**Hardgate** is a village in [West Dunbartonshire](/source/West_Dunbartonshire), [Scotland](/source/Scotland).

Hardgate has probably been settled since [Neolithic](/source/Neolithic) times with a burial site at Knappers Farm, the [Cochno Stone](/source/Cochno_Stone) (a [cup and ring marked](/source/Cup_and_ring_mark) stone), and a [burial chamber](/source/Chamber_tomb) near [Cochno Loch](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cochno_Loch&action=edit&redlink=1) providing evidence of this.[1]

Although it is a far older settlement, it is administratively part of nearby [Clydebank](/source/Clydebank) along with the neighbouring village of [Duntocher](/source/Duntocher) and now lies in the [West Dunbartonshire](/source/West_Dunbartonshire) local authority area. Along with Duntocher and [Faifley](/source/Faifley), Hardgate falls within West Dunbartonshiire's *Kilpatrick* ward with a combined population of 12,719 in 2011.[2]

Dunn's Mills operated a cotton mill in the 19th century. It continued to produce thread and yarn until its destruction during the [Clydebank Blitz](/source/Clydebank_Blitz) in 1941.[3]

The village expanded due to house building by the [Clydebank](/source/Clydebank) town council after [World War II](/source/World_War_II), and later by the [Wimpey](/source/George_Wimpey) firm in the early 1970s on what had been [green belt](/source/Green_belt) land.

The village has one [non-denominational](/source/Non-denominational) school, Goldenhill Primary School.
