The incumbent member is Alison Thewliss of the Scottish National Party. == Boundaries == 1885-1918: The Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Municipal Wards.〔Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, Sixth Schedule〕 1918-1945: "That portion of the city which is bounded by a line commencing at a point at the intersection of the centre lines of Parliamentary Road and Castle Street, thence southward along the centre line of Castle Street to the centre line of Alexandra Parade, thence eastward along the centre line of Alexandra Parade to the centre line of Firpark Street, thence southward along the centre line of Firpark Street and Ark Lane to the centre line of Duke Street, thence westward along the centre line of Duke Street to the centre line of Sydney Street, thence southward along the centre line of Sydney Street to the centre line of Gallowgate, thence westward along the centre line of Gallowgate to the centre line of Saltmarket, thence southward along the centre line of Saltmarket and Albert Bridge to the centre line of the River Clyde, thence westward along the centre line of the River Clyde to a point in line with the centre line of McAlpine Street, thence northward along the centre line of McAlpine Street, Pitt Street and Scott Street to the centre line of New City Road, thence south-eastward along the centre line of New City Road and Cowcaddens to the centre line of Buchanan Street, thence southward along the centre line of Buchanan Street to the centre line of Parliamentary Road, thence north-eastward along the centre line of Parliamentary Road to the point of commencement." 1945-1974: The Glasgow wards of Cowcaddens, Townhead, and part of Exchange. 1974-1983: The Glasgow wards of Calton, Dalmarnock, Exchange, and Townhead. 1983-1997: The City of Glasgow District electoral divisions of Central/Calton, Kingston/Hutchesontown, and Queen's Park/Crosshill. 2005-present: The Glasgow City Council wards of Kelvingrove, Anderston, Merchant City, Calton, Bridgeton/Dalmarnock, Kingston, Pollokshields East, Hutchesontown, Govanhill, Strathbungo, and Toryglen.
