Where to stay in Blairdardie
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Blairdardie was laid out as housing between the 1950s and the early 1960s, and the plan still governs it: streets of homes bounded by High Knightswood, Knightswood, Old Drumchapel, Drumchapel and Garscadden, with nothing built for visitors. Peterson Park gives the green space. Overnight guests must look outside Blairdardie for a bed.
Knightswood St Margaret's Parish Church and St Benedict's Roman Catholic Church on Drumchapel Road are the two churches recorded here.

About Blairdardie
What are the main landmarks in Blairdardie?
Two churches and a park. Knightswood St Margaret's Parish Church and St Benedict's Roman Catholic Church, the latter on Drumchapel Road, are the buildings recorded for Blairdardie, and Peterson Park supplies the open ground among the housing. A run of listed villas on Maxwell Avenue lies just beyond.
Those stand at Westerton in Bearsden.
What is the history of Blairdardie?
Blairdardie is a planned build. Construction ran between the 1950s and the early 1960s, filling ground north of the River Clyde between Knightswood and Drumchapel, so the street pattern here dates from one continuous programme rather than centuries of accretion. The River Clyde runs to the south.
Garscadden, Old Drumchapel and High Knightswood took shape around it.
Where is Blairdardie?
Blairdardie occupies the north-west of Glasgow, north of the River Clyde, with High Knightswood, Old Drumchapel and Garscadden pressing in on every side.
