It was known as the Iron Heart of the Nation, its communities the iron Burgh and the Monkland Forge. This was the brave new Scotland of Industrial Revolution and a land of brazen contrasts; patrician country houses and fourteen-to-a-room lodgings, tobacco lords' pleasure grounds and immense slag heaps, coalmasters' mansions and coalminers' hovels. Thus the pattern of the buildings and social history reflected equally the decades of success and the years of depression. The guide traces the economic and social fortunes of the area and its varied architecture.
