Constituency Boundaries
The Glasgow Pollok 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 Scottish Parliament constituency is entirely within the Glasgow City council area, on its south-western boundary. It is south of the Govan constituency and west of the Cathcart constituency. Cathcart and Govan are also entirely within the city area.
