Boclair House was commissioned by three Buchanan sisters of Bellfield in 1890. It was called the Buchanan Retreat and provided accommodation for poorer members of the Buchanan clan in their declining years. Latterly, it became a home for elderly gentlemen until acquired by the Burgh of Bearsden and opened as the Municipal Buildings by Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon in 1962. Most recently the building was used as an office by East Dunbartonshire Council.
