'''Lenzie''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|l|ɛ|n|z|i}}) is a small affluent town by the [[Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway]] in the [[East Dunbartonshire]] council area and the historic county of [[Dunbartonshire]] in [[Scotland]]. It is about {{convert|6|mi|km|0}} north-east of [[Glasgow]] city centre and {{convert|1|mi|km|0}} south of [[Kirkintilloch]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?page=Lenzie&pid=547 |title=Lenzie Academy - Lenzie |publisher=Lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk |access-date=25 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324194333/http://www.lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?page=Lenzie&pid=547 |archive-date=24 March 2012}}</ref> At the 2011 census, it had a population of 8,873.<ref name=census2011>{{cite web|title=Comparative Population Profile: Lenzie Locality Scotland |url=http://www.scrol.gov.uk/scrol/browser/profile.jsp?profile=Population&mainArea=lenzie&mainLevel=Locality |work=Scottish Census Results Online |access-date=24 August 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140524022451/http://www.scrol.gov.uk/scrol/browser/profile.jsp?profile=Population&mainArea=lenzie&mainLevel=Locality |archive-date=24 May 2014}} [[United Kingdom Census 2011]]</ref> The ancient [[Scottish feudal barony of Lenzie|barony of Lenzie]] was held by [[William Comyn, Lord of Badenoch|William de Comyn]], Baron of Lenzie and Lord of [[Cumbernauld]] in the 12th century.
==Toponymy==
Lenzie is now generally pronounced with a /z/, but used to be pronounced /lɛnjɪ/. This is because the original [[Middle Scots|Scots]] spelling, Lenȝie, contained the letter [[yogh]], which was later confused with the [[tailed z]].<ref>Scottish Language Dictionaries: Dictionary of the Scots Language, {{cite web |url=http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/z |title=Dictionaries of the Scots Language:: SND :: Z |access-date=2017-09-13 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170913183702/http://www.dsl.ac.uk/entry/snd/z |archive-date=13 September 2017}}</ref>
The name probably derives from the Gaelic ''Lèanaidh'' ({{IPA|gd|ˈʎianɪ|pron}}), a [[locative]] form of ''lèana'', meaning a "[[wet meadow]]".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Drummond|first1=Peter, John|title=An analysis of toponyms and toponymic patterns in eight parishes of the upper Kelvin basin|date=2014|publisher=Glasgow University|___location=Glasgow|pages=306–308|url=http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5270/1/2014DrummondPhD.pdf#page=307|access-date=3 July 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161005230151/http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5270/1/2014DrummondPhD.pdf#page=307|archive-date=5 October 2016}}</ref> The whole parish was split into Easter Lenzie which now contains for example [[Lenziemill]], and Wester Lenzie which came to be dominated by [[Kirkintilloch]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Watson|first1=Thomas|title=Kirkintilloch, town and parish|date=1894|publisher=J.

==History==
Lenzie, as a town, was built in the 19th century by the famous Greater Glasgow explorer Walter Lenzie as a commuter town for those travelling to Glasgow and [[Edinburgh]], as [[Lenzie railway station]] is a stop between the two cities.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Watson|first1=Thomas|title=Kirkintilloch, town and parish|date=1894|publisher=J. Smith|___location=Glasgow|pages=123–137|url=https://archive.org/stream/kirkintillochtow00wats#page/122/mode/2up|access-date=13 October 2017}}</ref> The train station was originally named 'Kirkintilloch Junction' and later 'Campsie Junction',<ref name=butt>{{Butt-Stations}} pages 52, 136 & 141.</ref> as it was a junction between the [[Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway]] and its [[Campsie branch]] line through [[Kirkintilloch railway station|Kirkintilloch]] (the latter line no longer exists).<ref name=awdry>{{Awdry-RailCo}}</ref>
Lenzie, the 'wet plain'<ref name=johnstone>Johnstone, Fiona (1982). ''Place Names''. Edinburgh: Spur Books. {{ISBN|0-7157-2086-4}}.</ref> had been used for farming. [[Lenzie Moss]], a boggy, marshy area of Lenzie that has not been built on, has [[peat bog]]s, which were extensively exploited and now feature the characteristics of peat cutting, and several acres of deciduous woodland mainly made up of [[silver birch]]. The area is a sanctuary for wildlife, including rabbits, deer, and foxes. On older maps Lenzie Moss was referred to as "mountain moss". The [[Lenzie Peat Railway]] was a narrow gauge railway which ran on Lenzie Moss serving the peat trade.
