Gartferrieland, Moodiesburn, Lanarkshire, Scotland

Notes:
Moodiesburn is a small town in Scotland, located 8 miles (13 kilometres) north-east of Glasgow city centre, in the North Lanarkshire council area. It is situated on the A80 road, between Stepps and Cumbernauld.



The etymology of the name is probably from the common Scottish surname Moody. Several old documents show Moodiesburn with various spellings including maps by Richardson, Forrest, and William Roy. Moodiesburn (or Mudiesburn) was formerly part of the parish of Cadder. The New Statistical Accounts recorded 30 families and 143 people in 1836. In 1846 there were reported to be 35 houses with 220 people living in them. Towards the end of the 19th century the population fell to as low as 150. The town was developed in the 20th century with employment in coal mining and around psychiatric institution Stoneyetts Hospital. In the 1930s, wooden houses were constructed on the estate of Gartferry House.
