North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre

The centre is seen as the main repository for archives and modern records for the whole of North Lanarkshire.

Domestic life of the area is re-created through various talking figures and interactive interpretation.

However this part of the Heritage Centre was closed in 2011 and turned over to the storage of paper archives.

[1] The local studies and family research room is where reference media such as PC's and Microfilm are based, that allow visitors to browse through local and personal records, usually to search for family ties or former occupations.

Also, based within the heritage centre, is the viewing tower, located on the fifth floor of the building, giving an excellent view of the Clyde Valley region, the Campsie Fells, and of mountains from Tinto Hill to as far back as Ben Lomond, usually only viewable in sunny conditions.
