Longriggend

Longriggend is a village in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, with a population of approximately 200.

Coal pits in the area used the railway extensively,[4] and by 1895 there was a station at Longriggend.

[6] The Ordnance Survey in 1867 recorded a Roman Catholic school in the village.

Its greatest honour was winning the Coatbridge Express Cup[8] in 1897–98, beating Albion Rovers in the final.

[10] The hospital was converted into Longriggend Remand Institution which has now been closed[11] and demolished.
