A book I read many years ago, The Lost Villages by Hugh Lucas, Eddie Devlin and John Reilly, has been reissued after many years out of print.
It is a fascinating collection of reminisces about the now long gone villages between Plains and Greengairs, recalling locations and characters, and painting a picture of a way of life now completely eradicated, much like the locations in the book.
It was officially launched at Airdrie Library on 14th March, and costs £9, with a donation from each sale going to St Andrews Hospice.
If you are interested in local history I can highly recommend it.

Do you know if they are reprinting this book as I would love to buy it?
Hi Ann,
I think Airdrie Library local history department would be the best place to try.
Anyone know where / if I can buy this book please
