Eastwood District 1975-96

Eastwood was formerly (1975-96) a local government district in the Strathclyde Region of Scotland, lying south-west of the City of Glasgow. In 1996 it was included in the (only slightly larger) East Renfrewshire unitary area.

It remains a constituency for Scottish Parliament elections. An identical constituency called Renfrewshire East is used for UK Parliament elections. Until the 1997 General Election, when Eastwood was won by the Labour candidate, Jim Murphy, it was the safest Conservative seat in Scotland.
