Glasgow (UK Parliament constituency)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clyde Burghs, representing the burghs along the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde, was a district of burghs constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1708 to 1801 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801 to 1832.
The Clyde Burghs constituency comprised the parliamentary burghs of Dumbarton, Glasgow, Renfrew and Rutherglen.
When the district of burghs constituency was abolished in 1832 the Glasgow parliamentary burgh was merged into the then new two-member city of Glasgow constituency. The Dumbarton, Renfrew and Rutherglen burghs were combined with Kilmarnock burgh and Port Glasgow burgh in the then new Kilmarnock Burghs constituency.
Representation in the Glasgow constituency was increased to three members in 1868, with the constituency finally divided, in 1885, into the seven constituencies of:
- Glasgow Blackfriars and Hutchesontown
- Glasgow Bridgeton
- Glasgow Camlachie
- Glasgow College
- Glasgow Central
- Glasgow St Rollox
- Glasgow Tradeston
