Things to do in Bearsden
Bearsden is a leafy commuter suburb of Glasgow with more to offer than its villa-lined streets suggest. Its most surprising landmark is the remains of a Roman bath house, part of the Antonine Wall frontier, while Kilmardinny House hosts music, exhibitions and classes throughout the year.
For fresh air, the Kelvin Walkway and Allander Water paths link Bearsden to Milngavie, and Mugdock Country Park is a short drive north. Later, Roman Road, Drymen Road and the Westerton parade are the places to eat, browse and meet friends.
