Bargeddie, Luggie Viaduct
The first 'train' consisting of an engine, coal tender and wagon carrying Caledonian Railway personnel and contractors crossed this bridge in a trial in 1864 though the whole line never opened until the following year. This bridge is still used by passenger and freight trains many times per day. Victorian engineering par excellance.

Blaes
A primitive form of all weather football pitch seemingly peculiar to Scotland. The surface is a soft shale, usually red in colour. These leg lacerating pitches are disappearing now. There are two pitches off Langmuir Road.

Line of Drumpeller railway
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.
