Cumbernauld town centre Cumbernauld town centre was designed in the 1950s as a megastructure. Phase 1 was completed between 1963 and 1967, and the centre was opened by Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon in May 1967. It was expanded in 2007 by the addition of the Antonine Centre, a shopping centre linked to the older structure by walkways and lifts.

Cumbernauld Village Cumbernauld was designated a new town in 1955. The Village has a pre-mediaeval history, with a Roman settlement being built in the area due to its proximity to the Antonine Wall. After the Roman period the settlement remained and grew to such an extent that the Comyns family built their chapel there.
