Lenzie history

---

Lenzie, as a town, was built in the 19th century as a commuter town for those travelling to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Lenzie Moss, a boggy, marshy area of Lenzie that has not been built on, has peat bogs, which were extensively exploited and now feature the characteristics of peat cutting. The Lenzie Peat Railway was a narrow gauge railway. Woodilee Hospital opened in 1874 but gradually closed down from the mid-1990s.

Lenzie toponymy

The name probably derives from the Gaelic Lèanaidh, a locative form of lèana, meaning a “wet meadow” The whole parish was split into Easter Lenzie which now contains for example Lenziemill and Wester Lenzie.
