Twechar is a small former mining village historically in Dunbartonshire and administered by the council area of East Dunbartonshire, Scotland close to the boundary with North Lanarkshire.[2] It lies between the larger towns of Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch.[3] The Forth and Clyde Canal runs close to the village to the north, and closely follows the line of the Antonine Wall.[4] There are visible remains of the wall on Bar Hill and the Roman Fort is a local tourist attraction.[5]
