Croy is a small village in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, lying to the north‑east of Glasgow and not far from Cumbernauld. Its railway station and handy park‑and‑ride beside the M80 make it a popular commuter base with regular services into Glasgow and Edinburgh, while local shops, a primary school and a compact community give it a distinctly village feel despite modern housing growth.
The area has industrial roots in coal and quarrying, and close by on Croy Hill are visible remains of the Roman frontier, part of the Antonine Wall, which add an unexpected historic dimension. Residents often point to that mix of accessible transport, working‑class history and nearby green spaces as what makes Croy characterful.
