Learn more about hotels in Airdrie

Airdrie is a Scottish town situated just 12 miles east of Glasgow city centre, and its name, dating back to 1373, is believed to be derived from the Gaelic phrase 'An Àrd Ruigh,' meaning 'a level height' or 'high pasture land.' The town is steeped in history, its development heavily influenced by the Cistercian monks of Newbattle Abbey, lending the area its nickname 'the Monklands'. Once a thriving market town thanks to its prosperous weaving industry, Airdrie now offers visitors a wealth of cultural attractions and outdoor experiences to enjoy.

The town's location on the 'Hogs Back,' a ridge of land running east to west, provides stunning landscapes for those keen on exploring the great outdoors. Airdrieonians F.C., the local football club playing in the Scottish Championship, is based at the Excelsior Stadium, a perfect destination for sports enthusiasts.
