| Chapelhall is a village just outside the town of Airdrie
(2.5 miles) in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Over the years
Chapelhall has developed itself from being a small mining village to now
being the largest village in Monklands.
Chapelhall is well situated just off the M8 motorway 14 miles from
Glasgow city centre and around 30 miles from Edinburgh city centre.
Chapelhall is also only one mile away from Eurocentral, linking it with
the rest of Scotland, Britain and Europe.
Chapelhall lies on the opposite side of the North Calder Water from
Calderbank and has very similar history. Iron working and coal mining were
once prominent - with three blast furnaces working in the early 1830s. The
old village also had a quarry, a brickworks and a bakery. The first
curator of Kew Gardens, William Aiton, began work as a gardener in
Woodhall House near Chapelhall.
