Tourist Guide Cumbernauld:

Cumbernauld can be referred to as one of the ‘new town’s’ located in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The year 1956 witnessed its establishment. At that time, it existed in the form of a ‘population overspill’ with regards to Glasgow City.

Cumbernauld is the 8th most populous community all over Scotland. It’s also bigger than 2 cities, i.e. Stirling and Inverness (of Scotland); in spite of being a portion of ‘Greater Glasgow’ urban area.

The name ‘Cumbernauld’ has been derived from ‘comar nan allt’, a ‘Scots Gaelic’; which means ‘meeting of the waters’ as from the geographic point of view, streams flow from west to east.

Cumbernauld has 2 football teams- First division side Clyde based at ‘Broadwood Stadium’, and Cumbernauld United, i.e. ‘Junior Football side’; who go on to play at ‘Guy’s Meadow’. This town also boasts of a ‘Rugby Team’, called Cumbernauld RFC.
 
Motorway links in the vicinity are inclusive of M8, M74, M73, M876, M80, and M9.

It has lovely walks and parklands, however for a town with a population of almost 50.000 people the shopping centre is inadequate.
