Bearsden (/ˌbɛərzˈdɛn/ ) is a town in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, on the northwestern fringe of Greater Glasgow, approximately 6 miles (10 km) from the city centre.
The Roman Antonine Wall runs through the town, and the remains of a military bath house can be seen near the town centre. The current settlement began in the 17th century as the kirkton of the parish of New Kilpatrick, and when a railway connection to Glasgow was constructed in 1863, it developed into an affluent suburb of the city.[3]
By 2020, it had an estimated population of 28,470.[1]
