024, the seat has been held by Dave Doogan of the Scottish National Party, who was MP for the predecessor seat of Angus from 2019 to 2024.

Boundaries

As a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies of the Boundary Commission for Scotland, the constituency covers northern parts of the Perth and Kinross and Angus Council areas.[2]

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).[3][4]

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.
