Boundaries

1832 to 1868

As created in 1832, the constituency covered the burgh of Aberdeen, which was previously within the Aberdeen Burghs constituency. Together with Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen was one of two constituencies covering the county of Aberdeen.

1868 to 1885

In 1868 the Aberdeenshire constituency was divided to create East Aberdeenshire and West Aberdeenshire.

In 1885, the Aberdeen constituency was divided between Aberdeen North and Aberdeen South.

Members of Parliament

Note:-
* 1 F. W. S. Craig, in his compilations of election results for Great Britain, classified Whig, Radical and similar candidates as Liberals from 1832. The name Liberal was gradually adopted as a description for the Whigs and politicians allied with them, before the formal creation of the Liberal Party shortly after the 1859 general election.
