This is the trackbed of the Drumpeller Railway. This line was laid from the Monkland Canal at Cuillhill to the pits in the Bredisholm coalfield along the North Calder. When first laid in 1843 the coal wagons were horse drawn. The spelling of the line is correct as it was legally known as the Drumpeller and not Drumpellier as might be assumed.
