Biggar Road ( continued)
Parish, Trace 5.XII-7. The name is well known not only in the Parish, but in the surrounding district, from a tradition that the Hamiltons of Dalziel had at one time possessed the property on either side of it from their Dalziel Estate to the Town of Cumbernauld. It is said to have been the main road to Biggar in former times. Like the "Borrowstounness Road", described on Trace5.XII-2, the name is used by all persons. Authorities in the Parish, except the Estate Map of Woodhall, recognise the road as a Roman Road, and there is nothing more remarkable in its appearance than an ordinary Parish Road.
