Glasgow Garscadden (UK Parliament constituency)

Glasgow Garscadden was a burgh constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1974 until 1997. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) using the first-past-the-post voting system.

Boundaries
This constituency comprised the north western periphery of the City of Glasgow.

In 1974 Garscadden was defined as comprising the Knightswood and Yoker wards of Glasgow. Before the redistribution these areas had been part of the Glasgow Scotstoun constituency.

In the 1983 redistribution the seat was only changed slightly. The whole of the old Garscadden formed 98.5% of the new constituency. A small area, further in towards the city centre, was detached from the pre-1983 Glasgow Hillhead and contributed the remaining 1.5% of the new Garscadden's electorate.

In terms of City of Glasgow electoral divisions the 1983 seat was defined as 9 (Drumry/Summerhill), 10 (Blairdardie/Knightscliffe), and 11 (Yoker/Knightswood).
