Health and Wellbeing events give students passports to healthier lifestyles Students have received a passport to healthier lifestyles after taking part in Health and Wellbeing events at New College Lanarkshire. Dozens of stalls were set up in our campuses in Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Coatbridge to encourage students to assess their mental and physical health. RT @jrgealt: Thank you to Motherwell College at @NCLanarkshire for such a lovely morning! And I have a new love in my life… Tui consultant Sophie Cameron gives presentation to Travel and Tourism students Sophie Cameron is flying high in her dream job after studying at New College Lanarkshire – and she returned to inspire others with her story.

Our very own #NCL students have just been modelling for the gent's long hair finish competition - well done guys! The anatomy body painting competition is coming along nicely!
Some great #skills on show today! Cumbernauld North covers all the districts north of the A80/M80. Cumbernauld has an ancient history but was re-created as a new town in the 1950s. It is now the eighth most populous area in Scotland. It was constructed as a series of satellite neighbourhoods around the hilltop town centre. The town is well connected by bus and/or rail to Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh, Falkirk and Motherwell. Kilsyth is a market town and the area includes the villages of Queenzieburn, Croy and Banton. The area sits between the Kilsyth hill and the River Kelvin. The town has a number of amenities, good access to outdoor activities and is close to the Falkirk Wheel. Cumbernauld South covers all districts south of the A80/M80, except Abronhill, Kildrum and the Village. Cumbernauld was redesignated a new town in the 1950s to cope with the overspill of population from Glasgow. The area has several large employers including Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
Abronhill, Kildrum and the Village are located in the south eastern corner of the new town of Cumbernauld. Abronhill is a suburb built on the site of former farms. Kildrum was the first area to be constructed in the new town. The village has a pre-medieval history and has a slightly different structure from the rest of the town, for example having pavements beside the roads. Strathkelvin covers the towns/villages of Mollinsburn, Moodiesburn, Muirhead, Chryston, Mount Ellen, Gartcosh, Auchinloch, Cardowan, Stepps and Millerston. These settlements share the mining history of the rest of the area and have a range of local amenities. Their closeness to Glasgow mean many residents commute to the city to work. The new Scottish Police Services Authority campus is being built in Gartcosh.

However, conceptually, it’s mad.The project was to provide housing for 70,000 people and to essentially reinvent the idea of the traditional British town. New houses were built in sectors around the center, there were no streets in the traditional sense, yet rather a series of locations without intersections, connected by a complex road system to ease traffic.But as the picture you posted demonstrates - that budget of £70 million wasn’t enough, but ultimately, it looks so ugly. It is truly the pinnacle of the same 1960s post war brutalist architecture - you know, the same sort of buildings that make people freak when they see Berlin (but to be far, Berlin is much better city).It’s also not finished, I swear.EDIT - It is Western Scotland, just outside Glasgow. And by “no streets”, I mean no traditional high-street or market streets with shops - originally, the whole of the town’s consumer industry would be in the shopping centre in the middle of town. Interestingly, this would accessible from anywhere in the town within 20 minutes by foot - “without crossing a road or meeting a car”.
Cumbernauld is a particularly unlovely “not-so-new” town in the central belt of Scotland. It was built to house people from the Glasgow tenements when these were redeveloped in the late 1950s - 1970’s.The brutalist architecture would not look out of place in Eastern Germany (before the wall fell). However, the people retain a wry sense of humour. If you want to get a flavour of the place, you should seek out the 1981 film “Gregory’s Girl”, which is a really enchanting coming of age story by the wonderful Scots director Bill Forsyth. The film is thoroughly well worth watching because the gentle wit and use of irony is very recognisably Scottish.What’s rather sad is that this wasteland was build on the site of some once-interesting history and archaeology, for example it’s near the Roman Antonine Wall (a more northerly version of Hadrian’s Wall). One of the interpretations of the name is from the Gaelic comar nan allt means meeting of the streams - perhaps because this is near the watershed of where some streams run West towards Glasgow and the Clyde, and others East to the Forth and Edinburgh.Cumbernauld is not a place to go for pleasure unless you are visiting friends and a warm welcome awaits you.

The idea to build a series of new towns that would provide everything needed for the population. So not only new houses but new schools, industrial areas, shopping areas, swimming pools etc.It didn't take long however for the problems to start mounting. Not only was budget not big enough due to unexpected inflation levels. The people did not necessarily want to move from their city centre homes which might not have been perfect but it was where they had friends and family. The industrial areas where built, but in the seventies it was much harder than expected attract industry of the right type in the right quantity for the work force. Kids didn't find enough to do, leading to gangs being formed and the social issues that brings. The brand new housing stock was not week built leading to damp and other problems.
The style of the town has also lead to criticism. It is distinctly modernist and contains quite a large amount of high rise living which has never been popular in the UK. The design also makes a complicated attempt to seperate cars from people, making navigation complicated and created underpasses that were frequently used more as toilets than anything else.Overall the town is a good example of what can happen if central planners build a town without consulting the people it is intended for.As an ex resident of Cumbernauld I can see why Cumbernauld gets a bad name…(Both pictures from Abronhill in Cumbernauld)Although I think it was 2007 that Cumbernauld had 1 more murder than Glasgow.Don’t get me wrong, I spent my teenage years in Abronhill (Cumbernauld) and yes, the architecture was horrendous and violence etc. was rife. Taught me some good life lessons. I read a book (Central Belt Scotland, 2001 I think) The author went to Carbrain in Cumbernauld and documented the gang violence between Carbrain and Abronhill and he said in the second chapter “As someone who has documented cultural gang violence in London and Glasgow, the lifestyle and gang violence I witnessed in Cumbernauld between Carbrain and Abronhill youths is by far the most horrific and sad sight I have seen”It's an ex mining town in the central belt
