Welcome to Cumbernauld Village. Cumbernauld Village is a community with a long history and a thriving present. While Cumbernauld is associated with 20th century new towns, its village dates back to medieval times and probably beyond to the Roman period. The Village still has its original medieval layout with a single street running from castle to church with wynds and lanes off the street and lang riggs (narrow plots of land) running at right angles to the main street. The historic Church is still very much preserved and in use and there are still some remains of the medieval castle.
Today the community is a busy one and includes a wide range of businesses and a proactive Community Council. This website is funded by the Community Council and supported by Cumbernauld Village Action for the Community. It is run by community volunteers and you are very welcome to participate in the discussion forum, contribute content to the website or volunteer to help in some way. If you would like to get involved with the community, you can participate on the web here, or why not come to the monthly Community Council meetings held on the second Thursday of the month at 7.30pm in the Village Community Hall in the Wynd. If you live in the Village, visit the website often; this is your notice board and your website. If you don’t, welcome to our community and we hope you enjoy finding out more about it and its history.
