==Overview== |
|||
[[Image:Luggiebank.jpg|190px|thumb|left]]'''Luggiebank, Cumbernauld''' [http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm?shop_id=290&mapAction=gaz&gazName=pc&gazString=G67+2JH (Map)] is a small village to the south of [[Cumbernauld]] and is now essentially a suburb of the town. It is situated on what used to be the Striling Road from Lanark, but as a result of a by pass (B8039) the old road is now a cul de sac. |
|||
The village consists of around 30 houses and is essentially built around two streets, the older part of Stirling Road and newer houses on Blairlinn View. Other farms and houses in the surrounding area are deemed to be in Luggiebank. On the south bound side of Stirling Road the houses back onto Luggie Water after which the village was named. (This area is now a nature reserve managed by the [[Scottish Wildlife Trust]]). |
|||
The name Luggie is a Scots word meaning a wooden bucket with handles. An extract from the [[Gazetteer for Scotland|Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland 1882]] describes The Luggie in less than glowing terms. However, there is also a poem written by [[David Grey]] (1838-61) ''The Dear Old Toiling One'', in which he fondly mentions the Luggie and apparently another poem of the same ilk called 'The Luggie' or possibly 'Luggie-side'. |
|||
==History== |
|||
[[Image:Stirling Road Luggiebank circa 1925.jpg|190px|thumb|left]] |
|||
The Village has some history and houses are displayed on the north bound side of Stirling Road in the 1864 [[Ordnance Survey]] map [http://www.old-maps.co.uk/IndexMapPage2.aspx (Old Map)]. People even used to holiday in the village and there is a postcard looking south, showing the village possibly from the 1930's. The Luggie Bridge just to the north of the village is a fine stone arch. |
