North Carbrain is a residential area of the New Town, Cumbernauld. It was one of the first areas to be built of the new town. Along with South Carbrain, the area was originally all called Carbrain until the CDC decided it was too large and split it in two. It is bounded to the North by the Town Centre, to the East by Kildrum, to the West by Greenfaulds and to the South by South Carbrain.
