Constituency Profile

The constituency includes the northern part of Aberdeen and some of its rural hinterland. The parts of the city that are included in the seat are mainly residential and made up in part by council estates such as Northfield, Mastrick and Summerhill. The rest of the seat is rural in character, apart from Dyce and Bridge of Don, as both areas are home to sizeable industrial estates.

Part of its boundary hugs the River Don and runs down along the coast past Royal Aberdeen Golf Course to the Donmouth Nature Reserve.

After a closely fought 1999 Holyrood election, the old Aberdeen North seat was won by Labour's Elaine Thomson. But the SNP's Brian Adam won the constituency at the 2003, 2007 and 2011 Holyrood elections. He died in April 2013 and the by-election that followed was won by SNP candidate Mark McDonald.
