More about Kirkintilloch Scotland
Kirkintilloch (Cathair Cheann Tulaich in the Scottish
Gaelic language) is a burgh in Scotland, approximately
eight miles north-east of central Glasgow. The town is
the administrative centre of East Dunbartonshire
council, and in the census of 2001, had a population of
20,281.
The first settlement on the site of what is now
Kirkintilloch was of Roman origin, a fort established in
what is now the Peel Park area of the town in the
mid-second century, one of the northernmost posts in
Roman Britannia. Through it the Antonine Wall was
routed; its course continues to straddle the town to
this day, although Romans were eventually driven out and
the site remained uninhabited for nearly a thousand
years until Clan Cumming established a castle and church
there in the twelfth century. A small settlement grew
and was granted burgh status in 1211, becoming an
important staging post for west-east journeys from
Glasgow to eastern and north-eastern Scotland.
Modern prosperity came with the routing of the Forth and
Clyde Canal through the town in 1773, bringing the town
to prominence as an inland port. The establishment of a
railway link to Glasgow (the Monkland and Kirkintilloch
Railway) in the 1820s allowed Kirkintilloch to further
develop as an industral centre for weaving and a major
boat building locations for canal traffic. To this day,
Kirkintilloch is still promoted as the "Canal Capital of
Scotland", in which added pride has been taken since the
completion of the Canal's recent regeneration project.
The 1960s development plan to gentrify Glasgow saw
Kirkintilloch used as an overspill settlement for
relocated Glaswegians in combination with the new towns
of Livingston and Cumbernauld, offering employment in
housebuilding and an increase to the local population to
its current levels.
Kirkintilloch was part of traditional Dunbartonshire
until the 1975 reorganisation of the traditional
counties when it became part of the Strathkelvin local
government region of Strathclyde. A second
reorganisation in 1996 established East Dunbartonshire
council from Monklands the adjacent region of Bearsden
and Milngavie; Kirkintilloch is its administrative
centre and the council's headquarters are at Tom
Johnston House in the town, named after prominent early
20th century politician and Kirkintilloch native, Thomas
Johnston.
Kirkintilloch's 1960s redevelopment had taken little
account of culture and the area has been adversely
affected by the demolition of its local swimming pool
and the resultant lack of leisure facilites in the area.
In response, a new leisure centre is under contstruction
following approval from East Dunbartonshire council,
with tennis, badminton, swimming, football and gymnasium
facilites. It is projected for completion in 2007. This
construction comes in combination with a wider-ranging
artistic, cultural and social regeneration project under
way, called Kirkintilloch's Initiative.
