Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created for the 2005 general election, replacing Cumbernauld and Kilsyth and part of Strathkelvin and Bearsden.
The constituency covers the north of the North Lanarkshire council area, and small eastern and northern part of the East Dunbartonshire council area. Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies the Boundary Commission for Scotland recommended new boundaries for the constituency and for it to be renamed from Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East, despite the fact that the constituency under the new boundaries still contains Kilsyth and only covers the eastern half of Kirkintilloch.[1]
The new town of Cumbernauld is approximately 15 miles north-east of Glasgow. This constituency brings together areas from North Lanarkshire and East Dunbartonshire councils. The western, mostly rural, areas including Lennoxtown, Milton of Campsie, Twechar and the Campsie hills are joined in the east and south by the eastern wards from Kirkintilloch and the entire towns of Cumbernauld and Kilsyth. These two latter areas formed one constituency prior to the 2000 review.
2005–2024: The East Dunbartonshire Council wards of Bishopbriggs North and Campsie (part), Kirkintilloch East and North and Twechar (part), Lenzie and Kirkintilloch South (part), and the North Lanarkshire Council wards of Cumbernauld East, Cumbernauld North, Cumbernauld South, and Kilsyth.
2024–present: The East Dunbartonshire Council wards of Lenzie and Kirkintilloch South (part) and Kirkintilloch East and North and Twechar, and the North Lanarkshire Council wards of Kilsyth, Cumbernauld North, Cumbernauld South, Cumbernauld East, and Stepps, Chryston & Muirhead.
