Cadder (Scottish Gaelic: Coille Dobhair) is a district of the town of Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
There is a Glasgow council housing scheme of a similar name, generally pronounced Cawder, in the district of Lambhill some 3 miles (5 km) to the south-west along the Canal, which was built in the early 1950s.
In antiquity, Cadder was the site of a Roman fort[6] on the route of the Antonine Wall.
[15][16] In the 18th century James Dunlop of Garnkirk being a wealthy landowner opposed Thomas Muir and the congregation at Cadder over who appointed their minister.
[21] Cadder has a large cemetery, is also the site of Strathkelvin Retail Park and Low Moss (HM Prison).
