Constituency Profile

The constituency is situated on the north-western outskirts of Glasgow, stretching from Drumchapel on the western boundary with Clydebank to Whiteinch on the River Clyde.

The public housing estate of Drumchapel is an area of multiple social problems and economic deprivation, which has undergone some regeneration. Although the BAE shipyard at Scotstoun is found in the constituency, Anniesland is more residential than industrial seat. One of the top secondaries in Scotland is in this constituency, Jordanhill College.

This Holyrood seat was held by First Minister and Labour leader Donald Dewar before his sudden death in 2000. Mr Dewar had been a politician in the area since 1978. Labour’s Bill Butler won the by-election to Holyrood following the death of Mr Dewar. He retained it at the 2003 and 2007 Holyrood elections. In 2011 Bill Kidd won the seat by seven votes for the SNP.
