Other new towns were Irvine and East Kilbride. Before the 1950s, Cumbernauld was a country village. This photograph, taken c. 1960, shows the housing which had been built very quickly. Industry, a shopping centre and leisure amenities were to follow. New towns which were not related to Glasgow were also built at Livingston and Glenrothes. Resource pack   1     2     3
