Faifley is a housing estate on the north eastern periphery of Clydebank. It lies roughly equidistant between Bearsden, Clydebank town centre and neighbouring Glasgow housing estate, Drumchapel. Construction on the estate began in 1953, following the Clydebank Extension Act in 1949, to replace housing that had been destroyed by the famous Clydebank Blitz during the Second World War. Clydebank Town Council built properties closer to the centre while the Scottish Special Housing Association built on the farthest extremities of the boundary extension. Population peaked at 9500 during the 1960s.
