Aberdeen Burghs was a constituency in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Having previously been a constituency in the Parliament of Great Britain, Aberdeen Burghs was created with the creation of the UK Parliament on 1 January 1801. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system until the seat was abolished for the 1832 general election.

Boundaries

The constituency consisted of the burgh of Aberdeen in the County of Aberdeen, the burgh of Inverbervie in the County of Kincardine, and the burghs of Arbroath, Brechin and Montrose in the County of Forfar.

History

In 1832 the constituency was divided between the new constituencies of Aberdeen and Montrose Burghs. The Aberdeen constituency covered the burgh of Aberdeen, while Montrose Burghs covered the other burghs plus the burgh of Forfar, which was previously a component of the Perth Burghs constituency.
