About Shettleston
- Shettleston has the distinction of being one of the most politically studied constituencies in Scotland, having returned Labour MPs at every general election from 1918 to 2015, when the SNP's surge swept across Scotland. The constituency was represented for many years by David Marshall, who served as MP from 1979 to 2010, and before him by Frank McElhone and Jimmy Reid — the latter famous for leading the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders work-in of 1971, one of the most celebrated acts of industrial resistance in British history. The area's strong community identity has been maintained through generations of change, and local organisations continue to play a vital role in supporting residents through the social and economic challenges that have affected many east Glasgow communities.
