You know you live in Airdrie when... Airdrie, whose name comes from the Gaelic for high hill pasture, can be dated back to AD577.

Airdrie is actually rather less afflicted by smoke and bad air than nearby Coatbridge, despite usually being downwind of it!!!

The Meaning of Airdrie :

Although still controversial, some say it derives from the Gaelic “ard ruith” meaning a level height or high pasture land. Others say it derives from Arderyth, the scene of the battle in 577AD between the armies of Aeddam, King of Kintyre, and Rydderych the Bountiful, King of Strathclyde. Possibly another suggestion could be that it was taken from the Gaelic “Airidh” meaning a sheiling or wayside town. As an aside, in 1695 the Scottish Parliament passed a special Act of Parliament authorising “Robert Hamilton of Airdrie” to hold four fairs yearly and a weekly market in the “town of Airdry”
