School catchment is Killermont Primary and Boclair Academy. Also within Bearsden is St Nicholas' Primary on Duntocher Road and The High School of Glasgow Junior School on Ledcameroch Road. The reputation of Bearsden as a great place to live is enduring with its extensive local facilities, ready access to the vibrant West End and City Centre, and the proximity of walks and countryside including The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
