The constituency of Dunrossness South first began electing in 1890 for the County Council until 1974, when the County Council merged with the Town Council to form the Shetland Islands Council. Following this, Dunrossness South simply became Dunrossness for the 1974 election, however for the following election in 1978 it was returned to the Dunrossness South boundaries and remained so until 1999 when it once again became Dunrossness.
