Boundaries Of Parliamentary Constituencies 1885-1972 '' (ISBN 0-900178-09-4), F. W. S. Craig 1972
The same boundaries were used in the
1922 General Election , the
1923 General Election , the
1924 General Election , the
1929 General Election , the
1931 General Election , the
1935 General Election and the
1945 General Election .
Prior to the 1918 boundary reforms, the county of Aberdeen had been covered, nominally, by the four consituencies of East Aberdeenshire,
West Aberdeenshire , Aberdeen North, and Aberdeen South, and the county of Kincardine had been covered, nominally, by the
Kincardineshire constituency. This arrangement dated from 1885, however, and predated both the redefinition of counties as
Local Government areas, under the
Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889 , and the creation of the
City of Aberdeen in 1900. 1918 constituency boundaries took account of new local government boundaries.
New constituency boundaries were drawn for the
1950 General Election . Aberdeen and Kincardine Central was abolished and its area was divided between the new constituency of
North Angus And Mearns and a new West Aberdeenshire. North Angus and Mearns was created to cover the county of Kincardine and part of the
County Of Angus . The new West Aberdeenshire was entirely within the county of Aberdeen, but boundaries differed from those of the earlier constituency of that name. The county of Aberdeen was then otherwise covered by East Aberdeenshire, and the city of Aberdeen was again covered by Aberdeen North and Aberdeen South.
