Drumchapel, known locally as 'The Drum', is a district in the north-west of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It borders Bearsden to the north-east and Drumry to the south-west, as well as Blairdardie, Garscadden, Knightswood and Yoker in Glasgow to the south; land to the north is undeveloped and includes the course of the Roman-era Antonine Wall. The name derives from the Gaelic meaning 'the ridge of the horse'.
