Scotland constitutes a single constituency of the European Parliament. In 2014 it elected six MEPs, using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.
The constituency's boundaries are the same as those of Scotland, one of the four countries of the United Kingdom.
The constituency was formed as a result of the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1999, replacing a number of single-member constituencies. These were Glasgow, Highlands and Islands, Lothians, Mid Scotland and Fife, North East Scotland, South of Scotland, Strathclyde East, and Strathclyde West, however with the United Kingdom vote to leave the European Union in 2016 means that this constituency will be abolished when the exit process (Article 50) is completed.
