Cardowan

Cardowan is a predominantly residential area located in the north-east of Glasgow, Scotland. It falls within the Glasgow City Council ward of Baillieston. Historically, the area was largely agricultural before significant housing development in the mid-20th century.

Cardowan is bordered by Stepps to the north, Gartloch Hospital and its grounds to the east, and primarily industrial areas to the south and west, separating it from other residential districts within Glasgow.

Housing in Cardowan primarily consists of semi-detached and terraced houses built during the aforementioned period of expansion. Local amenities include shops, schools, and community facilities catering to the needs of its residents. Access to the wider Glasgow area is facilitated by public transport links and nearby major road networks.

The name "Cardowan" is likely derived from a combination of Gaelic elements.
