(NS 6157 7230) Cadder Church: "A church has stood on, or near this site since at least 1150, and the living was held by the sub-dean of Glasgow Cathedral. The first pre-Reformation church of which any account has been preserved was a building of handsome proportions which, from lack of funds after the Reformation, fell into decay and was replaced in 1750 by a mean building which stood for only 75 years. Present church was completed in 1839." (information from plaque on wall of Cadder church) No further information was found during field investigation, and no traces of early churches can be seen.

Although this church is on record in the 12th century, the present building dates from 1829. Its predecessor was erected in 1750, possibly replacing the medieval church.
