Cumbernauld Parish Church
|
This congregation had its origins as a chapel of ease of Kirkintilloch Parish from the 12th or 13th century. In the 1620s the area was part of Lenzie Parish and following an unsuccessful application by the Earl of Wigton to erect a church on his land at Cumbernauld, his chaplain held services in Cubernauld Castle. Lenzie was then divided into Easter Lenzie (Cumbernauld) and Wester Lenzie (Kirkintilloch) and the Cumbernauld congregation repaired the original medieval chapel of ease which was used as their church building from 1659. A portion of Cumbernauld parish was removed in 1883 to form part of the quoad sacra parish of Condorrat. In 1929 the congregation became known as Cumbernauld - St Ninian's, with the old United Free Church becoming Cumbernauld - St Andrew's. In 1952 it was united with Cumbernauld St Andrew’s and the newly united church took the name Cumbernauld Parish Church (later known as Cumbernauld Old). The Church of Scotland kirk session for Cumbernauld sat within the Presbytery of Glasgow until 1929, when it was transferred to the Presbytery of Linlithgow and Falkirk. In 1976 it became part of the Presbytery of Falkirk.

Falkirk : St Andrew's School
|
St Andrew's Primary School was opened on 17 August 1959 and was sited in Meeks Road near the town centre. However, due to the expanding school roll and the age and condition of the school buildings, the new St Andrew's Primary School was built in Hawley Road and the children moved into the new building in November 1973. The new school was officially opened by Cardinal Gray in April 1974.
