Birdston is a hamlet located in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland between Milton of Campsie and Kirkintilloch. [1] The 'Campsie poet' William Muir (1766-1817) was born in Birdston and is buried in the kirkyard there. [2] A monument to him was erected in the kirkyard by admirers of his poems in 1857. [3]
