Cumbernauld is one of the best known towns just outside of Glasgow with it having produced many famous faces.
Although the history of Cumbernauld dates back to Roman times, the town as we know it today was shaped during the fifties when the site was designated as a ‘new town’ in December 1955. After years of construction and building of houses, Cumbernauld is now the largest town in North Lanarkshire with a population of over 50,000 residents.
