Bishopbriggs is a town of approximately 23,000 people, located to the north of Glasgow, Scotland and part of East Dunbartonshire Council. It has a small town centre and is mainly an area of housing.

The town Centre area is known as the Triangle. This was a redeveloped area made possible by the demolition of older tenement housing stock to facilitate redevelopment. Tenement buildings from this time frame are still present at Bishopbriggs Cross. Bishopbriggs is also notable for its large villas, constructed during the 1850s adjacent to the then recently completed railway station and also for its larger 1950s and 1960s housing estates. The town residents also campaigned successfully to avoid being absorbed into the City of Glasgow boundaries, instead being absorbed into the Strathkelvin area along with Kirkintilloch. Due to the council area reshuffle in 1996, Bishopbriggs is now part of the East Dunbartonshire Council region.

The most famous resident from this area is Thomas Muir of Huntershill, after whom one of the local Secondary Schools is named. The area is served by seven Primary Schools and three Secondary Schools.

Bishopbriggs also houses Lowmoss Prison on the outskirts of the town which is near to a recent local retail park developement. There is no notable local business in the area but in the 19th Century there were many small mines in the area, including quarries in nearby Crowhill, Huntershill and Kenmure.
