Baljaffray is a housing estate in the town of Bearsden, East Dumbartonshire. The area now known as "South Baljaffray", encircled by one road, Grampian Way, was the first phase of housing in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, North Baljaffray was built. The two areas are divided by Baljaffray Road. The Manse Burn separates South Baljaffray from an older housing estate, Bonnaughton, to the South, while the east boundary with Mosshead is defined by Stockiemuir Road. It has had a Primary School since 1974, (Baljaffray Primary School) and is within the catchment area for Bearsden Academy. The symbol of Baljaffray Primary is a mine wheel, reflecting the mining history of the area. It contains a small shopping precinct with a Farmfoods, Chinese Restaurant (New Manor Garden), Newsagents (Shop 'N' Save), fast food takeaway (Spice Chilli), Moss Chemists, Fish and Chip Shop, A barbers, Great Western Taxis and Lidl supermarket. Due to its proximity to the Rangers FC training ground, many of the players live in Baljaffray.
