# Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn (Scottish Parliament constituency)

Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn (Gaelic: Glaschu Cnoc Màiri agus Allt an Fhuarain) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood), being one of eight constituencies within the Glasgow City council area. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. It is also one of nine constituencies in the Glasgow electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The constituency was created in 2011 from a merger of parts of the Glasgow Maryhill, Glasgow Springburn and a small part of the Glasgow Anniesland constituencies. The parts of Glasgow Anniesland were Kelvindale and Kelvinside, that had previously been in Glasgow Hillhead before 1997.
The seat has been held by Bob Doris of the Scottish National Party since the 2016 Scottish Parliament election.
