Angus South is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood). It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. In addition, it is one of nine constituencies in the North East Scotland electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.

Constituency boundaries and council areas

The Angus constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in 1999, with the same name and boundaries as the then-existing Westminster constituency. In 2005, however, the boundaries of the Westminster (House of Commons) constituency, as with all other Westminster constituencies in Scotland, were subject to major alterations.
