About Coatbridge

Located in the central Lowlands, the town of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, Scotland lies just over 8 and a half miles (14 kilometers) east of Glasgow’s city center. Coatbridge, along with its neighbor Airdrie, makes up what is known as the Monklands (population around 90,000 including outlying settlements), which are commonly thought to be a part of the Greater Glasgow urban area, despite not being counted in official population figures since 2016 due to small gaps between the Monklands and the Glasgow built-up areas.

Coatbridge, a town established in the area, grew from a scattering of hamlets in the final decades of the 18th century. A key factor in the city’s expansion was the invention of the hot blast technique, which contributed greatly to the Industrial Revolution. Coatbridge was known as “the industrial core of Scotland” and the “Iron Burgh” in the 19th century, when it was a major hub for iron industries and coal mining in Scotland.

Coatbridge was also infamous for its extreme air pollution and industrial excesses. With the depletion of coal reserves in the 1920s, Coatbridge’s iron industry was already in steep decline. When the Great Depression hit, the Gartsherrie ironwork was the only one left in operation. Coal, iron, and steel have been “consigned to the heritage scrap heap,” as one journal has put it about present-day Coatbridge.
