Angus South (Gaelic: Aonghas a Deas) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) covering part of the council area of Angus. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. In addition, 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 seat was created for the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and covers areas that were formerly in the seats of Angus and Tayside North, both of which were abolished.[2] It has been held since creation by Graeme Dey of the Scottish National Party.
