Boundaries

Located in the far north-east of Glasgow, the core of the ward since 2007 includes neighbourhoods between the M8 motorway and the city boundary with North Lanarkshire: Easterhouse, Provanhall, Garthamlock, Craigend, Ruchazie, Hogganfield, Provanmill and Blackhill as well as the village of Gartloch, all bordered by open ground, much of which is within the Seven Lochs Wetland Park.

The 2017 changes removed the Robroyston, Barmulloch, Wallacewell and Balornock neighbourhoods located to the west of the M80 motorway, as well as the streets in Millerston within Glasgow, which were added to the Springburn ward. Following the alterations, it was the ward covering the largest area in the city, but with the smallest population spread the most thinly across the territory.
