Predominantly consisting of the former Banff & Buchan seat but also bringing in parts of Moray and Gordon, this area is rock solid SNP territory, with the party winning a 50+% share of the vote in 2007 and in 2011. Former Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson held the seat, increasing his vote share and majority while the Liberal Democrats lost their deposit.
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.
