Coatbridge is a no-nonsense town in North Lanarkshire, just east of Glasgow, with a strong sense of community and deep industrial roots. Once a bustling hub of ironworks and coal mining, it's grown into a solid residential and commercial centre with plenty of green spaces, decent transport links and a few unexpected gems. While it doesn't shout for attention, there's something quietly proud about Coatbridge, where generations have built their lives and stuck around because it's familiar, grounded and properly Scottish at heart.

Historically, Coatbridge made its mark during the Industrial Revolution. The discovery of rich coal and ironstone seams brought rapid growth in the 19th century, turning the town into a powerhouse of heavy industry. Known back then as the “Iron Burgh”, it attracted workers from far and wide, especially Ireland. At one point, Coatbridge was so smoky and industrial that visitors compared it to parts of northern England's manufacturing belt. Over the decades, the ironworks closed and the mines shut down, but the town adapted. Today, Coatbridge has a population of around 44,000 and, while the slag heaps are long gone, you can still feel the working-class grit in the place.

For things to see and do, the standout is Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life, built on the site of a former ironworks. It's an open-air museum with trams, machinery and even a recreated miners' row. Drumpellier Country Park offers a complete change of pace, with lochs, woodland walks and open spaces perfect for a quiet wander or a family day out. There's also Time Capsule Waterpark, which is a hit with the kids—and not a bad shout on a rainy day. In the surrounding area, you've got Bothwell Castle (Historic Environment Scotland) just to the south, and Chatelherault Country Park a bit further on—both well worth the trip for history buffs and walkers alike. While there aren't many National Trust for Scotland properties directly in Coatbridge, there are a few dotted further out like Greenbank Garden near Clarkston.

North Lanarkshire is dotted with places worth exploring, from the quirky art installations at The Helix (home to the Kelpies just over the border) to the more traditional town of Airdrie, right next door. Strathclyde Country Park's a popular one too—perfect for water sports, jogs or bike rides, and it hosts a variety of events throughout the year. The area's peppered with heritage trails, cycle routes and golf courses, not to mention a strong culture of live music, local football, and community-led events that give the region its voice.

Getting to Coatbridge couldn't be easier. The town has a handful of train stations—Coatbridge Central, Sunnyside and Blairhill—linking it to Glasgow Queen Street and Edinburgh Waverley. It's also just off the M8, so whether you're coming from Glasgow or heading towards the east, it's well placed for drivers. Local bus services run frequently across Lanarkshire, and Glasgow Airport is around 30–40 minutes away by car, with Prestwick Airport also an option for some travellers. Once you're in town, most things are within walking distance or a short bus hop away.

North Lanarkshire is a county of contrasts. There's the legacy of industry—mining, steel, railways—mixed in with countryside, lochs, and post-industrial renewal. Places like Motherwell, Cumbernauld, Airdrie and Bellshill each have their own stories, and between them you'll find working farms, nature reserves, and towns that are still proud of their heritage while gradually shifting into something new. It's not flashy, but it's full of real-life charm, shaped by decades of hard work and a strong sense of place.
