Key Context

  • Constituency: Scotland was a single multi-member constituency (6 seats) under D'Hondt PR.
  • Edinburgh: Not a separate constituency; part of Scotland region. MEPs represented all of Scotland.
  • Brexit impact: UK lost 73 MEPs; Scotland's pro-EU vote (62% Remain) fueled independence debate.
  • Current representation: Scotland elects MPs to Westminster (57 seats) and MSPs to Holyrood (129 seats). No EU representation.

If You Need EU Representation Now

Contact your UK MP (Westminster) or MSP (Holyrood) for devolved matters. For EU policy questions, the UK government engages via diplomatic channels, not MEPs.

The 2019–2020 cohort was Scotland's last voice in the European Parliament.
