Angus was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (at Westminster). It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post voting system. It was represented by Dave Doogan of the Scottish National Party who had been the MP since 2019 until 2024.
It was created for the 1997 general election, largely replacing East Angus.[1] As a result of boundary changes for the 2005 general election, the boundaries became quite different from those of the Angus Scottish Parliament constituency, which was created in 1999 and abolished in 2011.
The constituency was dominated by farmland, and included the towns of Arbroath, Montrose, Brechin and Forfar.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat was subject to boundary changes which entailed expansion into northern parts of the Perth and Kinross council, partly offset by the loss of Arbroath and surrounding areas. As a consequence, it was renamed Angus and Perthshire Glens, and first contested at the 2024 general election.[2]
