Constituency Profile

As Europe's oil capital, the off-shore industry dominates the economy of the seat. The city was Scotland's largest fishing port in the 19th century, but the harbour is now largely used to service the vessels of North Sea oil production. In recent times an estimated 65,000 oil and gas industry jobs have been lost in the UK, impacting dramatically on the area.

The residential areas are varied in character and contain some of the city's most affluent districts, such as Rubislaw, but also more working class areas including Woodside, St Machar, Linksfield and Causewayend. The seat also holds the city centre, old town, university and the local football stadium.

Labour's Lewis Macdonald won the seat at three elections, 1999, 2003 and 2007, but Kevin Stewart won it for the SNP in 2011.
