Lenzie is a suburb in East Dunbartonshire, approx. 5 miles north east of Glasgow. It is situated south of Kirkintilloch and has a population of approx. 10,000.
It was built in the 19th century as a commuter town for those travelling to Glasgow and Edinburgh as its railway station is a stop between the two cities. Lenzie means 'swamp land', and was formally used for farming. Now it has shops, schools, churches, parks and sport clubs like any other suburb.
It's main school is Lenzie Academy, whose former pupils include Scotland rugby international, Andrew Henderson and Travis guitarist Andy Dunlop amongst others.
