- Historic boundaries
When initially created in 1918 the constituency was defined as the whole of the Municipal Borough of Scarborough, the Urban Districts of Pickering, Scalby and Whitby, the Rural Districts of Scarborough and Whitby. It also included parts of two Rural Districts. Nine out of the eleven parishes within Pickering Rural District were included, namely Allerston, Ebberston, Kingthorpe, Levisham, Lockton, Marishes, Newton, Thornton Dale, and Wilton. Three of the nine parishes within Guisborough Rural District were also included: Commondale, Danby and Westerdale. As from 1950, the constituency was defined as the Municipal Borough of Scarborough, the Urban Districts of Pickering, Scalby and Whitby, the Rural Districts of Scarborough and Whitby.
The constituency in 1997 was defined as the following wards of the Borough of Scarborough: Ayton, Castle, Cayton, Central, Danby, Derwent, Eastfield, Eskdaleside, Falsgrave, Fylingdales, Lindhead, Mayfield, Mulgrave, Newby, Northstead, Scalby, Seamer, Streonshalh, Weaponness, and Woodlands (all of Scarborough Borough except the wards of Filey and Hertford, this is by coincidence or design that part of SBC that used to be in the North Riding).
Parliament accepted the Boundary Commission's Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies which made no changes for the General Election 2010 since which it has electoral wards:
- Castle, Cayton, Central, Danby, Derwent Valley, Eastfield, Esk Valley, Falsgrave Park, Fylingdales, Lindhead, Mayfield, Mulgrave, Newby, North Bay, Northstead, Ramshill, Scalby Hackness and Staintondale, Seamer, Stepney, Streonshalh, Weaponness, Whitby West Cliff, and Woodlands in the Borough of Scarborough

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“Whereas the Greeks gave to will the boundaries of reason, we have come to put the will’s impulse in the very center of reason, which has, as a result, become deadly.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“It is the story-teller’s task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
