Aberdeen South and North Kincardine (Gaelic: Obar Dheathain a Deas agus Ceann Chàrdainn a Tuath) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) covering part of the Aberdeen City council area and Aberdeenshire. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. It is one of ten constituencies in the North East Scotland electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the ten constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The constituency was created for 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and combines most of the former Aberdeen South seat along with part of Aberdeenshire that was formerly in Aberdeenshire West.[2] It has been held by Audrey Nicoll of the Scottish National Party since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.
