At
the turn of the last century, Coatbridge was the eight largest
town in Scotland. It was formed

Coatbridge,

Valley. "Monklands" is derived from when King Malcom IV presented

district was largely used for farming. The coal and iron industries
grew in the late 1800s resulting in the population increasing. |
