Aberdeen North occupies the northern part of Aberdeen and lies wholly within Aberdeen City Council. The constituency includes Dyce, Bucksburn and Danestone, Bridge of Don, Kingswells and Sheddocksley, Northfield and Mastrick, Hilton and Woodside, Tillydrone, Seaton and Old Aberdeen, together with most of Midstocket/Rosemount. The River Don runs through several of these northern neighbourhoods, while Aberdeen International Airport lies at Dyce near the constituency’s northern edge. The area ranges from established inner-city and suburban neighbourhoods to lower-density development toward the city boundary. Aberdeen City Council’s North locality also highlights extensive green space and major facilities in the north of the city, giving the constituency a varied urban form rather than a single continuous town-centre character.
Election data comes from UK Parliament. Turnout percentage is calculated by Project Open Gov from Parliament's turnout and electorate figures.

Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
53,829 householdsCensus 2022
One-person households41.3% · 22,234 households
Families with dependent children23.2% · 12,473 households
Other single-family households32.2% · 17,315 households
Other household types3.4% · 1,807 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
111,947 people in the source baseCensus 2022Source comparison: Scotland
Day-to-day activities limited a lot9.3% · 10,362 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little12.9% · 14,415 people
Non-disabled77.9% · 87,170 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

A Mustard Seed From A House Untouched By Death
Grant to Individual
£14,526
Creative Scotland · Arts
About this award
This project will support the development and WIP sharing of my debut play, A Mustard Seed From A House Untouched By Death, which follows the transformative journey of a grieving woman tasked with completing the impossible - to undo death. Directed by Annabel Lunney, the play will be created over the summer of 2026 with support from WayWORD Festival and Aberdeen Archives, Gallery and Museums with whom it will debut in October. Alongside this final sharing, the aim for this project is to support a period of script development with a dramaturg, a period of research and development with a director, rehearsals with a musician and a creative engagement call-out to offer micro-commissions to three North-East based writer-performers. Ultimately, A Mustard Seed From A House Untouched By Death will weave together my words with original storytelling extracts from these three commissioned artists who will each build the worlds of the households the woman visits across her journey.