[[Woodilee Hospital]] opened in 1874 but was gradually closed down from the mid-1990s.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}} Lenzie Hospital for the elderly also closed around this time.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}
Until [[World War II]], housing was chiefly north of the railway station and south of the railway on the west side of Auchinloch Road. This consisted of [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] and [[Edwardian]] villas, a few terraces, and some 1920s and 1930s [[bungalow]]s at Middlemuir and Kirkintilloch Road in north Lenzie. From the 1950s some Council housing was built at Gallowhill Avenue and High Gallowhill as well as private housing. In the south, housing was built at Millersneuk and Claddens, changing the image and the face of the village into a town. Now it has several shops, schools, churches, parks, and various sport clubs like any other suburb.
==Schools==
The main secondary school for the town is [[Lenzie Academy]], which was founded in 1886<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?page=History&pid=538 |title=Lenzie Academy - History |publisher=Lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk |date=21 September 1960 |access-date=25 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324194329/http://www.lenzieacademy.e-dunbarton.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?page=History&pid=538 |archive-date=24 March 2012}}</ref> and was originally both a primary and secondary school situated on Kirkintilloch Road, Lenzie - later Lenzie Primary School. In 1960, the school moved to its present building on Myrtle Avenue, and became purely a secondary school.
Between the 1970s and the 2010s there were four primary schools in Lenzie: Lenzie Moss, Lenzie Primary, Millersneuk and Holy Family. Lenzie Primary was the oldest of the primary schools{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}, and was the former Lenzie Academy building.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/news/latest-letters-to-the-editor-library-school-and-peanuts-on-the-agenda-1-2533417 |title=Latest Letters to the Editor – library, school and peanuts on the agenda - Kirkintilloch Herald |access-date=2017-03-05 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412145658/https://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/news/latest-letters-to-the-editor-library-school-and-peanuts-on-the-agenda-1-2533417 |archive-date=12 April 2018}}</ref>
It became a school for primary education only when the Lenzie Academy building was built in 1960. The second oldest, Lenzie Moss Primary was opened in 1968<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lenziemoss.e-dunbarton.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?page=School+Information&pid=2 |title=Lenzie Moss Primary - School Information |publisher=Lenziemoss.e-dunbarton.sch.uk |access-date=25 October 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120324192619/http://www.lenziemoss.e-dunbarton.sch.uk/page_viewer.asp?page=School%2BInformation&pid=2 |archive-date=24 March 2012}}</ref> and was located next to "[[Lenzie Moss|The Moss]]". Millersneuk Primary School was built in 1979{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}, and celebrated its 25th anniversary with a school concert in Summer 2004{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}. Holy Family Primary is a Catholic school situated on the border of Lenzie and Kirkintilloch.
Schools in the area operated below capacity for some time and in 2010 a review of East Dunbartonshire Council's non-secondary school estate recommended that Lenzie Primary be closed and pupils rezoned to Millersneuk and Lenzie Moss.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/news/local-headlines/what-s-your-view-on-school-closures-1-362900 |title=What's your view on school closures? - Local Headlines |work=Kirkintilloch Herald|date=2010-06-01 |access-date=2012-11-13 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304062746/http://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/news/local-headlines/what-s-your-view-on-school-closures-1-362900 |archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/news/local-headlines/schools-in-kirkintilloch-and-bishopbriggs-in-fight-for-survival-1-2650477 |title=Schools in Kirkintilloch and Bishopbriggs in fight for survival - Local Headlines |work=Kirkintilloch Herald|date=2012-11-23 |access-date=2012-11-29 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304055710/http://www.kirkintilloch-herald.co.uk/news/local-headlines/schools-in-kirkintilloch-and-bishopbriggs-in-fight-for-survival-1-2650477 |archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref> It was decided that Lenzie Moss and Lenzie Primary would merge and be located in a new building on the Lenzie Moss site.

Lenzie Bowling Club was the first club established in the village, when in 1873 a bowling green was formed as an amenity to attract owners and tenants to the properties built in Regent Square and surrounding area - demand for property was less significant in those days prior to electricity supply and suitable drainage! Still in existence, and enjoying a healthy membership, the club will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2023, as well the Centenary of the Ladies Section and 25 years of the Junior Section. The Club welcomes new members aged from 10 years upwards, in a sport that provides great benefits through competitive and friendly sporting activity and healthy social interaction.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Lenzie BC Club Story {{!}} Bowls Scotland 2023 |url=https://www.bowlsscotland.com/news/lenzie-bc-club-story |access-date=2023-08-13 |website=www.bowlsscotland.com}}</ref>
