North Lanarkshire, Scotland
Home Town
Today’s Coatbridge lies north of the M8 motorway in North Lanarkshire, largely indistinguishable to a visitor from its uphill and easterly neighbour, Airdrie. By-passed by through roads, the town centre is easy to avoid: too easy, as what you find is an attractive pedestrian precinct surrounded by a range of interesting buildings. Coatbridge is a town with real character. It also represents perhaps the most spectacular, dramatic and, literally, awful, flowering of the industrial revolution in Scotland.
