About Strathblane

Strathblane is a village at the western foot of the Campsie Fells, sitting in the valley of the Blane Water about 10 miles north of Glasgow.

The village has a strong community identity, with a primary school, a village hall, a church, local shops, and an active programme of community events. The annual gala day and the village's support for local causes reflect a close-knit community.

The Campsie Fells rise steeply behind the village, and the West Highland Way passes through nearby Mugdock Country Park, making Strathblane an excellent base for hill walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation.

Strathblane is connected to Glasgow by bus and by road via the A81, and Milngavie railway station is a short drive away. The village's combination of rural setting, community life, and accessibility has made it a popular choice for families.

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.
