Scottish Westminster Constituencies - 1974 To 1983

1974 To 1983

The results of the Second Periodical Review, concluded in 1969, and of a subsequent interim review, concluded in 1972, became effective for the February 1974 general election.

The reviews defined 29 burgh constituencies and 42 county constituencies, with each electing one MP. Therefore Scotland had 71 parliamentary seats.

Each constituency was entirely within a county or a grouping of two or three counties.

February 1974 boundaries were used also in the October 1974 and 1979 general elections.
