Description |
BBC Constituency Profile:
Steeped in history, the constituency of Perth and Perthshire North takes in Scone, once home of Scotland's kings and the Stone of Destiny, on which they were crowned. Framed by the Grampian Mountains in the north-west and the Firth of Tay in the south-west, the constituency includes Killiecrankie, where Jacobite rebel John Graham defeated the English in 1689 and Birnam Wood, made famous by Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Perth - once effectively Scotland's capital - is now home to Scottish and Southern Energy and Stagecoach. The seat includes the Glenshee skiing area and some of Scotland's most fertile farming land.
The former Perth and Kinross seat was won by the SNP's Roseanna Cunningham, now a Scottish minister, in a 1996 by-election prompted by the death of Conservative MP Nicholas Fairbairn. Pete Wishart won the Perth and Perthshire North seat for the SNP in 2005, holding it in 2010 by 4,379 votes.
