James Dornan won this seat as group leader for the SNP on Glasgow City Council, beating former Glasgow City Council leader Charlie Gordon. Gordon himself took over in a 2005 by-election triggered by the resignation of Mike Watson the day he pled guilty to wilful fire-raising at an awards dinner.

Notes: Given boundary changes since 2007, variations in votes and share between seats with different boundaries would be misleading. We use the Denver figures, essentially a calculation of the 2007 votes cast within 2011 boundaries. More information on this here.
