It has served as an educational facility to schools from all over Scotland, given Scots the opportunity to see what Sikhism is, where it comes and what it represents. Both Sikhs and Scots are well known for their commitment to charity work, entrepreneurship and community spirit. To accommodate the growing number of Glasgow�s Sikh population, on the site of the Gurdwara�s commercial car park which was originally Glasgow�s old Eye Infirmary, the new Gurdwara was built. The foundation brick was laid on April 13th 1999 with actual work commencing officially in November 2010. In 2016, the Phase One build of the New Central Gurdwara Singh Sahba was completed.

Christ Church
description: Designed by R Rowand Anderson in a relatively plain Gothic style and completed in 1864, the exterior of this church belies the homely extravagance of the polychrome interior. It is lined with yellow-brown glazed bricks with red bands three bricks deep. The window arches and chamfered sills are also red and the chancel has square moulded tiles. A panelled oak dado extends round the whole interior. The nave has an open scissor truss roof; whilst the ceiling of the chancel is painted pale blue with stencilled stars. The chancel arch springs from attached pillars that stand on carved corbels with naturalistic foliage. Within the arch is set a wrought iron screen, made in 1897 by the Carron Company. It was heavily pruned in the 1960s and the cross that surmounted it was suspended from the arch. In the Lady Chapel there is a wooden altar dedicated to those of the congregation who fell in the First World War, with front panels painted with scenes from the life of Christ. Hinged side panels have been added with the names of those who died in the Second World War. This was the first war memorial to be erected in Falkirk.

Church of St John the Baptist
description: This white church on the ski road is passed by thousands every year, very few of whom realise that it is a masterpiece. It was designed by Sir Ninian Comper (1864-1960). He was a Scot who was arguably the greatest British 20th Church Architect and who described the building as his "little gem". Sir Ninian Comper was much admired by Betjeman (and therefore ridiculed by Pevsner) and he is buried in Westminster Abbey, for which he designed 8 stained glass windows. He was much patronised by the Scottish Episcopal churches for which her created many fittings, windows, vestments and extensions but he was responsible for only three complete churches in Scotland, at Kirriemuir, Braemar and Rothiemurchus. This little building nestles amongst the Caledonian pines with the minimum of external or internal decoration. It was consecrated in 1931 in memory of John Peter Grant, the 13th Laird of Rothiemurchus.

description: The Foundation Stone for the Church was laid in 1961 and the church was completed in 1962. It was the first new church to be built in the new town of Cumbernauld. As the church was to serve the whole town a site on top of the hill near to the Town centre was chosen. The design of the building was influenced by what became known as the New Liturgical Movement. Instead of the usual arrangement the nave is wider than it is long. This means the congregation are much closer to the altar. Above the altar is a beautiful wooden carving of Christ the King in the shape of a cross and we have a peaceful Lady Chapel which will be open for quiet prayer and meditation all day.

Clachan Church
description: Clachan has been a place of continual worship for 800 years although the current church dates from 1817. It has been at the heart of some of Scotland’s most iconic history. Clachans lairds, the Mackenzie’s of Ballone, lost land and fortune fighting for the Stuart Kings. Oliver Cromwell’s and “Butcher” Cumberland’s troops each laid waste to farmland around Clachan Church. In 1746 Clachans minister rescued Jacobite prisoners from death and deportation. The Mackenzie monuments can be seen in the graveyard. In 1773 emigrants from Lochbroom sailed in the ‘Hector’ to Pictou, Nova Scotia. Communion was held outside the church before they were rowed out to the ship anchored in Loch Broom. The two communities retain strong links to this day. The 1820s saw many townships around Clachan cleared to make way for sheep. Clachans then minister, Thomas Ross, allowed those cleared to settle and build new homes on glebe land. The Church was purchased by the local community in 2018 and extensive renovations are planned over the next 5 years.
