The northern boundary of the constituency is the River Clyde from Braehead in the east to Langbank in the west. The constituency includes the northern part of Paisley, plus the towns and villages of Renfrew, Erskine, Inchinnan, Bishopton, Langbank, Bridge of Weir, Houston, Craigends, Brookfield and Linwood. It also includes Glasgow Airport and part of the Hillington Industrial Estate.

Following the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat has undergone significant boundary changes which were used for the first time at the 2024 general election. The redrawn constituency contains a northern portion of Renfrewshire, including part of Paisley and the towns of Renfrew, Erskine and Bishopton alongside the villages of Inchinnan and Langbank in full. It also adds the entire Hillington and part of the Cardonald area of Glasgow.[1] Linwood and Brookfield were moved to Paisley and Renfrewshire South and Bridge of Weir, Houston and Craigends included in the new Inverclyde and Renfrewshire West constituency.[2][3]
