| 2005 to present |
The results of the Fifth Periodical Review became effective in Scotland for the 2005 general election.
The review defined 19 burgh constituencies and 40 county constituencies, with each electing one MP. Therefore Scotland has 59 parliamentary seats.
Each constituency is entirely within a council area or a grouping of two or three council areas.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
