Despite Bearsden and Milngavie District Council ceasing to exist in 1996 (when East Dunbartonshire Council came into being), their name is still on top of the old maps beside the car park on Douglas Street. It is interesting to compare these maps with current street maps to see how much has changed in the last 25+ years. See Image for a wider view of the location from 2018.
