Cardross lies lies roughly half way between Dumbarton and Helensburgh, on the banks of the River Clyde. It has a population of around 2000, with its own primary school, golf, bowling, tennis and football clubs, and numerous youth organisations. The A814 passes through the heart of the village, and the Railway Station (pictured below) has a half-hourly service in both directions.
The Chapel of Saint Mahew (below) on Darleith Road dating from as early as the 14th century, was fully restored in 1955. It has served both Catholic and Protestant faiths at different times over the years, finally becoming a Roman Catholic Church in 1955 after extensive restoration.
