West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine is a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Westminster), which elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. It was first used in the 1997 general election, but has undergone boundary changes since that date. West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine was re-created as a parliamentary constituency in 1997, having previously existed as Kincardine and Western Aberdeenshire from 1918 to 1950.
There was also a Holyrood constituency of West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine, a constituency of the Scottish Parliament,[1] created in 1999 with the same boundaries as the Westminster constituency at that time.
