Cumbernauld, Scotland

Commercial Mortgages & Property Finance in Cumbernauld

Cumbernauld is one of Scotland's five post-war new towns, built from the 1950s to house Glasgow overspill. The town's brutalist town centre has been widely criticised but is now being demolished and rebuilt. Cumbernauld's position on the A80/M80 corridor between Glasgow and Stirling, combined with major investment at the Cumbernauld Village area and Westway, signals a new chapter.
