In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Cadder like this:
Cadder, par. and vil., NW. Lanarkshire, on Forth and Clyde Canal, 1½ mile NE. of its post-town and sta., Bishop-Briggs, and 5 miles N. of Glasgow, 13,969 ac., pop. 6965. At Robroyston, in this par., Sir William Wallace was betrayed and captured, 5th August 1305.
Cadder is now part of EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how EAST DUNBARTONSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Cadder itself, go to Statistics.
