Milton of Campsie

Milton of Campsie is a village formerly in the county of Stirlingshire, but now in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland roughly 10 miles (16 km) north of Glasgow.

The village expanded greatly in the 1970s with the addition of modern housing estates by Barratt and Bellway, the latter being more extensive.

Amenities include a newsagent, a Co-op Store (the converted 'Craigfoot Inn' and a Scotmid, Post Office, pharmacy, two hairdressing salons and now a Coffee House.

[citation needed] A small plaque at the centre of the village commemorates the accidental landing of the Italian diplomat and balloonist, Vincenzo Lunardi, on 5 December 1785.

At the Cross there is an open seating area called "The Old Man's Rest"; previously there was a shelter for an earlier generation.
