Kildrum Road, Cumbernauld, 1963
The town was very much a construction site in many places at the time of my visit. The maisonette blocks have since been replaced by new blocks on the lod layout.
Of particular interest is the lady wheeling a child in a pram along a major road, clearly not having got used to the presence of a network of pedestrian ways designed to keep pedestrians and traffic separated.

Cumbernauld's Light Sculpture
Part of the Cumbernauld Positive Image Campaign.
"The special effects are achieved by fins positioned on the embankments
of at A8011 - the approach road to the town centre. The intention is to
emulate the feeling of driving alongside a giant wave." Cumbernauld News.

Braehead Roundabout over Central Way, Cumbernauld ? 1964
Central Way (A8011) is the principal spine road of the new town. Since this view, a tower block arose on the left hand side https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2039507 , but remarkably this has since been demolished to provide a similar skyline in 2019 (bar some tree growth) https://goo.gl/maps/xt2zTZH2ZMngLhri9

Cumbernauld housing ? 1964
Part of the Kyle Road development in the Kildrum area.
The view must have been taken from the roof of the Sacred Heart church, which would have been under construction at the time. The visit to Cumbernauld was part of an architectural study tour when I was a student.
