- 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:
“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)
“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)
“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)
