Constituency Profile

Since boundary changes, the constituency no longer follows a path eastward from just south of the Buck via Lumsden, Westhill and Peterculter to the coast at Hareness. It now stretches north bringing in Huntly and a chunk of the A96.

The seat still features the Grampian Mountains in Royal Deeside and the 49,000 acre Balmoral estate – holiday home to the Royal family. The rural areas hold many farming communities and the River Dee provides some of the finest salmon fishing in the country.

The Liberal Democrats' Mike Rumbles won the seat at the 1999 Scottish election and again in 2003 and 2007, before losing it to the SNP’s Dennis Robertson in 2011.
