Gordon and Buchan is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. [1] Following the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election. It has been represented since 2024 by Conservative Harriet Cross; she defeated the SNP's Richard Thomson, who was MP for the predecessor constituency of Gordon from 2019 to 2024.
The constituency name refers to the former Scottish districts of Gordon and Buchan.
The constituency comprises the following wards or part wards of Aberdeenshire Council: [2] [3]
1 The boundary within these wards is equivalent to the boundary between the former Gordon constituency and the unchanged West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine constituency.
The seat is made up of those parts of the abolished constituency of Gordon which were in Aberdeenshire Council plus a minority of the abolished Banff and Buchan constituency (inland areas including Turriff). [4]
