Overview

13 September 2025 (11:00 - 13:00) 14 September 2025 (12:30 - 15:00) This category B listed Church is a unique focal point within the Cumbernauld Village Conservation Area. This ancient building owes its foundations to an early chapel built by the Comyn family at the end of the 12th or the beginning of the 13th century. The Chapel fell into disuse after the Reformation but was rebuilt in 1650 and greatly extended in 1659 and remains in use as a Church of Scotland place of worship today. Cumbernauld is usually thought of as a ‘New Town’ created initially in the 1950s and 1960s to cope with Glasgow’s overspill, but the original Cumbernauld has a long history, stretching back over 800 years. What is now Cumbernauld Trinity Parish Church in the Village is one of the oldest buildings in Cumbernauld and therefore part of our town’s, and Scotland’s, architectural heritage. There will be a display of historical material, maps and documents, and a slideshow of photographs showing Cumbernauld as it used to be before the New Town was built. Guided tours between 12:30pm and 2:30pm on Sunday 14th September.
