Cumbernauld is very much near the centre of Scotland.
Cumbernauld is a new town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, created in 1956 as a population overflow for Glasgow. Its population was 49,664 at the time of the 2001 census. The name comes from the Scots Gaelic comar nan allt, meaning the meeting of the waters.
The town was the setting of the popular Scottish film Gregory's Girl,, although there is nothing at all celebrating this fact.
- Cumbernauld town centre. Cumbernauld is one of five new towns built in Scotland in the 1950s to contain the overspill from Glasgow. As a result there is next to nothing of architectural interest in the town unless you are keen on 1960s shopping centres and the disastrous buildings of that era.
