Wardpark is an industrial estate in Cumbernauld, Scotland split by the M80 motorway.
[1] The former Burroughs factory, the first factory of Cumbernauld new town, was reoccupied by OKI but was demolished to make way for Westway Retail Park, OKI having been relocated to Westfield.
On the aerial photo the yellow building is part of the Wardpark Studios where the Outlander TV series is made.
[3] John G Russell Transport Limited bought one of the largest warehouses, at 5 Wardpark, early in 2018.
The country road to the north has been blocked to motor vehicles and crosses the Antonine Wall and the main Glasgow-Edinburgh railway line before leading to the Forth and Clyde canal.
