The constituency consisted of five
parliamentary burghs:
Kilmarnock in the
county of Ayr,
Dumbarton in the
county of Dumbarton,
Rutherglen in the
county of Lanark and
Renfrew and
Port Glasgow in the
county of Renfrew. The Kilmarnock burgh was previously within the
Ayrshire constituency and Port Glasgow was previously within the
Renfrewshire constituency. Dumbarton, Rutherglen and Renfrew were transferred from
Glasgow Burghs. In 1918 the burgh of Kilmarnock was merged into the then new
Kilmarnock county constituency, which included areas previously within
North Ayrshire and
South Ayrshire. The new Kilmarnock constituency consisted of "The county district of Kilmarnock, inclusive of all burghs situated therein except in so far as included in the
Ayr District of Burghs." The burgh of Dumbarton was transferred to
Dumbarton Burghs, the burgh of Port Glasgow was merged into
West Renfrewshire, the burgh of Renfrew into
East Renfrewshire and the burgh of Rutherglen into the
Rutherglen constituency. ==Members of Parliament==
