context_page_description: Moodiesburn is a small town in Scotland, located 8 miles north-east of Glasgow city centre, in the North Lanarkshire council area. It is situated on the A80 road, between Stepps and Cumbernauld.
context_section_description: Bedlay Cemetery is the local cemetery for Moodiesburn. The nearby Bedlay Castle has stood since the late 16th century.
  The suburb includes a community centre and library, a miners' welfare club (the Auchengeich Miners Welfare), a multi-denominational school (Glenmanor Primary), a denominational school (St. Michael's Primary), a Church of Scotland parish church, a Roman Catholic church, and an independent evangelical church called New Beginnings. There is also the Silver Larch public house, a Knights of Saint Columba social club and a coffee shop called The Coffee House.
  The community's original 1950s council house builds comprise an area known as "Old Moodiesburn" (though a substantial number of those homes are now privately owned). A batch of houses with updated resources were constructed in the 1960s, and dubbed the "electric scheme" by locals. Modern homes have since been developed in this area of Moodiesburn, including by Taylor Woodrow (1989), Persimmon (1997) and Lovell (2016). The opposite end, by Devro headquarters, is composed mostly of private residences by Christian Salvesen (1970), Tay/Wimpey (1992), Bellway (1995) and Persimmon (2006 and 2018). Miller Homes are set to build on the former Stoneyetts Hospital site as of 2019.
  A small estate of new council builds was erected in the midst of the Salvesen area in 2013.
