Condorrat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Condorrat is an area of the town of Cumbernauld, which is located in the North Lanarkshire area of Scotland. The area's name coming from the Gaelic "Comh Dobhair Alt", which means the joint river place (the river Luggie meets the Moss Water in the area).

A Dalshannon Farm was located in the area, and it now gives its name to another part of Cumbernauld, Dalshannon, to the West of Condorrat.

Condorrat was a gypsy community and was a village in its own right for many years before being incorporated into Cumbernauld when it was designated as one of Scotland's new towns. It was the birthplace of John Baird, a leading participant in the Radical War of 1820.
