Buying in Croy
Croy is a small commuter village in North Lanarkshire of roughly 1900 residents, located between Glasgow and Falkirk. It lies approximately 14 miles northeast of Glasgow city centre and 8 miles west of Falkirk. Other close towns include Kilsyth (2 miles), Cumbernauld (5 miles), and Bonnybridge (7 miles). Historically, Croy was a mining village, with coal mining being a key industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The area’s economy revolved around the local Croy Colliery, which provided employment for many residents until the decline of the coal industry in the mid-20th century. The village also had a strong connection to the railway, which played a significant role in its development.
Croy today has transformed into a popular, yet quiet commuter settlement, popular with young families and professionals. The area has seen substantial residential development in recent years, with modern housing estates complementing older properties. Now an established commuter settlement, many of the residents work in Glasgow, Falkirk, or Edinburgh, taking advantage of the village’s transport links. Undoubtedly Croy’s popularity is a result of its position to other towns; it’s not far away but feels set aside from busier areas, the development of modern housing, and excellent transport links. While much of the industrial past has faded, the village retains some historic character, particularly in its older housing stock and surrounding rural landscape.
As mentioned, Croy is exceptionally well-connected for commuters, boasting one of the busiest railway stations in North Lanarkshire. The station has frequent services to Glasgow Queen Street, Falkirk High, and Edinburgh Waverley on the Glasgow-Edinburgh mainline. By road the village is close to the M80 motorway, providing easy road access to Glasgow, Stirling, and Edinburgh. Local bus routes connect Croy to Kilsyth, Cumbernauld, and surrounding areas.
When it comes to amenities and things to do, while Croy is a small village, it benefits from a range of amenities nearby. Basic services including convenience stores and local businesses are available, with larger supermarkets and retail centres in Kilsyth and Cumbernauld. The surrounding countryside offers scenic beauty, with rolling hills, woodlands, canal walks, and nature trails, making it an attractive location for those seeking a balance between rural living and urban conveniences. The nearby Kilsyth Hills are ideal for hill walking, cycling, and wildlife watching. There’s also Croy Hill which offers a good walk and panoramic views of the area. On Croy Hill itself are remnants if the Antonine Wall, A UNESCO World Heritage Site, marking the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain. Another nearby attraction is Colzium Estate in Kilsyth which is a historic country estate with woodland walks, gardens, and a museum.
In terms of local education Holy Cross Primary is the local primary school. Pupils of secondary age would attend St. Maurice’s High School in Cumbernauld or Kilsyth Academy.
In March 2025, property in the Croy area was at an average value of £235,294.
