Clydebank and Milngavie (Scottish Parliament constituency)

Clydebank and Milngavie (Gaelic: Bruach Chluaidh agus Muileann-Ghaidh) is a burgh constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering part of the council areas of East Dunbartonshire and West Dunbartonshire. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, it elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. It is also one of ten constituencies in the West Scotland electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the ten constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.

The current member is Marie McNair of the Scottish National Party (SNP), who has held the seat since the 2021 Scottish Parliament election.

Electoral region

The other nine constituencies of the West Scotland region are: Cunninghame North, Cunninghame South, Dumbarton, Eastwood, Inverclyde, Paisley, Renfrewshire North and Cardonald, Renfrewshire West and Levern Valley, and Strathkelvin and Bearsden. The region covers the whole of the council areas of East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, Renfrewshire, and West Dunbartonshire; and parts of the council areas of Argyll and Bute, East Ayrshire, and Glasgow.

Constituency boundaries and council area

The rest of East Dunbartonshire is covered by the Strathkelvin and Bearsden constituency; the rest of West Dunbartonshire is covered by the Dumbarton constituency.

The Clydebank and Milngavie constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in 1999, with the name and boundaries of the existing Clydebank and Milngavie UK Parliament constituency. Ahead of the 2005 United Kingdom general election the House of Commons constituencies in Scotland were altered, whilst the existing Scottish Parliament constituencies were retained. There is now longer any link between the two sets of boundaries. The constituency boundaries were reviewed and altered ahead of the 2011 Scottish Parliament election. In 2025, ahead of the 2026 Scottish Parliament election, a further review was undertaken: a very minor boundary change was made in the Old Kilpatrick area where the constituency borders the Dumbarton constituency in order to align constituency and ward boundaries.

The electoral wards of East Dunbartonshire Council and West Dunbartonshire Council used in the current creation of Clydebank and Milngavie are:
