Updated Map

Maps that have been updated since first being added to the site.

NEW FOR THIS EDITION – Updated for the local by-elections that have occured since the last edition of this map was published on 2 Feb 2020, with knowledge seed branches added for all the newly elected councillors (those of the predecessors are retained as sub-branches for reference). Quite a few of elections were scheduled from March to mid May, however only the earliest one took place as planned before the Coronoavirus Crisis caused the postponement of the others. The re-scheduled dates (where set) are in October & November this year, but it will depend on the public health guidance issued by the Scottish Government closer to the time as to whether they will go ahead as planned. Either way, we anticipate that it will be a wee while before we publish another update of this map.

There are 59 Scottish members (‘MP’s’) of the United Kingdom Parliament at Westminster out of a total of 650, elected every 5 years or so (very roughly speaking). Though these politicians fundamentally affect our lives on a day-to-day basis through supporting their party’s policies, and their participation in, and oversight of, government and the essential services that keep the nation going, it’s difficult to get the big picture AND the detail, AND how both have changed over time, in the one source. This first ever political knowledge atlas of the members & constituencies of the UK Parliament in Scotland helps solve that problem.

Scotland has 59 out of the total 650 consituencies that make up the United Kingdom Parliament at Westminster, to which a single member (‘MP’) is elected every 5 years or so (very roughly speaking). Obviously this is a political process with an unpredictable outcome, but this map is about visually connecting the general, geographic & electoral knowledge resources about the consituency that remain valid no matter who is currently elected.
