Hardgate is a village in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.
This village was established long before the town of Clydebank came into existence. It became part of Clydebank along with the neighbouring village of Duntocher, and now lies in the West Dunbartonshire local authority area.
The village expanded due to house building by Clydebank town council after World War II, and later by the Wimpey firm in the early 1970s on what had been green belt land.
Local Confusion
The boundary between Hardgate and Duntocher was always the Loch Humphrey/Duntocher Burn, though this was confused a little by the "Hardgate ward" for councillor elections being created by the now defunct Clydebank District Council; this ward using Farm road in Duntocher as its boundary. This was done to ensure roughly equal representation between each of the ward divisions in terms of population. Even now people between Farm Road and the Burn will mistakenly provide their place of residence as Hardgate.
Sport
Hardgate has had 2 football teams of the same name. Hardgate was formed in 1893 and folded in 1904 but Hardgate Amateurs was brought back to life in 2004 by David McCready and Ryan Lamond and now compete in the Strathclyde Saturday Morning League. McCready & Lamond continue to run the club along with Club Secretary Greg Fanning.
