The Glasgow wards of Firhill, Hillhead, Hyndland, Kelvindale, Maryhill, North Kelvin, Partick, Summerston, Woodlands, and Wyndford.

Glasgow North is one of six constituencies covering the Glasgow City council area. All are entirely within the council area.

Prior to the 2005 general election, the city area was covered by ten constituencies, of which two straddled boundaries with other council areas. The North constituency includes most of the former Glasgow Maryhill constituency, central sections of the former Glasgow Kelvin constituency and a Kelvindale area from the former Glasgow Anniesland constituency. [2] Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the names and boundaries of the older Westminster constituencies.

The Glasgow North constituency has the University of Glasgow within its boundaries, and stretches out through Kelvindale to the large Summerston housing development. The largest element of the seat, in terms of former constituency boundaries, came from the Maryhill constituency, which was a mainly working class seat. The Glasgow North seat also included the more middle class areas of Hillhead, Hyndland and Kelvindale.
