Gartness is a hamlet in Stirling, Scotland. It is located 1.8 miles/2.9 km from Killearn and 3.1 miles/5 km from Drymen. Most pupils attend Killearn Primary School and senior pupils attend Balfron High School. The Endrick Water passes through the hamlet.

In 1572, John Napier had an estate at Gartness with his second wife, Agnes Chisholm.[2]

Etymology

The name derives from the Scottish Gaelic Gart an Easa, which means "enclosed field by the stream".

Facilities

Whilst the hamlet has no facilities, there is a gift shop located just outside the hamlet, the Wishingwell.
