Kildrum was the first area to be constructed in Cumbernauld new town. The main road is in the shape of an arc with residential streets leading from it. Inside the arc are ex-corporation houses and better quality mostly private housing on the outside, bordering the private housing is Cumbernauld Park which features in scenes from the film Gregory's Girl. Interestingly within the houses, former farm buildings have been turned into the YMCA and a shop, one of the very few instances of pre-60s building surviving to the modern day. Three tower blocks lie on the edge of Kildrum close to the Town Centre.
