Scottish Conservative Annie Wells was told she'd be "set alight" if she stepped foot in her own community.
The Glasgow MSP saw the sick message after posting a statement online about the 2014 independence referendum.
In response, a now-deleted post stated: "If she stepped foot in springburn she wid get set alight."
The Twitter account, @GRR95_, has since vanished.
Wells drew attention to the post by copying it to her own account.
She condemned the Tweet, and wrote: "Civic and joyous. Welcome to Scotland."
The exchange followed a video posted by Wells on September 18, the sixth anniversary of the independence referendum.
Wells wrote: "Six years ago the people of Scotland said No. We meant it then, we mean it now.
"Time for the SNP to get on with the day job."
