Cumbernauld is a new town which lies at the centre of Scotland and is one of the major towns of the North Lanarkshire unitary authority. Its name derives from the Gaelic Cumar-nan-Alt, 'the Meeting of the Waters'. The possible reason for this name is due to the proximity of tributaries of the the rivers Forth and Clyde which lead to the major cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Kilsyth is a small but historic town in the Kelvin Valley to the north. The marina on the Forth and Clyde Canal is now a significant feature of the town

There is also a site about the small village of Luggiebank which is located on the outskirts of Cumbernauld.

Croy is another small village to the North of the town and the Croy Miners Welfare would like you to give them a virtual visit.
