KIPBYRE

Or Kipbyres; now usually Kippbyres. Land situated in New Monkland parish, to the north of Mosside and to the south of Braidenhill. From early 17th century associated with the Crawford family then the Scott family. Later in 19th century known for its place in the railway network:

"While the Monkland & Kirkintilloch was under construction by Thomas Grainger, who laid out several of the early Scottish lines, it was decided to extend it; and in May 1826, five months before it opened, an Act of Parliament authorised the Ballochney line joining it at Kippbyres and coming in from three branches. The Ballochney was in time extended farther east by the Slamannan, and the three companies amalgamated as the Monkland Railways, which were taken over by the Edinburgh & Glasgow and became part of the North British in 1865."

There was a colliery there too in the late 19th century. ^{3 4 5}
