East Dunbartonshire (''Siorrachd Dhùn Bhreatainn an Ear'' in Gaelic ) is one of the 32 Council Areas of Scotland . It borders onto the North-west of the City Of Glasgow . It contains many of the suburbs of Glasgow as well as containing many of the city's commuter towns and villages. East Dunbartonshire also shares a border with West Dunbartonshire , Stirling , and North Lanarkshire . The council area covers part of the former county of Stirlingshire as well as parts of the former counties of Dunbartonshire and Lanarkshire .

The Council Area was formed in 1996, from part of the former Bearsden And Milngavie District along with other parts of Strathclyde region.
