Constituency Boundaries
The current Glasgow Cathcart constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in 1999, with the name and boundaries of an existing Westminster constituency. In 2005, however, Scottish Westminster (House of Commons) constituencies were mostly replaced with new constituencies.
The Holyrood constituency is entirely within the Glasgow City council area, on the area's southern boundary. It is east of the Pollok constituency, south of Govan and Shettleston and west of Rutherglen.
Glasgow Cathcart also has boundaries with the East Kilbride constituency, which is in the Central Scotland electoral region, and with the Eastwood constituency, which is in the West of Scotland region.
