About Kirkintilloch

Kirkintilloch is the administrative centre of East Dunbartonshire, a town of around 20,000 people sitting on the Forth and Clyde Canal midway between Glasgow and the Campsie Fells.

The town has ancient roots - it grew up around a Roman fort on the Antonine Wall and the canal, which runs through its centre, was a major artery of trade and industry from the 18th century onward. The Auld Kirk Museum on the Cowgate tells the story of the town and the surrounding area.

Kirkintilloch was once known as a centre of weaving and light industry and the town centre retains a compact, traditional character with a good range of local shops and services along the cross and the Cowgate.

Bus services connect Kirkintilloch to Glasgow and the surrounding towns and while it lacks a railway station, nearby Lenzie provides rail access to Glasgow Queen Street. The Campsie Fells rise to the north, offering hill walking within easy reach.

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.
