Cumbernauld
Cumbernauld (; gd, Comar nan Allt, meeting of the streams) is a large town in the historic county of Dunbartonshire and council area of North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is the tenth most-populous locality in Scotland and the most populated town in North Lanarkshire, positioned in the centre of Scotland's Central Belt. Geographically, Cumbernauld sits between east and west, being on the Scottish watershed between the Forth and the Clyde; however, it is culturally more weighted towards Glasgow and the New Town's planners aimed to fill 80% of its houses from Scotland's largest city to reduce housing pressure there. Traces of Roman occupation are still visible, for example at Westerwood and, less conspicuously, north of the M80 where the legionaries surfaced the Via Flavii, later called the "Auld Cley Road". This is acknowledged in Cumbernauld Community Park, also site of Scotland's only visible open-air Roman altar, in the shadow of the imposing Carrickstone Water Tower. For ...

St Mungo
Kentigern ( cy, Cyndeyrn Garthwys; la, Kentigernus), known as Mungo, was a missionary in the Celtic Britons, Brittonic Kingdom of Strathclyde in the late sixth century, and the founder and patron saint of the city of Glasgow. Name In Wales and England, this saint is known by his birth and baptismal name Kentigern ( cy, Cyndeyrn). This name probably comes from the Common Brittonic, British *''Cuno-tigernos'', which is composed of the elements *''cun'', a hound, and *''tigerno'', a lord, prince, or king. The evidence is based on the Old Welsh record ''Conthigirn(i)''. Other etymologies have been suggested, including British *''Kintu-tigernos'' 'chief prince' based on the English form Kentigern, but the Old Welsh form above and Old English ''Cundiʒeorn'' do not appear to support this. Particularly in Scotland, he is known by the nickname, pet name Mungo, possibly derived from the Cumbric language, Cumbric equivalent of the cy, fy nghu 'my dear (one)'. The Mungo pet name or hypoc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
