Longriggend began life as the longest of a group of mining villages in
this area. Over a hundred houses were built in the 1870s but by the 1910
only 20 houses remained and most of the pits had closed. Today only a
handful of houses are to be found on the Main Street but the Community
Council is one of the most active in the area.
Longriggend is a village with a population of less than 150, nestled in
the heart of Scotland, 6.2 miles from Airdrie town centre. Surrounded by scenic Lanarkshire countryside and farmland, Longriggend
is richly inhabited with numerous types of wildlife. Locals of the village
are those who can both enjoy the delights of the local countryside as well
as those who seek a more relaxed way of life in a close knit community.
