The Scottish Parliament constituency boundaries are changing. The new constituency and regional boundaries will be effective at the next Scottish Parliament general election on 7 May 2026.
The Scottish Parliament has 73 constituencies and eight regions. The numbers of constituencies and regions are not changing. Of the current 73 constituencies, 42 will change boundaries, three will change in name only, and 28 will not change. Of the current eight regions, only Mid Scotland and Fife remains unchanged. Five regions will have mainly minor boundary changes, and two will have boundary changes as well as new names.
The current Midlothian North and Musselburgh constituency in the Lothian region. It will be in the new Midlothian North constituency in the Edinburgh and Lothians East region.
As a consequence Newtongrange has moved into a different Scottish Parliament constituency as it is now in Midlothian North.
