Renamed Dundee City West for the 2011 elections, the electoral wards used in the newly shaped constituency are:
- In full: Strathmartine, Lochee, West End
- In part: Coldside, Maryfield, North East
Council area
The Holyrood constituency was within the Dundee City council area, which was divided between three North East Scotland constituencies. Dundee West and Dundee East were within the city area. The Angus constituency covered north-eastern and north-western areas of the city, as well as a southern portion of the Angus council area and a small eastern portion of the Perth and Kinross council area.
