Council areas: Angus
EP constituency: Scotland

Angus is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster). It was created for the 1997 general election, largely replacing East Angus. It is now a marginal seat between the Scottish National Party and the Conservatives. As a result of boundary changes for the 2005 general election, boundaries are now quite different from those of the Angus Scottish Parliament constituency, which was created in 1999.

Boundaries

The constituency covers the Angus council area, minus an area round the Dundee City council area, which is divided between the Dundee East and Dundee West constituencies.

Until the 2005 general election, it covered the south-east of the Angus council area, north-eastern and north-western areas of the Dundee City council area, and a small eastern portion of the Perth and Kinross council area. The north-west of the Angus council area was within the North Tayside constituency.

Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the older boundaries.

Major towns in the House of Commons constituency are Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar and Montrose.
