{{maplink|raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Dumbarton (Scottish Parliament constituency)}}|frame=yes|frame-height=260|frame-width=210|text=Map of boundaries from 2011}}
The Dumbarton constituency was created at the same time as the Scottish Parliament, in [[1999 Scottish Parliament election|1999]], with the name and boundaries of an  existing [[Dumbarton (UK Parliament constituency)|Westminster constituency]]. In [[2005 United Kingdom general election|2005]], however, the Westminster ([[House of Commons (UK)|House of Commons]]) constituency was abolished in favour of new constituencies.<ref>See [http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/ ''The 5th Periodical Report of the Boundary Commission for Scotland''] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070921124603/http://www.bcomm-scotland.gov.uk/ |date=September 21, 2007 }}</ref>

The constituency takes in [[Helensburgh]] and [[Loch Lomond|Lomond]] from the [[Argyll and Bute]] council area and covers [[Dumbarton]] and the [[Vale of Leven]] in [[West Dunbartonshire]].

*From Argyll and Bute: [[Lomond North (ward)|Lomond North]], [[Helensburgh Central (ward)|Helensburgh Central]], [[Helensburgh and Lomond South (ward)|Helensburgh and Lomond South]]

== Constituency profile ==
Dumbarton is the only constituency in the Scottish Parliament to have voted Labour in every election in the devolved era. Ahead of the 2021 election, ''[[The Times]]'' profiled the seat:

{{Blockquote
|text=Dumbarton is a diverse seat split between two local authorities: Argyll and Bute and West Dunbartonshire. Its two biggest towns, Dumbarton and Helensburgh, have very different demographics. Dumbarton has significant unemployment and deprivation. It is a traditional Labour territory but, as with many such heartlands, the party’s one-time supporters have become increasingly disaffected... Helensburgh, with its pretty, blustery waterfront, is more affluent and has benefited from its proximity to [Faslane naval] base.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/holyrood-election-is-it-time-for-faslane-seat-to-hit-the-big-snp-button-d59hbfb0k|title=Holyrood election: Is it time for Faslane seat to hit the big SNP button?|first=Dani|last=Garavelli|date=11 April 2021|via=www.thetimes.co.uk}}</ref>

Incumbent Jackie Baillie has cultivated a profile as a hard working local MSP,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19277303.holyroods-tighest-fight-dumbarton/|title=Election 2021: Dumbarton constituency profile as Holyrood's tightest fight|last=Gordon|first=Tom|date=4 May 2021|work=The Herald}}</ref> a reputation that has helped her retain the seat as the Labour Party has declined nationally.
