'''Cadder''' ([[Scottish Gaelic]]: '' |
'''Cadder''' ([[Scottish Gaelic]]: ''Coille Dobhair'') is a district of the town of [[Bishopbriggs]], [[East Dunbartonshire]], [[Scotland]]. It is located 7 km north of [[Glasgow]] city centre, 0.5 km south of the [[River Kelvin]], and approximately 1.5 km north-east of Bishopbriggs town centre, sited on the route of the [[Forth and Clyde Canal]]. There is a Glasgow council housing scheme of a similar name, generally pronounced Cawder, in the district of [[Lambhill]] some {{convert|3|mi|km|0}} to the south-west along the Canal, which was built in the early 1950s. Similarly, within Cadder, there is Cawder Golf Club, which also uses that original pronunciation. |

Cadder (Scottish Gaelic: Coille Dobhair) is a district of the town of Bishopbriggs, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is located 7 km north of Glasgow city centre, 0.5 km south of the River Kelvin, and approximately 1.5 km north-east of Bishopbriggs town centre, sited on the route of the Forth and Clyde Canal. 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. Similarly, within Cadder, there is Cawder Golf Club, which also uses that original pronunciation.
History
[edit]In antiquity, Cadder was the site of a Roman fort[6] on the route of the Antonine Wall.[7] Its neighbouring forts are Balmuildy to the west and Kirkintilloch to the east although there are intermediate fortlets at Wilderness Plantation to the west and Glasgow Bridge to the east.[8] The Second Legion may have been responsible for building the fort.[9] John Clarke of the Glasgow Archaeological Society excavated the remains in the 1930s.[10] Sir George Macdonald also wrote about the excavation of the site.[11] The site was destroyed by sand quarrying in the 1940s.[12] A sketch of the medieval motte made by Skinner still survives.[13] One find at Cadder was an oil lamp which is associated with the bath house of the fort.[14] Before the Reformation the lands of Cadder and the kirk belonged to the Bishops of Glasgow.[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.[17][18][19] Cadder Parish Church was described in the 19th century as a neat modern Gothic church.[20] Cadder House was a property held by the Stirling family for generations.[21]
