North Tayside is a vast constituency which consists of the northern parts of the former counties of Perthshire and Angus. It has the best claim to be the successor to the former seat of Kinross and West Perthshire, which is best known for being the seat into which Sir Alec Douglas Home was parachuted after he had renounced his earldom to become Prime Minister in 1963.
This is one of the most Conservative parts of Scotland - although that is not saying much. Like its neighbour, Perth and Kinross, North Tayside is a Conservative-SNP marginal. Its colourful MP, Bill Walker, won by just under 4,000 votes in 1992. A staunch unionist, he is standing again, and must expect a very close fight indeed with the Nationalists in the forthcoming election.
