Constituency Profile

The seat stretches down to Portlethen, hugging the coast, and following the A90, to just south of Blackhill. It contains Aberdeen's southern suburbs and is rural in character. The southern part of the city contains many of its more affluent areas and also the suburbs of Peterculter, Bieldside and Milltimber. There are also large council estates within the seat such as those at Kincorth and Garthdee.

The main employer here is the oil industry and its related services. The wealth generated by North Sea oil and gas production has resulted in some of Scotland's highest house prices. But in recent times an estimated 65,000 oil and gas industry jobs have been lost in the UK.

When the Aberdeen South seat was created in 1999 it was won by the Liberal Democrats' Nicol Stephen, who held it in 2003 and 2007. It was taken by Maureen Watt for the SNP in 2011.
