Have your say on proposed Scottish Parliament constituency changes

Boundaries Scotland have launched a public consultation on revised proposals for changes to Scottish Parliament constituency boundaries.

The review of constituencies will cover the 70 mainland constituencies. The constituencies of Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands are protected in legislation. The overall number of MSPs (129) is fixed in legislation and will not change as a result of this review.

Boundaries Scotland have taken into consideration previous consultation responses and the outcome of local inquiries in December 2023 and January 2024, and have developed these provisional proposals as a result:

  • 22 constituencies are unchanged
  • 18 constituencies have changes to boundaries but retain their names
  • 3 constituencies have changes to their names but retain their boundaries
  • 30 constituencies have both new names and new boundaries

The consultation is open until 15 May 2024 and you can submit your responses online here.
