Torrance is a village in East Dunbartonshire, formerly Stirlingshire, Scotland, located eight miles (thirteen kilometres) north of Glasgow city centre. Torrance used to mainly consist of farmland. The village was once known as a resting place for workers on their way to the Campsie Fells four miles (six kilometres) north. The Forth and Clyde Canal has a wharf nearby at Hungryside, and the A807 runs along its southern edge. The village has an active community charity whose aims are to improve the village facilities.
