Torrance is a relatively affluent village in East Dunbartonshire, formerly Stirlingshire, Scotland, located 8 miles (13 km) north of Glasgow city centre. Torrance used to mainly consist of farmland.[2] The village was once famous as a resting place for workers on their way to the Campsie Fells 4 miles (6.4 km) north. The Forth and Clyde Canal has a wharf nearby at Hungryside, and the A807 runs along its southern edge.
