Check they are registered with a recognised scheme such as the Good Garage Scheme or Motor Ombudsman and ask for a written estimate before any work begins.

About Milton of Campsie

Milton of Campsie is a village at the eastern end of the Campsie Fells, sitting on the Glazert Water about two miles east of Lennoxtown and five miles north of Kirkintilloch.

The village has a long history of rural industry - bleaching, paper-making and quarrying all operated here - but today it is primarily a residential community with a quiet, semi-rural character.

The Campsie Fells provide an immediate backdrop to the north, with walking routes onto the hills accessible from the village. The Glazert Water and surrounding farmland give the area a green, open feel.

Milton of Campsie has a primary school, a village hall and a small number of local businesses. Bus services connect the village to Kirkintilloch and Glasgow and the A891 provides the main road link through the Kelvin Valley.

About East Dunbartonshire

(opens in new tab)

East Dunbartonshire is a council area on the northern fringe of Glasgow, stretching from the suburbs of Bearsden and Bishopbriggs in the south across the Campsie Fells and Kilsyth Hills to the edge of the Stirling council area in the north.

The area is one of the most affluent in Scotland, consistently ranking at or near the top of national tables for school attainment, life expectancy and quality of life. Bearsden, Milngavie and Lenzie are particularly sought after by families drawn to the schools, green spaces and easy access to Glasgow city centre.

Kirkintilloch, the administrative centre, sits on the line of the Antonine Wall and the Forth and Clyde Canal, both of which run east-west through the heart of the council area. The canal has been restored as a leisure route and the wall is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site that extends across the central belt.

Transport links are strong: the A803 and A807 connect the area's towns, railway services from Bearsden, Milngavie, Bishopbriggs and Lenzie reach Glasgow Queen Street in under 20 minutes and the Campsie Fells and Mugdock Country Park provide immediate access to open countryside without leaving the council area.

The smaller communities of Lennoxtown, Torrance and Twechar add to the area's variety - sitting closer to the hills and the canal than the suburban south - and give East Dunbartonshire a mix of rural and suburban character that few council areas of its size can match.
