(NS 5767 7506) Baldernock parish church stands by the W side of the road from Strathblane to Bardowie, about a mile and a quarter ENE of Milngavie. It was built in 1795, evidently taking the place of an older structure of several periods, and is a good example of a 'preaching kirk' with its internal arrangements undisturbed.
