East Dunbartonshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Dhùn Breatainn an Ear, IPA: [ʃir̴əxg̊ ɣunˈb̊ɾʲɛhd̪̊ɪɲ ə ɲɛɾ]) is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland. It borders onto the North-west of the City of Glasgow. It contains many of the suburbs of Glasgow as well as containing many of the city's commuter towns and villages. East Dunbartonshire also shares a border with West Dunbartonshire, Stirling, and North Lanarkshire. The council area covers part of the former county of Stirlingshire as well as parts of the former counties of Dunbartonshire and Lanarkshire.
The council area was formed in 1996, from part of the former Bearsden and Milngavie district along with other parts of Strathclyde region.
In a 2007 Reader's Digest poll, East Dunbartonshire was voted the best place in the UK to raise a family. [1]
