Boundaries

Map of current boundaries

The Glasgow City wards of Cardonald, Crookston, Darnley, Drumoyne, Govan, Ibrox, Mosspark, Nitshill, North Cardonald, Penilee, and Pollok.

The seat is one of seven covering the Glasgow City council area; none have overspill.

Before the 2005 general election the city was covered by ten constituencies, of which two straddled boundaries with other council areas. The area's representatives before its inception were those for Glasgow Pollok and to a lesser extent Glasgow Govan.[2]

Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the names and boundaries of the immediate forebear seats.
