Until the United Kingdom general election of 2005 the first past the postconstituencies were the same as for the House of Commons (United Kingdom Parliament, Westminster) (apart from Orkney and Shetland, which were separate constituencies at Holyrood, but not at Westminster).
The ScottishParliament (Constituencies) Act 2004 enabled a new set of House of Commons constituencies to be formed in Scotland in 2005, reducing their number and, therefore, the number of Scottish Members of Parliament (MPs) to 59, without change to the Holyrood constituencies and the number of MSPs.
East Dunbartonshire is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
It was created for the 2005 general election, replacing most of Strathkelvin and Bearsden and some of Clydebank and Milngavie and Coatbridge and Chryston (note that these boundaries still exist for ScottishParliament elections).
A constituency of the same name existed from 1950 until 1983, details of which can be found at Dunbartonshire (UK Parliamentconstituency).
