Coatbridge, Industrial town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Located 9 miles east of Glasgow, Coatbridge features Victorian architecture, multiple parks, and modern commercial districts across its urban landscape.
The discovery of iron deposits near coal mines transformed Coatbridge from small hamlets into a significant industrial center during the early 19th century.
The Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life preserves local heritage through exhibits about iron production, mining operations, and workers' daily experiences.
The town connects to Glasgow and Edinburgh through regular train services, with the station positioned in the central business district.
The Monkland Canal, constructed in the late 18th century, enabled coal transport to Glasgow and supported the growth of local ironstone extraction.
