Former Aberdeen Council Deputy Leader Kevin Stewart nudged into first place in 2011, ending Lewis Macdonald’s 12 year hold on this seat, despite a major boost to the Labour vote. Lewis had the consolation of being elected an MSP through the regional list.

Notes: Given boundary changes since 2007, variations in votes and share between seats with different boundaries would be misleading. We use the Denver figures, essentially a calculation of the 2007 votes cast within 2011 boundaries. More information on this here.
