Can I propose we move this page to Combined Scottish Universities (constituency) and add a bit on the page itself and any interesting historical bits - similar to the Queen's University, Belfast (constituency) page. If no-one has any objections I'll moved it after a week. Timrollpickering 21:47, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Absolutely, charge right ahead. DJR 12.33, 25 Nov 2004 (GMT)

Lay on, Macduff... (Is there any interesting historical trivia? I'd love to see it) Shimgray 17:49, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

On consideration: I assume the eventual aim is to have articles on every constituency there has ever been (WikiProject Parliament?). In some cases, the lists of MPs will be very long, and would probably be better on a separate page. In the interests of consistency, then, mightn't it be better for the information about the constituency itself to be at X (constituency) and the list of members to be at Member of Parliament for X, with links between the two pages? Or is that needlessly spreading the information about? Donald (Opera hat) 16.15, 28 Nov 2004 (GMT)

A lot of seats have been through many name changes and so the lists wouldn't be that long - I think most would fit onto a single page. A few multi member seats might prove tricky, though here there weren't that many. Timrollpickering 17:00, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
