Again AMS presents a good solution. Everybody gets their own FPTP MP, representing a constituency 50-100% larger than now (and potentially no bigger at all if you increase the number of MPs a bit), and then you have a pool of party list members. The way these work across relatively small regions in Scotland means that effectively you have your own MSP to contact, and then probably a regional MSP from your preferred party to contact if you get no joy from them.
You've explained that better than I did! That's exactly what I meant and is the main reason I find AMS the most preferable of the proportional systems out there.
Another option would be Mixed Member Majoritarian sometimes termed 'parallel' voting. It's exactly like AMS but the additional members or lists seats are entirely seperate, the FPTP are not taken into consideration when allocating the list seats.
Consequently it is less proportional than AMS but you at least still have better representation for smaller parties.
