Boundaries
The constituency covers the Angus council area, minus an area round the Dundee City council area, which is divided between the Dundee East and Dundee West constituencies.
Until the 2005 general election, it covered the south-east of the Angus council area, north-eastern and north-western areas of the Dundee City council area, and a small eastern portion of the Perth and Kinross council area. The north-west of the Angus council area was within the North Tayside constituency.
Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the older boundaries.
Major towns in the House of Commons constituency are Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar, Kirriemuir and Montrose.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
