although viewed today as part of the town of bishopbriggs, auchinairn still has a strong sense of community and its own identity. there were five villages: auchinairn; bishopbriggs; cadder; jellyhill; and mavis valley. all were separated from one another by farmland. in 1938 residents were moved from auchinairn to council housing in bishopbriggs. post second world war housing development resulted the farmland being built on. in 1964 the district was granted burgh status, and the name ‘bishopbriggs’ was adopted.
