Constituency Profile

At the heart of this seat is Brechin – a town with a cathedral. The structure has a round tower and contains medieval features from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Three key towns in this seat came from three different constituencies – Stonehaven used to be in Aberdeenshire and Kincardine, Montrose used to be in Angus and Forfar used to be in North Tayside. The Scottish coastal resort of Montrose is about 40 miles north of Dundee between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. The town has a wealth of history and remains an important commercial port for the oil and gas industry.

The SNP’s Andrew Welsh represented Angus in the Scottish Parliament since the first Holyrood election in 1999, until 2011, when Nigel Don became the party’s successful candidate.
